Kia Blind-Spot Collision Warning (BCW) & Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist-Rear (BCA-R)

As Kia technology continues to evolve, so does Driver Assist technology, and today we are going to cover two specific features that may be found on your Kia.
The first is called Blind-Spot Collision Warning, the other is Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist - Rear. Remember that these systems are not available on all models and are not a substitute for safe driving.
On vehicles equipped with the Blind Spot Warning system -- a radar sensor is used to help alert the driver when vehicles are detected in the blind spots.:
To activate this system, press this button - while the engine is running, usually on the left side of the dashboard …
You will see an indicator light or a message in the instrument panel, confirming the system has been activated.
When conditions are satisfied -- and a vehicle is detected in the blind spot -- the warning light will illuminate first.
Then, if you activate a turn signal in the same direction, the warning light will start to flash, and the system will issue this audio warning:
And while we are discussing cameras and blind spots, let’s quickly cover the available Rear Cross Traffic Collision Warning system.
This system is only activated when the Driver Assistance User Setting menu option is checked, the vehicle is in reverse, and operating at speeds of less than ten miles per hour.
To activate through the User Settings, scroll and select Driver Assistance, then scroll to Rear Cross Traffic Collision Warning, and select the system to activate.
Using the same rear-facing sensors,
when backing out of a driveway or parking spots, depending on the road and traffic conditions, the sensors are designed to detect certain moving objects outside the driver’s field of vision.
If an object is detected, the system will sound and show warnings, and the mirror indicators will flash in the same direction in which the object was detected.
