Driving your vehicle
OSKEV051304L
A warning chime to alert the driver
will activate when:
1. A vehicle has been detected in the
blind spot area by the radar AND.
2. The turn signal is applied (same
side as where the vehicle is being
detected).
When this alert is activated, the
warning light on the outer side view
mirror and the Head-Up Display (if
equipped) will also blink. And a
warning chime will sound.
If you turn off the turn signal indi -
cator, the second stage alert will be
deactivated.
If the detected vehicle is no longer
within the blind spot area, the
warning will turn off according to
the driving conditions of the vehicle.
WARNING
The warning light on the outer
side view mirror will illuminate
whenever a vehicle is detected at
the rear side by the function.
Blind-Spot Collision Warning (BCW)
To avoid accidents, do not focus
only on the warning light and
neglect to see the surrounding of
the vehicle.
Drive safely even though the
vehicle is equipped with a Blind-
Spot Collision Warning. Do not
solely rely on the function but
check your surroundings before
changing lanes or backing the
vehicle up.
The function may not alert the
driver in some situations due to
function limitations so always
check your surroundings while
driving.
The driver should always use
extreme caution while operating
the vehicle, whether or not the
warning light on the outer side
view mirror illuminates or there is
a warning alarm.
CAUTION
Playing the vehicle audio system
at high volume may prevent occu -
pants from hearing Blind-Spot
Collision Warning warning sounds.
If any other warning sound such
as seat belt warning chime is
already generated, Blind-Spot
Collision Warning warning may
not sound.
