Discover ADAS^* Blind-Spot Technologies

Kia’s ADAS^* Blind-Spot Technologies include two features designed to detect vehicles in driver’s blind spots and can help prevent collisions in certain conditions. Blind-Spot Collision Warning^* (BCW) is designed to alert the driver of a possible collision with both a flashing icon in the side mirror and an auditory alert. If the system detects a risk of collision when changing lanes or driving forward out of a parking space, Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist^* (BCA) is designed to apply the brakes to help avoid a collision.

Let’s take a closer look at how these features and their additional technologies work.

• Blind-Spot Collision Warning^* (BCW) (A)
  Capable of detecting, under certain conditions, vehicles approaching from behind in the next lane. When a vehicle is detected in the blind spot, an icon flashes in the outside rear-view mirror and if the turn signal is on, can issue an auditory alert to warn the driver.
• Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist^* (BCA) (B)
  Builds on BCW^* and is designed to help avoid a collision by actively moving the vehicle away from the adjacent vehicle and returning the vehicle to its lane under certain conditions.
• Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist-Parallel Exit^* (BCA-PE) (C)
  Builds on BCW^* and is designed to apply emergency braking when a driver tries to exit from a parallel parking spot and the vehicle detects oncoming traffic from behind.

NOTE: Customers can adjust the blind-spot feature settings (if equipped) within the vehicle settings in the infotainment system or the cluster

• If equipped with volume setting capability, the warning volumes for blind-spot features may also be adjusted.

Watch the Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist^* (BCA) and the Blind-Spot View Monitor^* (BVM) videos to learn more so you can explain the blind-spot technologies to your customers during Delivery or at the Service Drive. You can watch these videos at any time and can even share them with customers!
