NOTE: In a parking lot situation,
oncoming vehicles can be ob-
scured by vehicles parked on ei-
ther side. If the sensors are
blocked by other structures or ve-
hicles, 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 carefully behind your ve-
hicle, look behind you, and be sure
to check for pedestrians, animals,
other vehicles, obstructions, and
blind spots before backing up. Fail-
ure to do so can result in serious
injury or death.

Blind Spot Alert
When operating in Blind Spot Alert
mode, the BSM system will provide a
visual alert in the appropriate sideview 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.
