BLIND-SPOT COLLISION-AVOIDANCE ASSIST (BCA)*

BCA is designed to help detect approaching vehicles in the driver’s blind spot areas and may 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.

Vehicle Detection:

If another vehicle is detected within the BCA warning boundary , an indicator may illuminate on the outside Rearview mirrors , on the Instrument Cluster and the head-up display.

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-Avoidance 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 can help avoid collision by applying the brake.
