Operation of the Function

Vehicle Detection

• To warn the driver that a vehicle has been detected, the warning light on the outside rearview mirror will illuminate.
• The system will operate when your vehicle speed is above 12 mph (20 km/h) and the speed of the vehicle in the blind spot is above 7 mph (10 km/h).

Collision Warning

• The collision warning will activate when the turn signal is turned on toward the direction of the detected vehicle.
• If "Warning Only" is selected in the Settings menu, the collision warning will operate when your vehicle approaches a vehicle detected in the blind spot of an adjacent lane.
• To warn the driver of a possible collision, the warning light on the outside rearview mirror will flash. At the same time, an audible warning will sound.
• When the turn signal is turned off or you move out of the lane, the collision warning will be canceled and the system will return to vehicle detection status.

WARNING

• The detection range of the rear corner radar is determined by the standard road width; therefore, on a narrow road, the system may detect other vehicles in the adjacent lane and warn you. Conversely, on a wide road, the system may not be able to detect a vehicle moving in the next lane and may not warn you.
• When the hazard warning lights are on, the turn signal collision warning will not operate.

Information

If the driver's seat is on the left side, the collision warning may activate when you turn left. Keep a safe distance from vehicles in the left lane. If the driver's seat is on the right side, the collision warning may activate when you turn right. Keep a safe distance from vehicles in the right lane.

WARNING

Observe the following precautions when using the Blind-Spot Safety system:

• For safety, change the settings after parking the vehicle in a safe location.
• If another system's warning message is displayed or a warning sound is heard, the Blind-Spot Safety system warning message may not be displayed and the warning sound may not be generated.
• You may not hear the Blind-Spot Safety system warning sound if there is a lot of noise outside.
• The Blind-Spot Safety system may warn the driver late or may not warn the driver depending on the road and driving conditions.
• The driver must maintain control of the vehicle at all times. Do not rely on the Blind-Spot Safety system. Maintain a safe braking distance and, if necessary, depress the brake pedal to reduce speed or stop the vehicle.
