zones
.

.
Even
if your vehicle is equipped with the BSM system, always check your vehicles mirrors,
glance over your shoulder, and use your turn signal before changing lanes

so can result in serious injury or death
.
Rear Cross Path (RCP)
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
.
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 1 mph
(2 km/h), to objects moving a maximum of approximately 22 mph (35 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 vi-
sual 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 .
