System Settings and Operation

System Settings

• Blind-Spot Safety Function Setting

The driver can activate the system by turning the ignition key to the ON position and selecting "User Settings → Driver Assistance → Blind-Spot Safety".

- BCW turns on and is ready for operation when "Warning Only" is selected. Then, if the vehicle approaches the driver's blind spot zone, a warning sounds.
- The system is deactivated and the BCW button indicator turns off when "Off" is selected.

• If you press the BCW switch when "Warning Only" is selected, the indicator light turns off, and the system is deactivated.
• If you press the BCW switch when the system is off, the indicator light turns on, and the system is activated. When the system is initially turned on, and is turned on again when the engine is restarted after being turned off, the warning indicator light illuminates for 3 seconds on the outside rearview mirror.
• If the engine is turned off and then restarted, the system maintains the last setting.

• Warning Timing Selection

The driver can select the timing of the initial warning in the user settings on the LCD display by selecting "User Settings → Driver Assistance → Warning Timing".

• The initial blind-spot collision warning options include the following:

- Normal:

When this option is selected, the initial blind-spot collision warning is activated at the normal timing. If this setting seems too sensitive to you, change it to "Late".

The warning timing may seem late if a vehicle to the side or rear accelerates rapidly.

- Late:

Select the warning timing for this warning when traffic is light and you are driving at low speed.
