Blind Spot Information System

*

When the system detects vehicles approaching from behind in adjacent lanes, the 
appropriate indicator comes on, providing assistance when you change lanes.

The system activates when your vehicle is moving forward at about 20 mph (32 km/h) 
or above.

Alert zone range
A: Approx. 1.6 ~ 10 feet (0.5 ~ 3 meters) from vehicle side.
B: Approx. 10 feet (3 meters) from rear bumper.
C: Approx. 10 ~ 82 feet (3 ~ 25 meters) behind from rear bumper. (The faster the 
approaching vehicle, the further away it will be detected.)

The initially set alert zone is alert zone 1. Over time, after the vehicle has been driven 
on straight roads with traffic and roadside objects, the system will adapt and expand 
the alert zone (alert zone 1 and 2).

Important Safety Reminder

Like all assistance systems, the blind spot information 
system has limitations. Always look in your mirrors, to 
either side of your vehicle, and behind you for other 
vehicles before changing lanes. Overreliance on the 
blind spot information system may result in a 
collision.

Have your vehicle checked by a dealer in the 
following situations:

•

The rear bumper or area around the radar sensors 
is strongly impacted.

•

The indicator does not come on even if a vehicle in 
the alert zone should have been detected.

•

The rear bumper or any system components need 
to be repaired.

If the rear bumper or any system components are 
repaired, the system will revert to alert zone 1 only 
until it is able to adapt and expand to alert zone 1 
and 2.
