Kia Stinger: Blind-spot Collision Warning (BCW) / RCCW (Rear Cross-Traffic Collision Warning)

When your vehicle moves backwards from a parking position, the sensor detects approaching vehicles to the left or right side direction and gives information to the driver.

Operating conditions

• Select RCCW (Rear Cross-Traffic Collision Warning) in “User Settings” under “Driver Assistance” on the instrument cluster. The system will turn on and standby to activate.
• Select RCCW again, to turn the system off. • If the vehicle is turned off, the RCCW system will remember the last settings upon restart.
• The system operates when the vehicle speed is below 10km/h (6 mph) with the shift lever in R (Reverse).
• The RCCW (Rear Cross-Traffic Collision Warning) detecting range is 0.5 m ~ 20 m (1.6 feet ~ 65 feet) based on the side direction. If the approaching vehicle speed is 4 km/h (2.5 mph) ~ 36 km/h (22 mph) within sensing range, it is detected. However, the system sensing range can vary based on conditions. Always pay attention to your surroundings.

Warning type

• If the vehicle detected by sensors approaches your vehicle, the warning chime will sound and the warning light will blink on the outside rearview mirror.
• If the detected vehicle is out of detection range, moving away in the opposite direction or moving slow, or if the vehicle is right behind your vehicle, if the direction of the other vehicle is not heading towards your vehicle, the warning is cancelled.
• The system may not operate properly due to other factors or circumstances. Always pay attention to your surroundings.

❈ If your vehicle's left or right side bumper is blinded by a barrier or vehicles, the system sensing abiliOCK057048 ty may be limited.
