Function Description
- The Back-up Collision Intervention system can help alert the driver of approaching vehicles or rear objects when the driver is backing out of a parking space.
- The BCI system comprise of to main detection systems. The side radar LH/RH, and the four sonar sensors mounted on the rear bumper.
- The BCI system operates at speeds below 8 km/h (5 MPH) whenever the vehicle is in reverse.
- The BCI system uses the side radar LH/RH installed near the rear bumper to detect approaching vehicles and rear obstacles.
- The side radar can detect vehicles on either side of vehicle within the detection zone shown as illustrated.
- The radar sensors detect the approaching vehicle from up to approximately 15 m (49 ft) away.
- The sonar sensors can detect rear obstacles of up to approximately 1.5 m (4.9 ft).
- If the radar detects a vehicle approaching from the side or the sonar detects close objects in the rear, the system gives visual and audible warnings, and applies the brake for a moment when the vehicle is moving backwards. If the driver's foot is on the accelerator pedal, the system pushes the accelerator upward before applying the brake. If the driver continues to press the accelerator, the system will not engage the brake.
- If the side radar detects an approaching vehicle from the side, the BCI system sounds a beep (single beep), the Blind spot warning indicator on the side of the approaching vehicle flashes and the frame of the around view monitor screen is shown in yellow. If the detected vehicle approaches closer and own vehicle is backing up toward the detected vehicle, the system sounds a beep (three times) and the frame of the around view monitor screen is shown in red.
