WARNING!
Ignoring the Air Bag WarningLight in your instrument panel or
the “SERVICE ACTIVE HOOD”
message in the EVIC could mean
you won’t have the Active Hood
to enhance pedestrian protection.
If the light does not come on as a
bulb check when the ignition is
first turned on, stays on after you
start the vehicle, or if it comes on
as you drive, see your authorized
dealer.
Modifications to any part of the Active Hood system could cause it
to fail when you need it. Do not
modify the components or wiring.
Do not modify the front bumper,
vehicle body structure, or add an
aftermarket front bumper or
cover.
It is dangerous to try to repair any part of the Active Hood system
yourself. Be sure to tell anyone
who works on your vehicle that it
has an Active Hood system.

WARNING!(Continued)
Do not attempt to modify anypart of your Active Hood system.
The Active Hood may deploy ac-
cidentally or may not function
properly if modifications are
made. Take your vehicle to an
authorized dealer for any hood
service.
Drivers must be aware of pedes- trians. Always be sure to check
for pedestrians, animals, other
vehicles, and obstructions. You
are responsible for safety and

ENHANCED SEAT BELT
USE REMINDER SYSTEM
(BeltAlert®)
BeltAlert® is a feature intended to
remind the driver and front passenger
(for versions/markets, where pro-
vided with front passenger
BeltAlert®) to fasten their seat belts.
The feature is active whenever the ignition is on. If the driver or front
seat passenger is unbelted, the Seat
Belt Reminder Light will turn on and
remain on until both front seat belts
are fastened.
The BeltAlert® warning sequence be-
gins after the vehicle speed is over
8 km/h, by blinking the Seat Belt
Reminder Light and sounding an in-
termittent chime. Once the sequence
starts, it will continue for the entire
duration or until the respective seat-
belts are fastened. After the sequence
completes, the Seat Belt Reminder
Light remains illuminated until the
respective seat belts are fastened. The
driver should instruct all other occu-
pants to fasten their seat belts. If a
front seat belt is unbuckled while
traveling at speeds greater than
8 km/h, BeltAlert® will provide both
audio and visual notification.
The front passenger seat BeltAlert® is
not active when the front passenger
seat is unoccupied. BeltAlert® may be
triggered when an animal or heavy
object is on the front passenger seat or
when the seat is folded flat (for
versions/markets, where provided). It

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.
MODES OF OPERATION
Modes Of Operation With EVIC
Three selectable modes of operation
are available in the Electronic Vehicle
Information Center (EVIC). Refer to
“Electronic Vehicle Information Cen-
ter (EVIC)/Personal Settings
(Customer-Programmable Features)”
in “Understanding Your Instrument
Panel” for further information.
Modes Of Operation With
Uconnect® System — (for
versions/markets, where pro-
vided)
Three selectable modes of operation
are available in the Uconnect® sys-
tem screen. Refer to “Customer- Pro-
grammable Features — Uconnect®
Access settings ” in “Understanding
Your Instrument Panel” for further
information.
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.
NOTE:
Whenever an audible alert is re-
quested by the BSM system, the
radio volume is reduced.
76
If the hazard flashers are on, thesystem will request the appro-
priate 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 volume is re-
duced. Turn/hazard signal status is
ignored; the RCP state always re-
quests the audible chime.
Blind Spot Alert Off (Lights Only)
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 current operating mode when
the vehicle is shut off. Each time
the vehicle is started, the previ-
ously stored mode will be recalled
and used.Uconnect® PHONE
