The Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist (BCA) system is designed to detect vehicles approaching in your blind spots and alert you to potential hazards using both visual and audible warnings. If the system calculates a high risk of collision during an intended lane change, the Kia K4 can provide supplemental braking assistance to help you avoid an accident.

Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist is engineered to continuously monitor for vehicles entering your blind spots or approaching rapidly from the rear-quarter area, keeping you informed of your surroundings while driving the Kia K4.

When you are maneuvering the Kia K4 out of a parking space, the Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist system monitors for approaching traffic. If it detects a collision risk with an vehicle entering your path from the blind spot, it can automatically apply the brakes to help prevent or mitigate a collision.

CAUTION

  • Detection ranges are dynamic and vary based on your Kia K4 travel speed. The BCA system may not provide a warning if you pass other vehicles at significantly higher speeds.

  • Warning timing may fluctuate depending on the closing speed of vehicles approaching from behind.

  • Any replacement or repair of the sensors must be performed by an authorized Kia dealer to ensure proper calibration for the Kia K4.

  • Repainting or modifying the bumper where the rear corner radar sensors are located can compromise system functionality. Always use Kia Genuine Parts to ensure the performance of your Kia K4 safety systems.

  • Do not install items like license plate frames, stickers, films, or guards over the rear corner radar sensors.

  • If the rear bumper is replaced or painted, the BCA system may not perform correctly.
