clear view of the cross traffic and if an
oncoming vehicle is detected, alert the
driver.
RCP monitors the rear detection zones on
both side
s of the vehicle, for objects that are
moving toward the side of the vehicle with a
minimum speed of approximately 3
mph
(5 km/h),
to objects moving a maximum of
approxima
tely 20 mph (32 km/h), such as in
parking l
ot situations.
NOTE:
In a parking lot situation, oncoming vehicles
c
an be ob
scured by vehicles parked on either
side. If the sensors are blocked by other
structures 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.
Modes Of Operation
Three selectable modes of operation are
available in the Uconnect System.
Refer to “Uconnect Settings” in “Multi-
media” in the Owner’s Manual for further
i
nformati
on.
Blind Spot Alert Lights Only
When operating in Blind Spot Alert mode,
t
he BSM s
ystem will provide a visual alert in
the appropriate side view mirror based on a
detected object. However, when the system
is operating in Rear Cross Path (RCP) mode,
the system will respond with both visual and
audible alerts when a detected object is
present. Whenever an audible alert is
requested, the radio is muted.
Blind Spot Alert Lights/Chime
When operating in Blind Spot Alert Lights/
Chime mod
e, 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 activated, 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 audible alerts will
be issued. In addition to the audible alert the
radio (if on) will also be muted.
NOTE:
Whenever an audible alert is requested by
t
he BSM s
ystem, the radio is also muted.
When the system is in RCP, the system shall
respond w
ith both visual and audible alerts
when a detected object is present. Whenever
an audible alert is requested, the radio is
also muted. Turn/hazard signal status is
ignored; the RCP state always requests the
chime.
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 vehicle, look behind you, and
be sure to check for pedestrians, animals,
other vehicles, obstructions, and blind
spots before backing up. Failure to do so
can result in serious injury or death.
