18NIRO EV FEATURES & FUNCTIONS GUIDE*IF EQUIPPED †LEGAL DISCL AIMERS ON BACK INSIDE COVER
Blind-Spot Collision Warning (BCW)*†7
The BCW system uses radar sensors to help alert the driver if it detects an
approaching vehicle in the driver’s blind spot before changing lanes . The light
on the BCW button A will illuminate when turned ON . The outside rearview
mirror warning lights will also illuminate for 3 seconds .
The system will become active when the vehicle is traveling more than
approximately 18 mph and will alert the driver if another vehicle is detected
by the radar sensor .
1st-stage alert: When another vehicle is detected within the BCW boundary B,
or when a vehicle is detected within the LCA boundary C, 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 .
Rear Cross-Traffic Collision Warning (RCCW)*†7
If the RCCW system sensors detect approaching vehicles from the left or right side D,
the system will sound an audible alert, the warning indicators on the outside rearview
mirror will illuminate, and a message will appear on the LCD screen, if the following
conditions are met:
•When Rotary Dial Shifter Knob is in Reverse
•When the vehicle is moving slower than 6 mph
•When the vehicle moves in reverse from a parked position
•If the approaching vehicle speed is between 2 .5-22 mph within sensing range
REMINDERS:
•
The BCW system will not show a warning if the vehicle speed is 6 mph or more than the surrounding vehicles
•If the BCW is turned ON/OFF and the ignition is cycled, the BCW system returns to ON/OFF
•The RCCW feature can be turned OFF/ON in User Settings
