2017 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN Operating radio

RCP monitors the rear detection zones on both sides of the
vehicle, for objects that are moving toward the side of the
vehicle with a minimum speed of approximately 3 mph
(5 km/h), to objects moving a maximum of approximately
20 mph (32 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, includ-
ing 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 vehicle, 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 Instrument Cluster Display
Three selectable modes of operation are available in the
Instrument Cluster Display. Refer to “Instrument Cluster
Display/Personal Settings (Customer-Programmable Fea-
tures)” in “Understanding Your Instrument Panel” for
further information.
Blind Spot Alert Lights Only
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 object. However, when the
system is operating in RCP, the system will respond with
both visual and audible alerts when a detected object is
present. Whenever an audible alert is requested, 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 appro-
priate 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
3
UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE 111

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
appropriate 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 reduced. Turn/hazard signal status is ignored;
the RCP state always requests the chime.
Blind Spot Alert Off
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 previously stored mode will be recalled and
used.General Information

voice commands (e.g., “Call” “Mike” “Work” or “Dial”
 “248-555-1212”). Your mobile phone’s audio is transmit-
ted through your vehicle’s audio system; the system will
automatically mute your radio when using the Uconnect

Service The ParkSense Rear Park Assist System
During vehicle start up, when the ParkSense Rear Park
Assist System has detected a faulted condition, the instru-
ment cluster will actuate a single chime, once per ignition
cycle, and it will display the “SERVICE PARK ASSIST
SYSTEM” message. Refer to “Instrument Cluster Display”
in “Understanding Your Instrument Panel” for further
information. When the gear selector is moved to REVERSE
and the system has detected a faulted condition, the
Instrument Cluster Display will display the “SERVICE
PARK ASSIST SYSTEM” message for as long as the vehicle
is in REVERSE. Under this condition, ParkSense will not
operate.
If “SERVICE PARK ASSIST SYSTEM” appears in the In-
strument Cluster Display after making sure the rear fascia/
bumper is free from snow, ice, mud, dirt and debris, see
your Authorized Dealer.
Cleaning The ParkSense System

a soft cloth. Do not use rough or hard cloths. Do not scratch
or poke the sensors. Otherwise, you could damage the
sensors.
ParkSense System Usage Precautions
NOTE:
•Ensure that the rear bumper is free of snow, ice, mud,
dirt and debris to keep the ParkSense system operating
properly.
• Jackhammers, large trucks, and other vibrations could
affect the performance of ParkSense.
• When you turn ParkSense OFF, the instrument cluster
will display “PARK ASSIST SYSTEM OFF.” Further-
more, once you turn ParkSense off, it remains off until
you turn it on again, even if you cycle the ignition key.
• When you move the gear selector to the REVERSE
position and ParkSense is turned OFF, the Instrument
Cluster Display will display “PARK ASSIST SYSTEM
OFF” message for as long as the vehicle is in REVERSE.
• ParkSense, when on, will reduce the radio volume when
it is sounding a tone.
