BSD is a system that uses two radar magnetic wave sensors attached to the rear bumper to measure the distance to following vehicles and provides detection and (visual and audible) warning of any vehicle entering the blind spot.
  • Blind Spot Detection (BSD): Detects other high-speed vehicles in the blind spot and then displays the BSD warning lamp on the driver's side mirror. The warning lamp and alarm activate when the driver turns on the turn signal to change lanes where the other vehicle is located.
  • Lane Change Assist (LCA) system: detects other vehicles in the blind spot area, then displays the BSD warning lamp on the outside mirror for the driver. The warning lamp and alarm activate when the driver turns on the turn signal lamp without detecting a vehicle suddenly approaching from that direction.
System Operating Mode
  1. When the engine is started with the switch in the OFF position, the OFF mode is activated.
  2. When the ON switch is pressed in OFF mode, the passive mode is activated.
  3. If the engine is started with the switch on, passive mode is activated. ※ When the ignition is on, the switch is in its initial state: the last position is retained.
    A. If IGN OFF → ON with the switch on, the switch is on.
    B. If IGN OFF → ON with the switch in the OFF position, the switch is in the OFF position.
  4. If you start the engine with the BSD switch on, or if you turn on the BSD while it is off, the outside rearview mirror warning lamp blinks for 2-3 seconds. This indicates to the driver that the BSD system is ready. (Provided that the system is not in fail mode, there is no blinking.)
  5. If the activation conditions (speed and radius of curvature) are met while driving, the active mode is turned on (warning is issued).
  6. If the activation conditions (speed and radius of curvature) are not met while driving, the passive mode is turned on (warning is canceled).
  7. If the BSD and LCA operation fails in any mode, Fail mode is activated.
  8. If the BSD and LCA operate normally in Fail mode, the OFF mode is turned on.
  9. If the OFF button is pressed while the BSD and LCA functions (active/passive) are operating, the OFF mode is turned on.

LCA Warning Deactivation ConditionsThe entire body of the target vehicle is ahead of line B.The entire body of the target vehicle passes line C.The entire body of the target vehicle passes line D and hysteresis Out.The entire body of the target vehicle passes line E and hysteresis Out.Under all of the above conditions, TTC (Time To Collision) is not more than 4.5 sec.
  15. Sensor Activation ConditionsThe BSD and LCA switch (indicated by the switch LED) is illuminated.Vehicle speed: 30 km/h or fasterRadius of curvature: 170 m or moreRelative vehicle speed: -10 ~ 250 km/h ("-" means overtaking the vehicle ahead)
  16. Sensor Deactivation ConditionsThe BSD and LCA switch (indicated by the switch LED) is off.Vehicle speed: 28 km/h or lowerRadius of curvature: 150 m or lessRelative speed of vehicles: All except -10 to 250 km/h ("-" means overtaking the vehicle ahead)
  17. System Control ProhibitionRadar blocked by debris: System condition - Blockage message is displayed. Radar installation damaged by external shock: Transmit the DTC.BSD and LCA system malfunction: Transmit the DTC.Radar overheated: System condition - Overheating message is displayed.
