Rear View
The system detects vehicles coming from the
rear part of your vehicle on both sides and
entering the rear detection area with a differ-
ence in speed of less than 25 mph (40 km/h)
in relation to your vehicle.
Overtaking Vehicles
If another vehicle is overtaken slowly, with a
difference in speed of less than 15 mph
(25 km/h) and the vehicle stays in the blind
spot for approximately 1.5 seconds, the
warning light on the door mirror of the corre -
sponding side illuminates.
If the difference in speed between the two
vehicles is greater than 15 mph (25 km/h), the warning light does not illuminate

Ú
page 273. Rear Cross Path Detection (RCP) System
The RCP system assists the driver during
reverse maneuvers in the case of reduced visi
-
bility.

The RCP system monitors the rear detection
areas on both sides of the vehicle to detect
objects moving toward the sides of the vehicle,
with a minimum speed between 1 mph (1 km/h)
and 2 mph (3 km/h) and objects moving at a maximum speed of 21 mph (35 km/h), in areas
such as parking lots.

The system activation is signaled to the driver
by an audible warning.

NOTE:

If the sensors are covered by objects or
vehicles, the system may not work as
intended.
For the system to operate correctly, the rear
fascia/bumper area where the radar
sensors are located must stay free from
snow, ice and dirt gathered from the road
surface.
Do not cover the rear fascia/bumper area
where the radar sensors are located with
any object (e.g. adhesives, bike rack, etc.). Operating Mode
The system may be activated/deactivated via
the radio system. To access the function,
select the following items on the main menu in
sequence:
1. “Settings”
2. “Safety”
3. “Blind Spot Alert”
“Blind Spot Alert”, “Visual” Mode
When the system is enabled, the warning light
within the door mirror on the side of the
detected object illuminates.
The visual warning on the mirror will blink if the
driver activates the turn signals, indicating a
lane change.
The warning light will be constant if the driver
stays in the same lane.
WARNING!
The Blind Spot Monitoring system is only an
aid to help detect objects in the blind spot
zones. The BSM system is not designed to
detect pedestrians, bicyclists, or animals.
Even if your vehicle is equipped with the
BSM system, always check your vehicle’s
mirrors, glance over your shoulder, and use
your turn signal before changing lanes.
Failure to do so can result in serious injury
or death.
WARNING!
Rear Cross Path Detection (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. Failure to do so
can result in serious injury or death.

IN CASE OF EMERGENCY
Have a flat tire or a burnt-out bulb?
At times, a problem such as these may inter-
fere with your driving experience.
The section on emergencies can help you to
deal with critical situations independently.
In an emergency, we recommend that you call
the phone number found in the Warranty
Book.
You may also consider contacting an autho -
rized dealer.
HAZARD WARNING FLASHERS
The Hazard Warning Flashers switch is located
in the switch bank below the radio screen.
Push the switch once to turn the Hazard
Warning Flashers on. When the switch is acti -
vated, all directional turn signals will flash on
and off to warn oncoming traffic of an emer -
gency. Push the switch a second time to turn
the Hazard Warning Flashers off.
This is an emergency warning system and it
should not be used when the vehicle is in
motion. Use it when your vehicle is disabled
and is creating a safety hazard for other motor -
ists. When you must leave the vehicle to seek
assistance, the Hazard Warning Flashers will
continue to operate even though the ignition is
cycled to OFF.
Hazard Warning Flashers Switch
SOS - EMERGENCY CALL
Your vehicle has an on-board assistance
feature that is designed to provide support in
case of an accident and/or emergency. This
feature is automatically activated by air bag
intervention, or can be activated manually by
pushing the button located on the base of the
rear view mirror.

NOTE:

SOS - Emergency Call will only work with an
enabled network operator. SOS - Emergency Call Button
The SOS - Emergency Call system automati -
cally forwards a call to emergency services in
the event of an accident with air bag interven -
tion providing that the ignition device is in RUN
position and the air bags are working. When
the connection between the vehicle and a
public safety operator is made, your vehicle
will automatically transmit location and
vehicle information to the emergency service
operator.
CAUTION!
Prolonged use of the Hazard Warning
Flashers may discharge the vehicle’s
battery.
