WARNING
僅 The detecting range of the rear corner
radar is determined by a standard
road width, therefore, on a narrow
road, the function may detect other
vehicles in the next lane and warn
you. In contrast, on a wide road, the
function may not be able to detect a
Blind-Spot Collision Warning (BCW)
vehicle driving in the next lane and
may not warn you.
僅 When the hazard warning flasher is
on, the collision warning by the turn
signal will not operate.
僅 For your safety, change the Settings
after parking the vehicle at a safe
location.
僅 If any other system's warning mes-
sage is displayed or audible warning
is generated, Blind-Spot Collision
Warning's warning message may not
be displayed and audible warning
may not be generated.
僅 You may not hear the warning sound
of Blind-Spot Collision Warning if the
surrounding is noisy.
僅 Blind-Spot Collision Warning may
warn the driver late or may not warn
the driver depending on the road and
driving conditions.
僅 Driver should maintain control of the
vehicle at all times. Do not depend on
Blind-Spot Collision Warning. Maintain
a safe braking distance, and if neces-
sary, depress the brake pedal to
reduce driving speed or to stop the
vehicle.
僅 Never operate Blind-Spot Collision
Warning on people, animal, objects,
etc. It may cause serious injury or
death.
