BCA uses rear corner radar sensors in the rear bumper to monitor and warn the driver in certain situations if it detects an approaching vehicle in the driver’s blind spot area and before changing lanes. Initially, BCA provides a Collision Warning when it detects a potential collision with a vehicle, emitting an audible warning and visual alert on the outside rearview mirrors. If there is a collision risk when exiting a parallel parking space, BCA may assist with braking the vehicle to help avoid a collision.

When another vehicle is detected within the Collision Warning warning boundary
, an indicator will illuminate on the outside rearview mirrors
.

When vehicle detection warning is on and the driver activates a turn signal, a flashing indicator will illuminate on the outside rearview mirrors and BCA will sound a warning.
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 can help avoid collision by applying the brake.
