Blind-Spot Collision Warning (BCW)*†6
The BCW system uses radar sensors to help alert the driver if it detects an
approaching vehicle in the driver’s blind spot area before changing lanes in
certain situations . 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 18 mph
and will alert the driver if another vehicle is detected by the radar sensor 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 System
boundary B, or when a vehicle detected with the LCA 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 .
Rear Cross-Traffic Collision Warning (RCCW)*
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, when these conditions are met:
•The gear shift is in Reverse
•The vehicle is moving less than 6 mph
•The vehicle moves in reverse from a parked position
REMINDERS:
•The RCCW can be set to on/off in User Settings from the LCD Instrument Cluster modes
•When the BCW is ON and the vehicle power is cycled to OFF then ON again, the BSD system returns to ON
•When vehicle power is cycled, the RCCW will remain in the previous state
•
The RCCW system will show a warning if the approaching vehicle speed is between 2 .5 - 22 mph within sensing range . See owner’s manual for other conditions .
•The BCW and RCCW systems are supplemental systems . Do not solely rely on these systems and always pay attention to drive safely .
For more information on the above systems, please refer to the Owner’s Manual.

button E to turn system ON . The instrument cluster indicator will
initially illuminate white . It will remain white when vehicle is traveling
less than 40 mph and the system does not detect the lane markers .

depressed to ON . To switch between modes (Standard LK A, Active LK A
and Lane Departure), go to User Settings in the Instrument Cluster .
All systems will operate under the following conditions:
• The vehicle exceeds approximately 40 mph
• The LK A system recognizes the lane the vehicle is traveling in .
• The vehicle is between the lane markers
REMINDERS:
•LK A will not issue a warning if the turn signals or hazard lights are activated .
•When ignition is cycled, the LK A will return to the previuosly set state
REMINDERS:
•
The FCA-Ped will be activated by default when vehicle power is cycled on, even when previously set to off
•
The FCA-Ped will not operate when the vehicle is traveling more than approximately 50 mph
•
If the FCA-Ped is operating and the ESC (Electronic Stability Control) is turned off, the FCA-Ped system is automatically turned off .
•
When FCA-Ped system is off, the FCA-Ped warning indicator is on in the Instrument Cluster .
The Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist-Pedestrian (FCA-Ped) / Forward Collision Warning (FCW)* are not substitutes for safe and proper driving. Always drive safely and use caution. FCA-Ped / FCW may not always alert the driver when the vehicle is approaching another vehicle.
The Lane Keeping Assist (LKA) is not a substitute for safe and proper driving. Always drive safely and use caution. LKA may not always alert the driver if the vehicle is driven outside of its lane.
When the LK A sensor detects the lane traveling in, the lane is illuminated
When the LK A sensor does not detect the lane traveling in the lanes is not illuminated

The FCA-Ped is designed to help alert the driver,
and under certain conditions if necessary, apply
emergency braking, when rapidly approaching a
vehicle that is slowing down, braking or stopped .
Initially, the FCA-Ped provides Forward Collision
Warning (FCW) when it detects a potential collision
with a vehicle in front emitting an audible warning
and visual alert on the instrument cluster . Adjust
the alert settings (Early, Normal, Late) in the User
Settings . To turn the FCA-Ped/FCW off, go to User
Settings again and turn off .
If the system detects that the collision risk
increases, the Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist-
Pedestrian (FCA-Ped) automatically applies the brakes to reduce your speed,
helping to minimize the effects of a possible collision . FCA-Ped can be turned ON in
the User Settings menu on the Instrument Cluster display .
The FCA-Ped/FCW will become active when the:
• Engine Start /Stop button is ON
• Vehicle is traveling more than 5 mph
• Electronic Stability Control (ESC) is ON
