NOTE:
Changes or modifications not expressly
approved by the party responsible for
compliance could void the user’s authority to
operate the equipment.VEHICLE SECURITY ALARM — IF EQUIPPED
The vehicle security alarm monitors the vehicle
doors for unauthorized entry and the ignition
switch for unauthorized operation. When the
alarm is activated, the interior switches for door
locks, power sliding doors and power liftgate
are disabled. The vehicle security alarm
provides both audible and visible signals.
If something triggers the alarm, the vehicle
security alarm will provide the following audible
and visible signals: the horn will pulse, the park
lamps and/or turn signals will flash, and the
vehicle security light in the instrument cluster
will flash.
Rearming Of The System
The vehicle security alarm will rearm itself after
the 15 additional minutes of the park lamps
and vehicle security light flashing, if the system
has not been disabled. If the condition which
initiated the alarm is still present, the system
will ignore that condition and monitor the
remaining doors and ignition.
To Arm The System
Follow these steps to arm the vehicle security
alarm:

1. Make sure the vehicle’s ignition is placed in the OFF position (refer to "Starting The
Engine" in "Starting And Operating" for
further information).

2. Perform one of the following methods to lock the vehicle:
Push lock on the interior power door lock
switch with the driver and/or passenger
door open.
Push the lock button on the key fob.
3. If any doors are open, close them.
To Disarm The System
The vehicle security alarm can be disarmed
using any of the following methods:
Push the unlock button on the key fob.
Cycle the vehicle ignition system out of the
OFF position. Insert a valid key into the igni -
tion switch and place the ignition into the ON
position.

110SAFETY
AUXILIARY DRIVING SYSTEMS
Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) — If Equipped
The Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) system uses
two radar sensors, located inside the rear
bumper fascia, to detect highway licensable
vehicles (automobiles, trucks, motorcycles,
etc.) that enter the blind spot zones from the
rear/front/side of the vehicle.

Rear Detection Zones

When the vehicle is started, the BSM warning
light will momentarily illuminate in both outside
rear view mirrors to let the driver know that the
system is operational. The BSM system sensors operate when the
vehicle is in any forward gear or REVERSE.

BSM Warning Light

The BSM detection zone covers approximately
one lane width on both sides of the vehicle 12 ft
(3.8 m). The zone length starts at the outside
rear view mirror and extends approximately
10 ft (3 m) beyond the rear bumper of the
vehicle. The BSM system monitors the
detection zones on both sides of the vehicle
when the vehicle speed reaches approximately
6 mph (10 km/h) or higher and will alert the
driver of vehicles in these areas. NOTE:
The BSM system DOES NOT alert the driver
about rapidly approaching vehicles that are
outside the detection zones.
The BSM system detection zone DOES NOT
change if your vehicle is towing a trailer.
Therefore, visually verify the adjacent lane is
clear for both your vehicle and trailer before
making a lane change. If the trailer or other
object (i.e., bicycle, sports equipment)
extends beyond the side of your vehicle, this
may result in the BSM warning light
remaining illuminated the entire time the
vehicle is in a forward gear.
The Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) system may
experience drop outs (blinking on and off) of
the side mirror Warning Indicator lamps
when a motorcycle or any small object
remains at the side of the vehicle for
extended periods of time (more than a couple
of seconds).

20_RT_OM_EN_USC_t.book Page 110

114SAFETY
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 appropriate 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 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.

118SAFETY
Once you repair or replace the original road
tire and reinstall it on the vehicle in place of
the compact spare tire, the TPMS will auto -
matically update, and the TPMS Warning
Light will turn off as long as no tire pressure
is below the low-pressure warning limit in any
of the four active road tires.
TPMS Deactivation — If Equipped
The TPMS can be deactivated if replacing all
four wheel and tire assemblies (road tires) with
wheel and tire assemblies that do not have
TPMS sensors, such as when installing winter
wheel and tire assemblies on your vehicle.
To deactivate the TPMS, first, replace all four
wheel and tire assemblies (road tires) with tires
not equipped with Tire Pressure Monitoring
(TPM) sensors. Then, drive the vehicle for
20 minutes above 15 mph (24 km/h). The
TPMS will chime, the TPMS Warning Light will
flash on and off for 75 seconds and then remain
on.
Beginning with the next ignition cycle, the TPMS
will no longer chime or flash the TPMS Warning
Light. To reactivate the TPMS, replace all four wheel
and tire assemblies (road tires) with tires
equipped with TPM sensors. Then, drive the
vehicle for up to 20 minutes above 15 mph
(24 km/h). The TPMS will chime, the TPMS
Warning Light will flash on and off for
75 seconds and then turn off.
