If the sensor can not detect the lane or if the vehicle speed does not
exceed 60km/h, the LDWS won't
warn you even though the vehicle
leaves the lane.
If your vehicle has window tint or other types of coating on the front
windshield, the LDWS may not
work properly.
Do not let water or any kind of liq- uid come in contact with the LDWS
sensor.
Do not remove the LDWS parts and do not affect the sensor by a strongimpact.

The Blind Spot Detection System (BSD)
uses radar sensors in the rear bumper to
monitor and warn the driver of an
approaching vehicle in the driver's blindspot area. The system monitors the rear area of the
vehicle and provides information to the
driver with an audible alert and a indica-
tor on the outside rearview mirrors. ➀
BSD (Blind Spot Detection)
The blind spot detection range varies
relative to vehicle speed. Note that if
your vehicle is traveling much faster
than the vehicles around you, the
warning will not occur.
➁ LCA (Lane Change Assist)
The Lane Change Assist feature will
alert you when a vehicle is approach-
ing in an adjacent lane at a high rate of
speed. If the driver activates the turnsignal when the system detects an
oncoming vehicle, the system sounds
an audible alert. The time of alert
varies according to the speed differ-
ence between you and the approach-
ing vehicle.
➂ RCTA (Rear Cross Traffic Alert)
The Rear Cross Traffic Alert feature
monitors approaching cross traffic from
the left and right side of the vehicle
when your vehicle is in reverse. The
feature will operate when the vehicle is
moving in reverse below about 10 km/h
(6 mph). If oncoming cross traffic is
detected a warning chime will sound.
The time of alert varies according to
the speed difference between you and
the approaching vehicle.

 The system may not work properly when the bumper has been damaged,
or if the rear bumper has been
replaced or repaired.
 The sensing range differs somewhat
according to the width of the road.

may detect other vehicles in the next
lane Or when the road is wide, the sys-
tem may not detect other vehicles in
the next lane.
 The system may turn off due to strong electromagnetic waves.
Warning message

Drive safely even though the vehi- cle is equipped with a Blind SpotDetection System (BSD) and Rear
Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA). Do not
solely rely on the system but check
your surrounding before changing
lanes or backing the vehicle up.
