3 km/h), to objects moving 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.
When RCP is on and the vehicle is in REVERSE,
the driver is alerted using both the visual and
audible alarms, including reducing the radio
volume.
WARNING!
RCP is not a Back Up Aid system. 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.

Modes Of Operation

Three selectable modes of operation are avail-
able in the Electronic Vehicle Information Cen-
ter (EVIC). Refer to "Electronic Vehicle Informa-
tion Center (EVIC)/Personal
(Customer-Programmable Features)" in "Un-
derstanding Your Instrument Panel" for further
information.
Blind Spot Alert
When operating in Blind Spot Alert mode, the
BSM system will provide a visual alert in the
appropriate side view mirror based on a de-
tected object. However, when the system is
operating in RCP, the system will respond with
both visual and audible alerts when a detected
object is present. Whenever an audible alert is
requested, the radio volume is reduced.
Blind Spot Alert Lights/Chime
When operating in Blind Spot Alert Lights/
Chime, 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
audio alerts will be issued. In addition to the
audible alert the radio (if on) volume will be
reduced.
Settings
NOTE:
• Whenever an audible alert is requested by
the BSM system, the radio volume is re-
duced.
• If the Hazard Flashers are on, the system
will request the appropriate visual alert
only.
