OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE
RCP is not a back up aid system. It is intended to be used to help a driver detect an
oncoming vehicle in a parking lot situation. Drivers must be careful when backing 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
before backing up. Failure to do so can result in serious injury or death.
Mode Of Operation
Three selectable modes of operation are available in the Uconnect System. Refer to
"Uconnect Settings" in "Multimedia" in your Owner' s Manual on
www.fiatusa.com/en/owners/manuals for further information.
Blind Spot Alert Lights Only
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 (RCP) mode, the system will respond with both visual
and audible alerts when a detected object is present. Whenever an audible alert is re-
quested, 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 is-
sued. 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, the radio is also muted.
When the system is in RCP, 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
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 audible alerts from either
the BSM or RCP systems.
NOTE:
The BSM system will store the current operating mode when the vehicle is shut off. Each
time the vehicle is started the previously stored mode will be recalled and used.
