A: Collision warning!

With the vehicle detection state, Collision warning will alert the driver when the turn signal is activated to make a lane change with an adjacent car in the blind spot area.

• Collision warning will alert the driver with the warning light on the outside rear view mirrors (side view mirrors) and head-up display (if equipped), audible warning and steering wheel vibration.
• When the turn signal is turned off or you move away from the lane, the collision warning will be canceled and the function will return to Vehicle detection state.

CAUTION

If Warning only is selected from the Settings menu, the collision warning will operate when your vehicle approaches the lane the blind spot vehicle is detected.

WARNING

• The detecting range of the front corner radar or rear corner radar is determined by a standard road width, therefore, on a narrow road, Blind- Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist may detect other vehicles two lanes over and warn you. In contrast, on a wide road, Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist may not be able to detect a vehicle driving in the next lane and may not warn you.
• When the hazard warning flasher is on, the collision warning by the turn signal will not operate.

NOTICE

• If the driver's seat is on the left side, the collision warning may occur when you turn left. If the driver's seat is on the right side, the collision warning may occur when you turn right.

  Maintain a proper distance with the vehicles in the lane.

• Images or colors may be displayed differently depends on the instrument cluster specifications or theme.
