NOTE:
In a parking lot situation, oncoming vehicles
can be obscured by vehicles parked on either
side. If the sensors are blocked by other struc-
tures or vehicles, the system will not be able to
alert the driver.
When RCP is on and the vehicle is in REVERSE,
the driver is alerted using both the visual and
audible alarms, including reducing the radio
volume.
WARNING!
Rear Cross Path Detection (RCP) is not a
back up aid system. It is intended to be used
to help a driver detect an oncoming vehicle
in a parking lot situation. Drivers must be
careful when backing up, even when using
RCP. Always check carefully behind your ve-
hicle, look behind you, and be sure to check
for pedestrians, animals, other vehicles, ob-
structions, and blind spots before backing
up. Failure to do so can result in serious
injury or death.
Modes Of Operation
Modes Of Operation With Instrument Cluster Display
Three selectable modes of operation are avail-
able in the instrument cluster display. Refer to
“Instrument Cluster Display” in “Getting To
Know Y our Instrument Panel” in your Owner’ s
Manual for further information.
Blind Spot Alert Lights Only
When operating in Blind Spot Alert mode, the
BSM system will provide a visual alert in the
appropriate side view mirror based on a de-
tected object. However , when the system is
operating in RCP, the system will respond with
both visual and audible alerts when a detected
object is present. Whenever an audible alert is
requested, the radio volume is reduced.
Blind Spot Alert Lights/Chime
When operating in Blind Spot Alert Lights/Chime
mode, the BSM system will provide a visual alert
in the appropriate side view mirror based on a
detected object. If the turn signal is then acti-
vated, and it corresponds to an alert present on
that side of the vehicle, an audible chime will also
be sounded. Whenever a turn signal and detected
object are present on the same side at the same
time, both the visual and audio alerts will be
issued. In addition to the audible alert the radio (if
on) volume will be reduced.
NOTE:
• Whenever an audible alert is requested by the
BSM system, the radio volume is reduced.
• If the hazard flashers are on, the system will
request the appropriate visual alert only.
When the system is in RCP, the system shall
respond with both visual and audible alerts
when a detected object is present. Whenever an
audible alert is requested, the radio volume is
reduced. Turn/hazard signal status is ignored;
the RCP state always requests the chime.
Blind Spot Alert Off
When the BSM system is turned off there will be
no visual or audible alerts from either the BSM
or RCP systems.
NOTE:
The BSM system will store the current operating
mode when the vehicle is shut off. Each time
the vehicle is started the previously stored mode
will be recalled and used.
