Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist (BCA)

Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist detects vehicles in the rear-side warning zone when driving above a certain speed and provides alerts through the warning indicator and audible warning if a collision risk is assessed. In addition, when exiting forward, Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist may assist with braking to help prevent a collision.

When you are pulling out of a parking space, if Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist determines that there is a collision risk with an approaching vehicle in your blind spot, it can help you avoid a collision by applying the brakes.

  • The timing of the warning may vary if a vehicle is approaching at a high speed.
