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 there is a collision risk when exiting a parallel space, BCA may assist with braking to help avoid a collision.

BCA provides Collision Warning when it detects a potential collision with a vehicle, emitting an audible warning and visual alert on the outside rearview mirrors. When exiting a parallel parking space and BCA detects that the collision risk has increased, BCA may help avoid a collision by applying the brakes.

Vehicle detection: When another vehicle is detected within BCA warning boundary , your vehicle speed is above 12 mph and the approaching vehicle is above 7 mph, an indicator will illuminate on the outside rearview mirrors .

Collision warning: When vehicle detection warning is on and the driver activates a turn signal, a flashing indicator will illuminate on the outside rearview mirrors and the system will sound a warning. Your vehicle speed must be above 25 mph and the approaching vehicle must be above 7 mph.

Collision Warning Assist: When collision warning has already occurred, and the collision risk has increased, BCA can help avoid a collision by applying the brakes. Your vehicle needs to be traveling less than 2 mph, and the approaching vehicle is traveling less than 3 mph.
