BLIND-SPOT COLLISION-AVOIDANCE ASSIST (BCA)*

BCA is designed to monitor the driver’s blind spot areas and provide visual and audible alerts if a vehicle is detected, helping to reduce the risk of 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 a vehicle is detected and the driver activates the turn signal, the system may flash an indicator on the outside mirror, sound a warning chime, and activate steering wheel vibration to alert the driver of a potential collision.

Collision-Avoidance Assist:

When driving forward out of a parallel parking space, BCA may automatically apply the brakes if it detects a risk of collision with a vehicle approaching from the rear blind spot.
