BLIND-SPOT COLLISION-AVOIDANCE ASSIST (BCA)*

Blind-spot Collision-Avoidance Assist is designed to detect approaching vehicles in the driver’s blind spots and warn the driver of a possible collision with a warning indicator and a warning sound. If it detects that there is a collision risk when exiting a parallel parking space, BCA may assist with braking the vehicle to help avoid a collision.

Vehicle Detection:

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

Collision Warning:

When the 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.

Collision-Avoidance Assist (while departing):

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. Your vehicle needs to be traveling slower than 2 mph and the approaching vehicle is traveling faster than 3 mph.

BCA Settings:

Only adjust settings when the vehicle is at a standstill, gear shift is in Park and the ignition is on or the Engine Start/Stop button is in the ON position
**To enable/disable in Vehicle Settings in the Infotainment System: **Press the SETUP key or the onscreen SETUP button. Press VEHICLE to enter Vehicle Settings. Select Driver Assistance, then Driving Safety and select Blind-spot Safety

To adjust the Warning Volume: Press the SETUP button to go to VEHICLE SETTINGS on the Infotainment System. Press VEHICLE, DRIVER ASSISTANCE, and under WARNING METHODS, you can adjust WARNING VOLUME, and turn DRIVER SAFETY PRIORITY on or off

Quick Tips:

When activating BCA or restarting the vehicle with BCA enabled, the warning light on the side mirrors will appear for approximately 3 seconds. When the vehicle is restarted with BCA disabled, the warning message will appear on the cluster
BCA will activate when:
- The system is turned on
- Other vehicles are detected on the rear sides of the vehicle at speeds above 6mph
- Vehicle speed is above approximately 12 mph

Reminders:

If the turn signal is operated to make a left turn in an intersection, BCA may warn the driver regardless of the driver’s intention
BCA will not issue a warning if the approaching vehicle’s speed is calculated to be under 6 mph
When BCA is ON and the ignition is cycled, BCA returns to its previous state
Adjusting the Warning Methods or Volume will adjust settings for other driver assistance systems
