BLIND SPOT DETECTION SYSTEM (BSD) (IF EQUIPPED)

(1) BSD (Blind spot detection)

The warning range varies in

accordance with a driving speed.

When your vehicle drives 6 mph

(10 km/h) faster than the other

vehicles, the system will not warn

you.

(2) LCA (Lane change assist)

When a vehicle approaches you

at a high speed, the system will

warn you.

OVI055119N

(3) RCTA (Rear cross traffic alert)

When your vehicle drives back-

wards, and when the sensor

detects the approaching vehicle

in the left and right side, the sys-

tem will warn you.

WARNING

• Always check the road condi-

tion while driving for unex-

pected situations even with

the BSD system ON.

• The BSD system is designed

for your convenience. Do not

solely rely on the system.

Always concentrate on driv-

ing for your safety.

The BSD (Blind spot detection) sys-

tem uses a radar sensor to alert the

driver while driving.

It monitors the rear area of the vehi-

cle and provides information to the

driver.
