RCP (Rear Cross Path) function
This function helps the driver during
reverse manoeuvres in the case of
reduced visibility.
The RCP function monitors the rear
detection zones on both sides of the car,
for objects that are moving toward the
side of the car with a minimum speed of
approximately 5 km/h, to objects moving
a maximum of approximately 32 km/h,
such as in car parks fig. 67.
The function activation is signalled
to the driver by a visual and acoustic
warning.
Warning
If the sensors are covered by obstacles or
cars, the system will not warn the driver.

When RCP is on and the car is in
reverse, the driver is alerted using both
the visual and audible alarms, including
reducing the
Uconnect™
system volume.

Operating mode
Three selectable modes of operation
are available in the Uconnect™ System.
Refer to the “Settings” paragraph in
the “Multimedia” section for further
information.
"Blind Spot Alert", "Warning light only"
mode
When the Blind Spot Alert mode is
active, the BSM system will provide a
visual alert in the appropriate door rear-
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. When an acoustic warning is
sent, the Uconnect™ system volume is
lowered.
"Blind Spot Alert", "Light/acoustic warning"
mode
When the system is enabled and
presence of a vehicle in the blind spot
is detected, a visual warning is sent to
the door rear-mirror on the side of the
detected object.
The acoustic warning will sound if
the driver switches on the direction
indicators to indicate the intention to
change lane in the direction of the
detected object. Whenever a direction
indicator and detected object are present
on the same side at the same time, both
the visual and audible alerts will be
issued.
NOTE When an acoustic warning is sent
from the BSM system, the Uconnect™
system volume is lowered.
When the system is in RCP, the system
shall respond with both visual and
audible alerts when a detected object is
present. When an acoustic warning is
sent, the Uconnect™ system volume is
lowered. Direction indicator/hazard signal
status is ignored; the RCP state always
requests the acoustic warning.
"Blind Spot Alert" function deactivation
When the BSM system is turned off there
will be no visual or audible alerts from
either the BSM systems or the RCP
function.
NOTE The BSM system will store the
current operating mode when the car is
