KIA Niro: Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist (BCA)

Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist is designed to help detect and monitor approaching vehicles in the driver's blind spot area and warn the driver of a possible collision with a warning message and audible warning.

In addition, if there is a risk of collision when changing lanes or driving forward out of a parking space, Blind-Spot Collision- Avoidance Assist can help avoid a collision assisting with applying the brake.

Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist helps detect and informs the driver that a vehicle is in the blind spot.
