SAFETY

blind spot for about 1.5 seconds, the
warning light on the door mirror of the
corresponding side lights up.
If the difference in speed between the
two vehicles is greater than about
25 km/h, the warning light does not
light up.
RCP (Rear Cross Path detection)
system
This system helps the driver during
reverse manoeuvres in the case of
reduced visibility.
The RCP system monitors the rear
detection areas on both sides of the
vehicle, to detect objects moving
towards the sides of the vehicle at a
minimum speed between about 1 km/h
and 3 km/h and objects moving at
a maximum speed of 35 km/h, as
generally happens in parking areas.
The system activation is signalled to
the driver by means of a visual and
acoustic warning.
IMPORTANT NOTE If the sensors are
covered by objects or vehicles, the
system will not warn the driver.
Operating mode
The system can be
activated/deactivated by operating
on the display Menu, or via the
Uconnect™ system (for further
information see the dedicated
supplement).
Blind Spot Assist "Visual" mode
When this mode is active, the BSA
system sends a visual warning to
the door mirror relating to the object
detected.
However, when operating in "RCP"
mode, the system produces acoustic
and visual warnings when if the
presence of an object is detected.
When an acoustic warning is sent,
the Uconnect™ volume is lowered.
Blind Spot Assist "Sound &
Display" mode
When this mode has been activated,
the BSA system sends a visual warning
to the door mirror relating to the object
detected.
If the direction indicator on the side
where an obstacle has been detected
is activated, an acoustic warning is
emitted as well.
If a direction indicator is in operation
and an object is simultaneously
detected on the same side, both an
acoustic and a visual warning are
emitted. The Uconnect™ volume is
also lowered.
During "RCP" operating mode, the
system emits acoustic and visual
indications if the presence of an object
is detected. When an acoustic warning
is sent, the Uconnect™ volume is also
lowered.
Deactivating the Blind Spot Assist
function
When the system is deactivated ("Blind
spot alert" mode at "OFF"), the BSA
or RCP systems will not emit either
acoustic nor visual warnings.
The BSA system will store the
operating mode running when the
engine was stopped. Each time the
vehicle is started the previously stored
mode will be recalled and used.
IMPORTANT NOTE The system is
an aid for car driving, it DOES NOT
warn the driver about incoming cars
outside of the detection areas. The
driver must always maintain a sufficient
level of attention to the traffic and road
conditions and for controlling the
trajectory of the car.
