Kia Soul: Driving your vehicle / Blind-Spot Collision Warning (BCW) system
Blind-Spot Collision Warning (BCW) system uses a radar sensor to alert the driver
while driving.
It senses the rear side territory of the vehicle and provides information to
the driver.
- Blind Spot Area
Warning range is dependent on your vehicle speed. However, if the speed of your
vehicle is faster by 10km/h or more than other nearby vehicles, the warning is not
operated.
- Closing at high speed
When vehicles are approaching to your vehicle at high speed, the warning is operated.
Distance from the approaching vehicle can be seen differently according to the
relative speed.
