Blind Spot Detection System
Even if it’s just you driving, there’s always another set of eyes along with you thanks to the Blind Spot Detection system on the Sportage. This available tech populates an alert on your outside mirror when a vehicle drifts into your blind spot, with an added audible alert if needed.
