The BSD (Blind-Spot Detection) system uses a radar sensor to warn the driver while driving.

It detects the rear of the vehicle and provides information to the driver.

➀ BSD (Blind-Spot Detection)

The warning range depends on your vehicle speed. However, if your vehicle speed is faster than other nearby vehicles by 10 km/h or more, the warning does not operate.

➁ LCA (Lane Change Assist)

When vehicles approach your vehicle at high speed, the warning activates.

➂ RCTA (Rear Cross-Traffic Alert)

When your vehicle is moving in reverse, the sensor detects approaching vehicles from the left or right side and the warning operates.

WARNING

  • Always check the road conditions for unexpected situations while driving, even when the BSD (Blind-Spot Detection) system is operating.
  • The BSD (Blind-Spot Detection) system is designed for convenience. Do not rely solely on the system; always pay attention to safe driving.
