Blind Spot Modes
Blind Spot Alert has three selectable modes of
operation that are available in the Uconnect
system.
For further information, see Ú page 247.
Blind Spot Alert Lights Only
When operating in Blind Spot Alert Lights Only
mode, the BSM system will provide a visual alert in
the appropriate side view mirror based on a
detected object. However, when the system is
operating in Rear Cross Path (RCP) mode, the
system will respond with both visual and audible
alerts when a detected object is present.
Whenever an audible alert is requested, the radio
is muted.
Blind Spot Alert Lights/Chime
When operating in Blind Spot Alert Lights/Chime
mode, the BSM system will provide a visual alert in
the appropriate side view mirror based on a
detected 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. Whenever a turn signal and detected
object are present on the same side at the same
time, both the visual and audible alerts will be
issued. In addition to the audible alert the radio
(if on) will also be muted.
NOTE:
Whenever an audible alert is requested by the
BSM system, the radio is also muted.
When the system is in RCP, the system shall
respond with both visual and audible alerts when a
detected object is present. Whenever an audible
alert is requested, the radio is also muted. Turn/
hazard signal status is ignored; the RCP state
always requests the chime.
Blind Spot Alert Off
When the BSM system is turned off there will be no
visual or audible alerts from either the BSM or
RCP systems.
NOTE:
The BSM 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.
Trailer Merge Assist
NOTE:
When Trailer Merge Assist is activated, Rear Cross
Path is disabled.
NOTE:
When a trailer with an electric brake is connected
to the vehicle, the instrument cluster display will
provide a menu to allow a selection of the trailer
type. There will be two options provided: Conven-
tional and Goose/Fifth Wheel. Goose/Fifth Wheel
Trailer is incompatible and when selected, the
BSM system will disable until the trailer is discon-
nected. If the wrong option is selected, the system
can be reset by either disconnecting and recon-
necting the trailer harness connector or disabling
then re-enabling the Blind Spot Monitoring system
in the customer settings in the Uconnect system.
This will prompt the trailer selection menu again to
allow for the correct selection.
Trailer Merge Assist is a function of the Blind Spot
Monitoring (BSM) system that extends the blind
spot zone to work while pulling a trailer. Trailer
Merge Assist consists of three sub functions:
