Modes Of Operation
Three selectable modes of operation are avail-
able
in the Uconnect System. Refer to
“Uconnect Settings” in “Multimedia” for further
information.
Blind Spot Alert Lights Only (Default Setting)
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 Rear Cross Path (RCP) mode, the
system will respond with both visual and audible
alerts when a detected object is present. When-
ever 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 acti-
vated, 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 issued. 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 shall
respond with both visual and audible alerts
when a detected object is present. Whenever an
audible alert is requested, the radio volume is
reduced. 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.
Blocked Sensor
If the system detects degraded performance
due to contamination or foreign objects, a mes-
sage will warn you of a blocked sensor and the
warning indicators in side view mirrors will be
illuminated. The warning indicators will remain
illuminated until blockage clearing conditions
are met. First clear the fascia area around the
sensors of the blockage. After removing the
blockage, reset the system by cycling the igni-
tion from ON to OFF and then back ON.

Forward Collision Warning (FCW)
With Mitigation — If Equipped
Forward Collision Warning (FCW) With
Mitigation Operation
The Forward Collision Warning (FCW) system
with mitigation provides the driver with audible
warnings, visual warnings (within the instrument
cluster display), and may apply a brake jerk to
warn the driver when it detects a potential frontal
collision. The warnings and limited braking are
intended to provide the driver with enough time
to react, avoid or mitigate the potential collision.
NOTE:
FCW monitors the information from the forward
looking sensors as well as the Electronic Brake
Controller (EBC), to calculate the probability of a
forward collision. When the system determines
that a forward collision is probable, the driver will
