Rcp (Rear Cross Path Detection) System; Rear View; Overtaking Vehicles; Blind Spot Alert Function Deactivation - Jeep Renegade Owner's Handbook Manual

from the opposite direction, in the
adjacent lanes.
If a trailer is hitched to the vehicle, the
system automatically deactivates.
The rear bumper area where the radar
sensors are located must stay free from
snow, ice and dirt gathered from the
road surface for the system to operate
correctly.
Do not cover the rear bumper area
where the radar sensors are located
with any object (e.g. adhesives, bike
rack, etc.).
If a tow hook has to be installed after
purchasing the vehicle, the system
must be deactivated from the display
Menu or through the Uconnect™
system.
Rear view: the system detects vehicles
approaching to the rear part of your
vehicle on both sides and entering the
rear detection area with a speed delta
lower than 50 km/h with respect to your
vehicle.
Overtaking vehicles: if another vehicle
is overtaken slowly (with a speed delta
lower than about 25 km/h) and this
stays in the blind spot for about 1.5
seconds, the warning light on the door
mirror of the corresponding side lights
up. If the difference in speed between
76
the two vehicles is greater than about
25 km/h, the warning light does not
light up.
RCP (Rear Cross Path detection)
system
This system helps the driver during
reverse manoeuvres in the case of
reduced visibility. During "RCP"
operating mode, the system emits
acoustic and visual warnings if the
presence of an object is detected.
When an acoustic warning is sent, the
Uconnect™ volume is lowered.
The system can be activated/
deactivated through the display Menu
or the Uconnect™ system.
The system monitors the rear detection
areas on both sides of the vehicle, to
detect objects moving towards the
sides of the vehicle at a minimum
speed comprised between about
1 km/h and 3 km/h and objects moving
at a maximum speed of 35 km/h, as
generally happens in the parking areas.
The system activation is signalled to the
driver by means of a visual and acoustic
warning.
If the sensors are covered by objects or
vehicles, the system will not warn the
driver.
"Blind spot alert", "Visual" mode:
when this mode is active, the BSM
system sends a visual warning to the
relevant door mirror, according to the
detected object. When operating in
RCP mode, the system sends visual
and acoustic warnings when the
presence of an approaching object is
detected. When an acoustic warning is
sent, the Uconnect™ volume is
lowered.
"Blind spot alert", "Visual &
acoustic" mode: when this mode is
active, the BSM system sends a visual
warning to the relevant door mirror,
according to the detected object. If the
direction indicator on the side where an
obstacle has been detected is
activated, an acoustic warning is
emitted as well. When the acoustic
warning is emitted, the Uconnect™
volume is lowered.
"Blind spot alert" function
deactivation: when the system is
deactivated ("Blind spot alert" mode at
"OFF"), the BSM or RCP systems will
not emit neither acoustic nor visual
warnings. The BSM system will store
the operating mode running when the
engine was switched off: each time the
engine is started, the operating mode
stored previously will be recalled and
used.
