312 SAFETY
The BSM system is designed not to issue an
alert on stationary objects such as guardrails,
posts, walls, foliage, berms, etc. However,
occasionally the system may alert on such
objects. This is normal operation and your
vehicle does not require service.
The BSM system will not alert you of objects that
ar
e traveling in the opposite direction of the
vehicle in adjacent lanes
Ú page 466.
Opposing Traffic
Rear Cross Path (RCP)
The 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 Detection Zones
RCP monitors the rear detection zones on both
si
des 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
ob
jects moving a maximum of approximately
20
mph (32 km/h), such as in parking lot
si
tuations.
When RCP is on and the vehicle is in REVERSE,
th
e driver is alerted using both the visual and
audible alarms, including reducing the radio
volume.
WARNING!
The Blind Spot Monitoring system is only an
aid to help detect objects in the blind spot
zones. The BSM system is not designed to
detect pedestrians, bicyclists, or animals.
Even if your vehicle is equipped with the BSM
system, always check your vehicle’s mirrors,
glance over your shoulder, and use your turn
signal before changing lanes. Failure to do so
can result in serious injury or death.
