adjacent lanes.

WARNING!
• The BSA system is only an aid to
help detect vehicles in the blind spot
zones.
• The BSA system is not designed to
238
detect pedestrians, bicyclists, or
animals.
• Even if your vehicle is equipped with
the BSA system, always check your
vehicle's outside and rear-view
mirrors for any vehicles approaching
from behind or overtaking.
• Use your turn signal before changing
lanes.
Failure to follow these precautions can
result in serious injury or death.
RCP - Rear Cross Path (if
equipped)
The Rear Cross Path (RCP) feature is
intended to aid the drivers when
backing out of parking spaces where
their vision of oncoming vehicles may
be blocked.
The RCP system monitors the rear
detection zones on both sides of the
vehicle. Using sensors located on either
side of the rear bumper, it detects any
vehicles or objects that are moving
toward the side of the vehicle with a
minimum speed of approximately 1 to
2 mph (1 km/h to 3 km/h) to a
maximum of approximately 10 mph
(16 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.
Proceed slowly and cautiously out of
the parking space until the rear end of
the vehicle is moderately exposed.
The RCP system will then have a clear
view of the cross traffic. If an
oncoming vehicle is detected, the RCP
system will alert the driver using both
the visual and audible alarms. If the
radio is on, it will also reduce the radio
volume.
WARNING!
RCP is not a Back Up Aid system. More
