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 be-
hind 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.
MODES OF OPERATION
Three selectable modes of operation
are available in the Uconnect Touch™
System. Refer to “Uconnect Touch™
Settings” in “Understanding Your In-
strument Panel” for further informa-
tion. Blind Spot Alert
When operating in Blind Spot Alert
mode, the BSM system will provide a
visual alert in the appropriate side
view mirror based on a detected ob-
ject. However, when the system is op-
erating in RCP, the system will re-
spond with both visual and audible
alerts when a detected object is pres-
ent. Whenever an audible alert is re-
quested, the radio volume is reduced.
Blind Spot Alert Lights/Chime
When operating in Blind Spot Alert
Lights/Chime mode, the BSM system
will provide a visual alert in the ap-
propriate side view mirror based on a
detected object. If the turn signal is
then activated, 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 audio alerts will be issued.
In addition to the audible alert, the
radio (if on) volume will be reduced.NOTE:
Whenever an audible alert is re-
quested by the BSM system, the
radio volume is reduced.
If the hazard flashers are on, the system will request the appro-
priate visual alert only.
When the system is in RCP, the
system shall respond with both vi-
sual and audible alerts when a de-
tected object is present. Whenever
an audible alert is requested, the
radio is also muted. Turn/hazard
signal status is ignored; the RCP
state always requests the audible
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 cur-
rent operating mode when the ve-
hicle is shut off. Each time the ve-
hicle is started, the previously
stored mode will be recalled and
used.

The distance the driver seat moves
depends on where you have the driver
seat positioned when you place the
ignition to the OFF position.
When you cycle the ignition to the
OFF position, the driver seat will
move about 60 mm rearward if the
driver seat position is greater than
or equal to 67.7 mm forward of the
rear stop. The seat will return to its previously set position when you
place the ignition into the ACC or
RUN position.
When you cycle the ignition to the OFF position, the driver seat will
move to a position 7.7 mm forward
of the rear stop if the driver seat
position is between 22.7 mm and
67.7 mm forward of the rear stop.
The seat will return to its previously
set position when you place the ig-
nition to the ACC or RUN position.
The Easy Entry/Easy Exit feature is disabled when the driver seat po-
sition is less than 22.7 mm forward
of the rear stop. At this position,
there is no benefit to the driver by
moving the seat for Easy Exit or
Easy Entry.

WARNING!(Continued)
To help protect against personal
injury, passengers should not be
seated in the rear cargo area. The
rear cargo space is intended for
load carrying purposes only, not
for passengers, who should sit in
seats and use seat belts.WARNING!
The weight and position of cargo
and passengers can change the ve-
hicle center of gravity and vehicle
handling. To avoid loss of control
resulting in personal injury, follow
these guidelines for loading your ve-
hicle:
Always place cargo evenly on the
cargo floor. Put heavier objects as
low and as far forward as possible.
Place as much cargo as possible in
front of the rear axle. Too much
weight or improperly placed
weight over or behind the rear
axle can cause the rear of the ve-
hicle to sway.
(Continued)
WARNING!(Continued)
Do not pile luggage or cargo
higher than the top of the seat-
back. This could impair visibility
or become a dangerous projectile
in a sudden stop or collision.
