The BCW (Blind-Spot Collision Warning) system warns the driver while driving using a radar sensor. The sensor detects the area beside and behind the vehicle and provides the driver with corresponding information.

1. Blind-Spot Collision Warning (BCW) The warning zone depends on vehicle speed. If the speed of your vehicle is at least 10 km/h higher than that of adjacent vehicles, the warning does not operate.

2. Fahrspurwechselassistent (LCA) Wenn das Fahrzeug sich Ihrem Fahrzeug mit hoher Geschwindigkeit nähert, wird eine Warnung ausgegeben.

3. Rear Cross-Traffic Collision Warning (RCCW) When your vehicle is in reverse, the sensor detects vehicles approaching from the left or right behind your vehicle and issues a warning.

WARNING

  • Always check road conditions when driving, as situations may occur even when the Blind-Spot Collision Warning (BCW) is active.
  • Das BCW-System (Totwinkel-Erkennungssystem) ist eine Komfortfunktion. Verlassen Sie sich nicht ausschließlich auf das System, Sondern achten Sie immer auf eine sichere Fahrweise.
