2009 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN parking sensors

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 to
2 mph (1 km/h to 3 km/h), to objects moving a maxi-
mum of approximately 10 mph (16 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 visual and audible
alarms, including radio muting. 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 back-
ing up. Failure to do so can result in serious injury or
death.

CAUTION!
To avoid vehicle damage, the Rear Park Assist
should only be used as a parking aid and is unable
to recognize every obstacle, including small ob-
jects. Parking curbs might be temporarily detected
or not detected at all. Obstacles located above or
below the sensors will not be detected when they
are in close proximity to the rear of the vehicle.
To avoid vehicle damage, the vehicle must be
driven slowly when using the Rear Park Assist, to
be able to stop in time when an obstacle is
detected. It is recommended that you look over
your shoulder when using the Rear Park Assist.
NOTE:
Ensure that the rear bumper is free of dirt and debris
to keep the system operating properly.
Jackhammers, large trucks, and other vibrations could
affect the performance of the system.
Enabling and Disabling The Rear Park Assist
There are times when you may want to disable the Rear
Park Assist, such as when towing a trailer.
Vehicles Equipped With the Electronic Vehicle
Information Center (EVIC)
You can turn the Rear Park Assist ON or OFF through the
EVIC. For details, refer to “Personal Settings (Customer-
Programmable Features)” under “Electronic Vehicle In-
formation Center (EVIC)” in Section 4.
Vehicles Equipped With the Compass Mini-Trip
Computer (CMTC)
You can turn the Rear Park Assist ON or OFF through the
CMTC by pressing the left reset button in the instrument
cluster. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position, then
press and hold the RESET button for approximately two
seconds.
