SAFETY FEATURES

Blind Spot Monitoring — If
Equipped
The Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) system uses
two radar-based sensors, located inside the rear
bumper fascia, to detect highway licensable
vehicles (automobiles, trucks, motorcycles,
etc.) that enter the blind spot zones from the
rear/front/side of the vehicle.
The BSM warning light, located in the outside
mirrors, will illuminate if a vehicle moves into a
blind spot zone.
BSM Warning Light
Rear Cross Path
The Rear Cross Path (RCP) feature is intended
to aid the driver when backing out of parking
spaces where their vision of oncoming vehicles
may be blocked. Proceed slowly and cautiously
out of the parking space until the rear end of the
vehicle is exposed. The RCP system will then
have a clear view of the cross traffic and if an
oncoming vehicle is detected, alert the driver.
Modes Of Operation
Three selectable modes of operation are avail-
able through the Uconnect System.

ings and cautions, please refer to the Owner's

Forward Collision Warning With
Mitigation — If Equipped
The Forward Collision Warning (FCW) system
provides the driver with active braking, audible
and visual warnings [within the instrument
cluster display] and may apply a brake jerk to
warn the driver when it detects a potential
frontal collision. The warnings and limited
braking are intended to provide the driver with
enough time to react and avoid or mitigate the
potential collision.
FCW monitors the information from the
forward-looking sensor, as well as the Elec-
tronic Brake Controller (EBC) to calculate a
probable collision. When the system deter-

or
mines that a collision is probable, a warning
message (both audible and visual) will be dis-
played within the cluster display along with a
brake jerk warning (previously enabled in the
Uconnect Settings). When the system senses
the driver applying the brakes to avoid a prob-
able collision, additional brake force will be
