Mode Of Operation
Three selectable modes of operation are available in the Uconnect System
.
Refer to
“Uconnect Settings” in “Multimedia” in your Owner’s Manual on the DVD for further
information
.
Blind Spot Alert Lights Only
When operating in Blind Spot Alert 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 re-
quested, 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 is-
sued
.
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 will 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
.
Blind Spot Monitoring Fault Warnings
Sensor Blinded
In the case of a sensor blinded:
•
BSM Mirror Warning Lights are turned on continuously
.
•
A instrument cluster message will display
“Blind Spot Monitoring Unavailable - Wipe
Rear Bumper Corners.”
NOTE:
The rear bumper must be clean and free of any obstructing debris
