260 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
are traveling in the opposite direction of the vehicle
in adjacent lanes Ú page 408.
Opposing Traffic
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.
Rear Cross Path (RCP)
RCP 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
sides of the vehicle, for objects that are moving
toward the side of the vehicle with a minimum
speed of approximately 5 mph (8 km/h), to objects
moving a maximum of approximately 20 mph
(32 km/h), such as in parking lot situations.
NOTE:
In a parking lot situation, oncoming vehicles can be
obscured by vehicles parked on either side. If the
sensors are blocked by other structures or
vehicles, the system will not be able to alert the
driver.
When RCP is on (Blind Spot Lights Only or Blind
Spot Lights/Chimes) and the vehicle is in
REVERSE, the driver is alerted using both the
visual and audible alarms, including reducing the
radio volume.
WARNING!
Rear Cross Path (RCP) Detection is not a back up
aid system. It is intended to be used to help a
driver detect a 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.
Blind Spot Modes
Three selectable modes of operation are available
in the Uconnect system Ú page 204.
