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.

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)

operation.
.The bumper is damaged. Take
the vehicle to your dealer to
repair the system.
.Other conditions, such as
vibrations from a jackhammer or
the compression of air brakes on
a very large truck, are affecting
system performance.
Side Blind Zone
Alert (SBZA)
If equipped, the SBZA system is a
lane-changing aid that assists
drivers with avoiding crashes that occur with vehicles in the side blind
zone (or spot) areas. The SBZA
warning display will light up in the
corresponding outside side mirror
and will flash if the turn signal is on.
{Warning
SBZA does not alert the driver to
vehicles rapidly approaching
outside of the side blind zones,
pedestrians, bicyclists,
or animals. It may not provide
alerts when changing lanes under
all driving conditions. Failure to
use proper care when changing
lanes may result in injury, death,
or vehicle damage. Before
making a lane change, always
check mirrors, glance over your
shoulder, and use the turn
signals.
SBZA Detection Zones
The SBZA sensor covers a zone of
approximately one lane over from
both sides of the vehicle, or 3.5 m
(11 ft). The height of the zone is
approximately between 0.5 m (1.5 ft)
and 2 m (6 ft) off the ground. This
zone starts at approximately the
middle of the vehicle and goes back
5 m (16 ft).
How the System Works
The SBZA symbol lights up in the
side mirrors when the system
detects a vehicle in the next lane

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.
