Kia Sorento: Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist (BCA): (if equipped)

Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist can detect approaching vehicles in your blind spots and warn you of a possible collision using a warning light and an audible warning sound. If there is a collision risk when changing lanes, Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist may assist with braking your vehicle to help you avoid a collision.

Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist can help detect and inform you of a vehicle that is in your blind spot or approaching at a high speed from your blind spot area.

When you are pulling out of a parking space, if Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist determines that there is a collision risk with an approaching vehicle in your blind spot, it can help you avoid a collision by applying the brakes.

CAUTION

• The detecting range may vary depending on the speed of your vehicle. Even if there is a vehicle in the blind spot area, Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist may not warn you when you pass other vehicles by at high speeds.

• The timing of the warning may vary if a vehicle is approaching at a high speed.
