WARNING!
The Blind Spot Monitoring system is only an
aid to help detect objects in the blind spot
zones. The BSM system is not designed to
detect pedestrians, bicyclists, or animals.
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. Fail-
ure to do so can result in serious injury or
death.
Rear Cross Path
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 3 mph (5 km/h), to objects
moving a maximum of approximately 20 mph
(32 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 RE-
VERSE, the driver is alerted using both the
visual 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 care-
fully behind your vehicle, look behind you,
and be sure to check for pedestrians, ani-
mals, other vehicles, obstructions, and blind
