Hyundai Tucson: Blind-Spot Collision Warning (BCW) / Blind-Spot Collision Warning Operation

Vehicle detection

When a vehicle is detected in a blind spot, the warning light on the side view mirror illuminates.

• Blind-Spot Collision Warning operates when your vehicle speed is above 12 mph (20 km/h) and the speed of the vehicle in the blind spot area is above 7 mph (10 km/h).

Collision warning

Collision warning may operate when the turn signal is turned on in the direction of a detected vehicle.

• To warn you of a potential collision, the warning light on the side view mirror may blink and an audible warning may sound.
• When the turn signal is turned off or you move away from the vehicle in the blind spot, the function returns to vehicle detection state.

WARNING

• The detection range of the rear corner radar is determined by a standard road width. On narrow roads, the function may detect other vehicles in the next lane and warn you. On wide roads, the function 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 initiated by activating the turn signal may not operate.

WARNING

Blind-Spot Collision Warning may not operate in all situations.

To prevent serious injury or death:

• Only change the settings after parking your vehicle at a safe location.
• When other system’s warning message appears or audible warning is heard, Blind-Spot Collision Warning may not warn you.
• You may not hear the audible warning of Blind-Spot Collision Warning if the surrounding environment is too noisy.
• Control your vehicle at all times. Always maintain a safe distance from the vehicles ahead and adjust your vehicle speed depending on the road conditions.
• Never attempt to activate Blind-Spot Collision Warning by intentionally driving toward people, animals, objects, or other vehicles.
