Driving
WARNING!
RCP is not a Back Up Aid system. More
specifically, it is intended to be used
to help a driver detect an oncoming
5
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.
BSA and RCP Setting
Setting modes can be selected from
the MTC+ System.

BSA in Visual Mode
When operating in "Visual" mode,
the BSA system will provide a visual
alert in the appropriate side view
mirror when it detects a vehicle or
an object in the detection areas
monitored by its sensors: depending
on the status of the relative turn
indicator, the warning light can be
fixed or flashing. However, when the
system is operating in RCP mode, it will
respond with both visual and audible
alerts when an oncoming vehicle or an
object approaching the rear end side
of the vehicle is detected.
Whenever an audible alert is
requested, the radio is muted (if the
radio is on).
BSA in Visual and Acoustic Mode
When operating in "Visual & Acoustic"
mode, the BSA system will provide a
visual alert in the appropriate side
view mirror based on a detected
vehicle or 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: in the
same moment the warning light will
start flashing.
Whenever a turn signal and detected
vehicle or object are present on the
same side at the same time, both the
visual and audio alerts will be issued.
In addition to the audible alert, the
radio volume will be reduced (if the
radio is on).
