Kia Sportage: Driving your vehicle / Blind spot detection system (BSD)

The Blind Spot Detection System (BSD) uses a radar sensor to alert the driver.

It senses toward the rear sides of the vehicle and provides and early warning to the driver.

(1) BSD (Blind Spot Detection)

The warning range depends on your vehicle speed. However, if your vehicle is about 6 mph (10 km/h) faster than the other vehicle, the system will not warn you.

(2) LCA (Lane Change Assist)

When a vehicle approaches you at high speed, the system will warn you.

(3) RCTA (Rear Cross Traffic Alert)

When your vehicle moves rearward, and the sensor detects an approaching vehicle in the left or right side, the system will warn you.
