Blind-spot Collision-Avoidance Assist 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 visual alert on the outside rearview mirrors 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. Initially, 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. If the system detects that the collision risk has increased, BCA may help avoid a collision by applying the brakes.

, an indicator may illuminate on the outside rearview mirrors
. This feature activates when the vehicle speed is above 12 mph, and the speed of the approaching vehicle is above 7 mph.
