Modes Of Operation - Jeep Cherokee 2014 Owner's Manual

RCP monitors the rear detection zones on both
sides of the vehicle, for objects that are moving
toward the side of the vehicle with a minimum
speed of approximately 3 mph (5 km/h), to
objects moving a maximum of approximately
20 mph (32 km/h), such as in parking lot situa-
tions.
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 RE-
VERSE, 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

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 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
audio alerts will be issued. In addition to the
audible alert the radio (if on) will also be muted.
NOTE:
Features —
• Whenever an audible alert is requested by
the BSM system, the radio is also muted.
