214 SAFETY
Modes Of Operation
Three selectable modes of operation are available in the
Ucon
nect System. Refer to “Uconnect Settings” in “Multi-
media” for further information.
Blind Spot Alert Lights Only
When operating in Blind Spot Alert mode, the BSM system
wi
ll
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 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 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 BSM system,
t
he
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 visual or
audi
ble alerts from either the BSM or RCP systems.
NOTE:
The BSM system will store the current operating mode when
t
he
vehicle is shut off. Each time the vehicle is started the
previously stored mode will be recalled and used.
