The BSM warning light, located in the outside mirrors, will illuminate if a vehicle moves into a
blind spot zone.
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 detection zones.
Rear Cross Path (RCP)
The Rear Cross Path (RCP) feature is intended
to aid the driver when backing out of parking
spaces where the 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, will 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.
Refer to “Blind Spot Monitoring” in “Understanding The Features Of Your Vehicle” in the
Owner's Manual on the DVD for more information.
Modes Of Operation
Three selectable modes of operation are available in the Uconnect System. Refer to “Uconnect
Settings/Customer Programmable Features” in “Understanding Your Instrument Panel” in the
Owner’s Manual on the DVD for further information.
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. However, when the system is operating
in Rear Cross Path 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 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
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 audio alerts will be issued. In addition to the audible alert the radio
(if on) volume will be reduced.
