the BCW system boundary B, or when a vehicle is detected
within the boundary C approaches at a high speed, a yellow
indicator will illuminate on the outside rearview mirrors.
2nd-stage alert: When 1st-stage alert is on and the driver
activates a turn signal, a flashing yellow indicator will
illuminate on the outside rearview mirrors and the system
will sound an alert.
