SAFETY 283
Blind Spot Alert Lights Only
When operating in Blind Spot Alert mode, the BSM
sy
stem 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 the
BS
M system, the radio is also muted.
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 is also muted. 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
vi
sual or audible alerts from either the BSM or RCP
systems.
NOTE:
The BSM system will store the current operating
mod
e when the vehicle is shut off. Each time the
vehicle is started the previously stored mode will
be recalled and used.

NOTE:
When Trailer Merge Assist is activated, Rear Cross

This will prompt the trailer selection menu again to
allow for the correct selection.
