(BSD) uses a radar sensor to alert
the driver.
It senses toward the rear sides of the
vehicle and provides and early warn-
ing to the driver.

The warning range depends on
your vehicle speed. However, if
your vehicle is about 10 km/h (6
mph) faster than the other vehi-
cle, the system will not warn you.
(2) LCA (Lane Change Assist)
When a vehicle approaches you at
high speed, the system will warn
you. The driver may notice differ-
ent warning distances depending
on other vehicle’s speed.
(3) RCTA (Rear Cross Traffic Alert)
When your vehicle moves rear-
ward, and the sensor detects an
approaching vehicle in the left or
right side, the system will warn
you. The driver may notice differ-
ent warning distances depending
on other vehicle’s speed.
