Kia Picanto: Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist (BCA): (if equipped) / Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist operation

• The rear corner radar detection range is based on a standard road width. On a narrow road, Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist may detect vehicles two lanes away and issue a warning. On a wide road, it may not detect a vehicle in the next lane and may not warn you.

• The turn-signal collision warning is unavailable while the hazard warning flasher is on.

• Depending on which side of the vehicle the driver sits, the warning may be triggered when turning left in a left-hand-drive vehicle or turning right in a right-hand-drive vehicle.

  Leave an adequate distance from vehicles in adjacent lanes.

• Instrument cluster images and colours may vary according to the cluster specification or selected theme.

• For your safety, change system settings only after parking the Kia Picanto in a safe location.

• If another function displays a warning message or sounds an alert, the Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist message or audible warning may not be displayed or heard.

• Noise around the vehicle may make the system’s audible warning difficult to hear. Stay alert to your surroundings and keep the audio volume at a moderate level.

• Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist may not operate if you press the brake pedal to avoid a collision.

• While the system is providing braking assistance, its control may be cancelled if you press the accelerator pedal excessively or steer sharply.

• The Kia Picanto may stop suddenly while Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist is operating, which could injure occupants or cause unsecured items to move. Wear your seat belt and secure loose objects.

• If Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist has a fault, the vehicle’s basic braking system will continue to operate.

• The system cannot prevent collisions in every situation, even when it operates.

• Depending on road and driving conditions, the system may warn you late or may not issue a warning.

• The driver remains responsible for controlling the vehicle. Do not rely solely on Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist; check the surrounding area directly and drive safely.

• Never deliberately activate Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist near people, animals or objects. Doing so could cause serious injury or death.

Brake assistance may not work as intended depending on the status of ESC (Electronic Stability Control). The system provides a warning only in the following circumstances:

• The ESC warning light is illuminated.

• ESC is controlling the vehicle through another function.
