traveling in the opposite direction of the vehicle in adjacent
lanes.
Opposing Traffic

SAFETY 185

Rear Cross Path (RCP)
The Rear Cross Path (RCP) feature is intended to aid the
driver when backing out of parking spaces where their
vision of oncoming vehicles may be blocked. Proceed
slowly and cautiously out of the parking space until the
rear end of the vehicle is exposed. The RCP system will
then have a clear view of the cross traffic and if an
oncoming vehicle is detected, alert the driver.
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 1 mph(2 km/h), to objects moving a maximum of approximately
22 mph (35 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.
RCP Detection Zones
186 SAFETY

When the system determines a collision with the vehicle in
front of you is no longer probable, the warning message
will be deactivated.
NOTE:
•The minimum speed for FCW activation is 4 mph
(7 km/h).
• The maximum speed for FCW activation is 124 mph
(200 km/h).
• The FCW alerts may be triggered on objects other than
vehicles such as guard rails or sign posts based on the
course prediction. This is expected and is a part of
normal FCW activation and functionality.
• The FCW system is intended for on-road use only. If the
vehicle is taken off-road, the FCW system should be
deactivated to prevent unnecessary warnings to the
surroundings.
• If the vehicle enters 4WD Low Range, the FCW system
will be automatically deactivated.
• The active braking is enabled only if the front seat belts
are fastened.
• The active braking is disabled when a trailer is con-
nected with a Mopar Trailer Towing system. If the vehicle is equipped with an aftermarket system, it is
recommended that the Active Braking is turned off
manually.
