Side Blind Zone
Alert (SBZA)
If equipped, SBZA will detect
vehicles in the next lane over in the
vehicle's side blind zone area.
When this happens, the SBZA
display will light up in the
corresponding outside side mirror
and will flash if the turn signal is on.
SeeSide Blind Zone Alert (SBZA)
on page 9-41.
Rear Vision
Camera (RVC)
If equipped, RVC displays a view of
the area behind the vehicle, on the
center stack display, when the
vehicle is shifted into R (Reverse).
See Rear Vision Camera (RVC) on
page 9-43.
Ultrasonic Parking Assist
If equipped, this system uses
sensors on the rear bumper to
assist with parking and avoiding objects while in R (Reverse).
It operates at speeds less than
8 km/h (5 mph). Ultrasonic Rear
Parking Assist (URPA) uses audible
beeps to provide distance and
system information.
Keep the sensors on the vehicle's
rear bumper clean to ensure proper
operation.
See
Ultrasonic Parking Assist on
page 9-39.
Power Outlets
The accessory power outlets can be
used to plug in electrical equipment,
such as a cell phone or MP3 player.
There is one accessory power outlet
located on the center stack below
the climate control and one on the
rear of the center floor console.
These outlets are powered when the
key is in ON/RUN or ACC/
ACCESSORY, or until the driver
door is opened within 10 minutes of
turning off the vehicle. See Retained
Accessory Power (RAP) on
page 9-21. See
Power Outlets on page 5-6.
Universal Remote System
If equipped, this system provides a
way to replace up to three remote
control transmitters used to activate
devices such as garage door
openers, security systems, and
home automation devices.
Read the instructions completely
before attempting to program the
Universal Remote system. Because
of the steps involved, it may be
helpful to have another person
available to assist with programming
the Universal Remote system.
SeeUniversal Remote System on
page 5-36.

Driving and Operating 9-39
Collision Alert
When your vehicle approaches
another vehicle too rapidly, the FCA
display will come on in the DIC and
several beeps will sound. When this
occurs, the brake system prepares
for driver braking to occur more
rapidly, if needed.
Selecting the Alert Timing
The Collision Alert control is on the
steering wheel. Press
[to set the
alert timing. The first button press
shows the current control setting on
the DIC. Additional button presses
will change this setting and turn the
system off.
Unnecessary Alerts
FCA may provide unnecessary
alerts to turning vehicles, vehicles in
other lanes, objects that are not vehicles, or shadows. These alerts
are normal operation and the
vehicle does not need service.
Other Messages
There are messages that may
appear on the Driver Information
Center (DIC) in the instrument
cluster to provide information about
FCA. See
Object Detection System
Messages on page 5-29.
Cleaning the System
If the FCA system does not seem to
operate properly, clean the outside
of the windshield area in front of the
camera sensor before considering
taking the vehicle in for service.
Ultrasonic Parking Assist
For vehicles with the Ultrasonic
Rear Parking Assist (URPA) system,
it assists the driver with parking and
avoiding objects while in
R (Reverse). URPA operates at
speeds less than 8 km/h (5 mph).
The sensors on the rear bumper
detect objects up to 2.5 m (8 ft)

behind the vehicle, and at least
20 cm (8 in) off the ground. The
distance objects can be detected
may be less during warmer or humid
weather.
{Warning
The URPA system does not
detect children, pedestrians,
bicyclists, animals, or objects
below the bumper or that are too
close or too far from the vehicle.
It is not available at speeds
greater than 8 km/h (5 mph). To
prevent injury, death, or vehicle
damage, even with URPA, always
check the area around the vehicle
and check all mirrors before
backing.
How the System Works
URPA comes on automatically when
the shift lever is moved into
R (Reverse). A single beep sounds
to indicate the system is working.URPA operates only at speeds less
than 8 km/h (5 mph).
An obstacle is indicated by audible
beeps. The interval between the
beeps becomes shorter as the
vehicle gets closer to the obstacle.
When the distance is less than
30 cm (12 in), the beeping is a
continuous tone for five seconds.
Turning the System On and Off
The URPA system can be turned on
and off using the infotainment
system controls. See
Vehicle
Personalization on page 5-32.
When the system is off, PARK
ASSIST OFF displays on the Driver
Information Center (DIC). The
message disappears after a short
period of time.
URPA defaults to the on setting
each time the vehicle is started.
Turn off URPA when towing a trailer.
When the System Does Not
Seem to Work Properly
The following messages may be
displayed on the DIC:
SERVICE PARKING ASSIST: If
this message occurs, check the
following conditions:
.The ultrasonic sensors are not
clean. Keep the vehicle's rear
bumper free of mud, dirt, snow,
ice, and slush. For cleaning
instructions, see Exterior Care
on page 10-75.
.The park assist sensors are
covered by frost or ice. Frost or
ice can form around and behind
the sensors and may not always
be seen; this can occur after
washing the vehicle in cold
weather. The message may not
clear until the frost or ice has
melted.
If the above conditions do not exist,
take the vehicle to your dealer to
repair the system.

9-44 Driving and Operating
Symbols
The system may have a feature that
lets the driver view caution symbols
on the infotainment screen while
using the RVC. The Ultrasonic Rear
Park Assist (URPA) system must
not be disabled to use the caution
symbols. The error message Rear
Parking Assist Symbols Unavailable
may display if URPA has been
disabled and the symbols have
been turned on.
The symbols appear and may cover
an object when viewing the
infotainment screen when an object
is detected by the URPA system.
To turn the symbols on or off:
1. Shift into P (Park).
2. Press the CONFIG button toenter the configure menu
options.
3. Select Display.
4. Select Rear Camera Options. 5. Select Symbols. When a
checkmark appears next to the
Symbols option, symbols will
appear.
Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA)
On vehicles with the RCTA, a
warning triangle with a left or right
pointing arrow may also display on
the RVC screen to warn of traffic
coming from the left or the right.
Three beeps will also sound. This
system detects objects coming from
up to 20 m (65 ft) from the left or
right side behind the vehicle. The
RCTA system will not work properly
if ice, snow, mud, or anything else
builds up on the rear bumper
sensors.
Use caution while backing up when
towing a trailer, as the RCTA
detection zones that extend out
from the back of your vehicle do not
move further back when a trailer is
towed. On some vehicles, RCTA can be
turned on or off through the
infotainment system:
1. Shift into P (Park).
2. Press the CONFIG button to
enter the configure menu
options.
3. Select Display.
4. Select Rear Camera Options.
5. Select Rear Cross Traffic Alert. When a checkmark appears next
to the Rear Cross Traffic Alert
option, this feature will be on.
Guidelines
The RVC system may have a
guideline overlay that can help the
driver align the vehicle when
backing into a parking spot.
