BCA is designed to detect approaching vehicles in the driver’s blind spot areas and warn the driver of a possible collision with a warning light and a warning sound. If a collision risk is detected when exiting a parallel space, BCA may assist with braking to help avoid a collision.

Initially, BCA provides Blind-spot Collision Warning (BCW) when it detects a potential collision with a vehicle, emitting an audible warning and visual alert on the outside rearview mirrors. If the system detects that the collision risk has increased, BCA may apply the opposite side front brake to try and mitigate a potential collision.

Vehicle detection: If another vehicle is detected within the BCA warning boundary , an indicator may illuminate on the outside Rearview mirrors , an indicator may illuminate on the outside Rearview mirrors

Collision warning: When the vehicle detection warning is on and the driver activates a turn signal, an indicator may flash on the outside rearview mirrors and the system may sound a warning, and the steering wheel may vibrate.

Collision Warning Assist: When you are driving forward out of a parking space, if BCA determines that there’s a collision risk with an approaching vehicle in the blind spot, it may help avoid collision by applying the brake.
