WARNING
• The detecting 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 next next lane
and warn you. In contrast, on a wide
road, the system may not be able to
detect a vehicle driving in the next
lane and may not warn you.
• When the hazard warning light is
on, the collision warning by the turn
signal will not operate.
Information
If the driver's seat is on the left side, the
collision warning may occur when you
turn left. Maintain a proper distance with
the vehicles in the left lane. If the driver's
seat is on the right side, the collision
warning may occur when you turn right.
Maintain a proper distance with the
vehicles in the right lane.
WARNING
Take the following precautions when
using Blind-Spot Safety system:
• For your safety, change the Settings
after parking the vehicle at a safe
location.
• If any other system’s warning
message is displayed or audible
warning is generated, Blind-Spot
Safety system’s warning message
may not be displayed and audible
warning may not be generated.
• You may not hear the warning sound
of Blind-Spot Safety system if the
surrounding is noisy.
• Blind-Spot Safety system may warn
the driver late or may not warn the
driver depending on the road and
driving conditions.
• Driver should maintain control
