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.

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.
