Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist  
is designed to help detect and monitor  
approaching vehicles in the driver’s  
blind spot area and warn the driver  
of a possible collision with a warning  
message and audible warning.  
In addition, if there is a risk of collision  
when changing lanes or driving forward  
out of a parking space, Blind-Spot  
Collision-Avoidance Assist will help avoid  
collision by applying the brake.  
OJX1070026R  
Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist  
helps detect and inform the driver that  
a vehicle is approaching at high speed  
from the blind spot area.  
CAUTION  
Warning timing may vary depending on  
the speed of the vehicle approaching at  
high speed.  
OJX1070025R  
Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist  
helps detect and inform the driver that a  
vehicle is in the blind spot.  
CAUTION  
The detecting range may vary  
depending on the speed of your vehicle.  
However, even if there is a vehicle in the  
blind spot area, Blind-Spot Collision-  
Avoidance Assist may not warn you  
when you pass by at high speeds.  
OJX1070027R  
When changing lanes by detecting  
the lane ahead, if Blind-Spot Collision-  
Avoidance Assist judges that there is  
a collision risk with an approaching  
vehicle in the blind spot, it will help avoid  
collision by applying the brake.

Collision Warning  
WARNING  
śꢀ Collision warning will operate when  
the turn signal is turned on in the  
direction of the detected vehicle.  
śꢀ If ‘Warning Only’ is selected from the  
Settings menu, the collision warning  
will operate when your vehicle  
approaches the lane the blind spot  
vehicle is detected.  
śꢀ The detecting range of the rear  
corner radar is determined by a  
standard road width, therefore, on  
a narrow road, Blind-Spot Collision-  
Avoidance Assist may detect other  
vehicles in the next next lane and  
warn you. In contrast, on a wide  
road, Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance  
Assist may not be able to detect a  
vehicle driving in the next lane and  
may not warn you.  
śꢀ To warn the driver of a collision, the  
warning light on the outside rearview  
mirror and head-up display (if  
equipped) will blink. At the same time,  
an audible warning will sound and the  
steering wheel will vibrate.  
śꢀ When the hazard warning flasher is  
on, the collision warning by the turn  
signal will not operate.  
śꢀ When the turn signal is turned off or  
you move away from the lane, the  
collision warning will be cancelled and  
Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist  
will return to vehicle detection state.  
Information  
śꢀ If the driver's seat is on the left side, the  
collision warning may occur when you  
turn left. Maintain a proper distance  
with the vehicles in the left lane. If the  
driver's seat is on the right side, the  
collision warning may occur when you  
turn right. Maintain a proper distance  
with the vehicles in the right lane.  
śꢀ The images and coulors in the  
instrument cluster may differ

śꢀ Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance  
Assist may not operate if the driver  
applies the brake pedal to avoid  
collision.  
WARNING  
The brake control may not operate  
properly depending on the status of  
ESC (Electronic Stability Control).  
There will only be a warning when:  
-
The ESC (Electronic Stability Control)  
warning light is on  
ESC (Electronic Stability Control) is  
engaged in a different function  
śꢀ When Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance  
Assist is operating, braking control  
by the system will automatically  
cancel when the driver excessively  
depresses the accelerator pedal or  
sharply steers the vehicle.  
śꢀ During Blind-Spot Collision-  
Avoidance Assist operation, the  
vehicle may stop suddenly injuring  
passengers and shifting loose  
objects. Always have the seat belt on  
and keep loose objects secured.
