Driver Assistance Systems
WARNING!
Rear Cross (RCP) is not a Back Up
Aid system. More specifically, 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.
BSA and RCP Setting
Setting modes can be selected from the
MIA system.
Touch "Settings" soft-key on "Vehicle"
page and then select "Blind Spot Assist"
6
soft-key to enter the setting page.
Refer to chapter "Functions of Controls
Menu on MIA" in section "Dashboard
Instruments and Controls" for further
information.
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
230
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).
NOTE:
If the hazard flashers are on, the BSA
system will issue the appropriate visual
alert only.
When the system is in RCP mode, the
system shall respond with both visual
and audible alerts when a detected
vehicle or object is present. Whenever an
audible alert is requested, the radio (if
on) is also muted.
Right/left turn/hazard signal status is
ignored; the RCP status always requests
the chime when needed.
Blind Spot Assist Off
When this function is turned off from the
MIA, there will be no visual or audible
alerts from either the BSA or RCP
subsystems.
NOTE:
The BSA 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.
System in Faulty
The BSA system cannot properly operate
due to a fault of its components, or
because the area on the rear bumper
fascia where the radar sensors are
located is dirty. In these cases the
related message will be displayed on the
instrument cluster.
