OUTSIDE MIRRORS
WITH TURN SIGNAL AND
APPROACH LIGHTING
(for versions/markets,
where provided)
Driver and passenger outside mirrors
with turn signals located within the
mirror housing and approach lighting
located within mirror glass contain
five LEDs.
Three of the LEDs are turn signal
indicators, which flash with the corre-
sponding turn signal lights in the
front and rear of the vehicle. Turning
on the Hazard Warning flashers will
also activate these LEDs.The other two LEDs supply illumi-
nated entry lighting, which turns on in
both mirrors when you use the Remote
Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter or
open any door. These LEDs shine out-
ward to illuminate the front and rear
door handles. They also shine down-
ward to illuminate the area in front of
the doors.The Illuminated Entry lighting fades
to off after about 30 seconds or it willfade to off immediately once the igni-
tion is placed into the RUN position.
NOTE:
The approach lighting will
not function when the shift lever is
moved out of the PARK position.
TILT MIRRORS IN
REVERSE (for versions/
markets, where provided)Tilt Mirrors in Reverse provides auto-
matic outside mirror positioning which
will aid the driver’s view of the ground
rearward of the front doors. The out-
side mirrors will move slightly down-
ward from the present position when
the vehicle is shifted into REVERSE.
The outside mirrors will then return to
the original position when the vehicle is
shifted out of the REVERSE position.
Each stored memory setting will have
an associated Tilt Mirrors in Reverse
position.NOTE:
The Tilt Mirrors in Reverse fea- ture is not turned on when deliv-
ered from the factory. The Tilt
Mirrors in Reverse feature can
be turned on and off using the
Uconnect Touch™ System. Refer to “Uconnect Touch™ Set-
tings” in “Understanding Your
Instrument Panel” for further
information.
POWER MIRRORS
The power mirror controls are located
on the driver's door trim panel.
The power mirror controls consist of
mirror select buttons and a four-way
mirror control switch. To adjust a mir-
ror, press either the L (left) or R (right)
button to select the mirror that you
want to adjust.NOTE:
A light in the select button
will illuminate indicating the mir-
ror is activated and can be adjusted.Power Mirror Control

3 km/h, to objects moving a maxi-
mum of approximately 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 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 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
Instrument Panel” for further infor-
mation.
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
requested by the BSM system,
the radio volume is reduced.
If the hazard flashers are on, the system will request the ap-
propriate visual alert only.
When the system is in RCP, the system
shall respond with both visual and
audible alerts when a detected 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.
