The BSM system can also be configured to sound
an audible (chime) alert and mute the radio to
notify you of objects that have entered the detec-
tion zones.
Rear Cross Path (RCP)
The Rear Cross Path (RCP) feature is intended to
aid the driver when backing out of parking spaces
where their vision of oncoming vehicles may be
blocked. Proceed slowly and cautiously out of the
parking space until the rear end of the vehicle is
exposed. The RCP system will then have a clear
view of the cross traffic and if an oncoming vehicle is
detected, alert the driver.
RCP monitors the rear detection zones on both
sides 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 approximately 20 mph
(32 km/h), such as in parking lot situations.
NOTE:
In a parking lot situation, oncoming vehicles can be
obscured 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. Addi-
tionally, if the host vehicle is obscured by a flat
object on one side the system can false alert on
vehicles approaching from the opposite direction.
When RCP is on and the vehicle is in REVERSE,
the driver is alerted using both the visual and au-
dible 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

ing 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 be-
fore backing up. Failure to do so can result in
serious injury or death.

Blind Spot Alert Lights Only — Default Setting
When operating in Blind Spot Alert mode, the BSM
system will provide a visual alert in the appropriate
side view mirror based on a detected object. How-
ever, when the system is operating in Rear Cross
Path (RCP) mode, the system will respond with
both visual and audible alerts when a detected ob-
ject is present. Whenever an audible alert is re-
quested, the radio is muted.
