What Is SiriusXM Guardian™?
SiriusXM Guardian™ uses an embedded device in the
Uconnect system installed in your vehicle, which receives
GPS signals and communicates with the SiriusXM Guardian™ Customer Care center via wireless and
landline communications networks. Depending on the
type of device in your vehicle, some SiriusXM Guardian™
connected services require an operable LTE (voice/data)
or 4G (data) network compatible with your device.
SiriusXM Guardian™ is available only on equipped
vehicles purchased within the continental United States,
Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico and Canada.
NOTE:
Certain SiriusXM Guardian™ connected services are
dependent upon an operative telematics device, a
cellular connection, navigation map data, and GPS
satellite signal reception, which can limit the ability to
reach the response center or reach emergency
support.
Not all features of SiriusXM Guardian™ are available
everywhere at all times, particularly in remote or
enclosed areas.
Other factors outside the control of SiriusXM
Guardian™ that may limit or prevent service delivery
are hills, structures, buildings, tunnels, weather,
damage to the electrical system or other important
parts of your vehicle, network congestion, civil distur -
bances, actions of third parties or the government,
Internet failure, and/or the physical location of your
vehicle, such as in an underground parking structure or
under a bridge.
Not all SiriusXM Guardian™ features are available for all
models.
SiriusXM Guardian™ provides:
The ability to remotely lock/unlock and remote start
your vehicle from virtually anywhere by using the
Vehicle Branded App or your computer.
If equipped — Send & Go capability with the Vehicle

SOS Call — If Equipped
Access To Emergency Services At The Push Of A Button
SiriusXM Guardian™ In-Vehicle Assistance Features
With SiriusXM Guardian™, your vehicle has onboard
assistance features located on the rearview mirror or
overhead console designed to enhance your driving
experience if you should ever need assistance or support. Description
SOS Call offers a convenient way to get in contact with a
SiriusXM Guardian™ Customer Care agent in the event of
an emergency. When the connection between the vehicle
and the live agent is made, your vehicle will automatically
transmit location information. In the event of a minor
collision, medical or any other emergency, press the SOS
button to be connected to a call center agent who can
send emergency assistance to your vehicle’s location.
NOTE:Certain SiriusXM Guardian™ connected services are
dependent on an operational Uconnect system, cellular
network availability that is compatible with the device in
your vehicle, and GPS network availability. Not all features
of SiriusXM Guardian™ are available everywhere at all
times, particularly in remote or enclosed areas.
How It Works
1. Push the SOS Call button; the indicator light will turn green indicating a call has been placed.
NOTE:
In case the SOS Call button is accidentally pushed,
there is a 10-second delay before the SOS call is
placed. The system will verbally alert you that a call
is about to be made. To cancel the SOS Call connec -
tion, push the SOS Call button on the rearview
mirror or overhead console or press the Cancel
button on the touchscreen within 10 seconds.

AUXILIARY DRIVING SYSTEMS
BLIND SPOT MONITORING (BSM) —
I
F EQUIPPED
The BSM system uses two radar sensors, located inside
the taillights, 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 rearview mirrors to
let the driver know that the system is operational. The
BSM system sensors operate when the vehicle is in any
forward gear and enters standby mode when the vehicle is
in PARK (P). 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 rearview mirror and extends
approximately 10 ft (3 m) beyond the rear fascia/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
Úpage 184.
The Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) system may experi -
ence dropouts (blinking on and off) of the side mirror
warning indicator light 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).
The BSM system can become blocked if snow, ice, mud, or
other road contaminations accumulate on the rear fascia/
bumper where the radar sensors are located. The system
may also detect blockage if the vehicle is operated in
areas with extremely low radar returns such as a desert or
parallel to a large elevation drop. If blockage is detected,
a “Blind Spot Temporarily Unavailable, Wipe Rear
Corners” message will display in the cluster, both mirror lights will illuminate, and BSM and RCP alerts will not
occur. This is normal operation. The system will
automatically recover and resume function when the
condition clears. To minimize system blockage, do not
block the area of the rear fascia/bumper where the radar
sensors are located with foreign objects (bumper stickers,
bicycle racks, etc.) and keep it clear of road
contaminations.
BSM Radar Location (Left Side Shown)
The BSM system notifies the driver of objects in the
detection zones by illuminating the BSM Warning Light
located in the outside mirrors in addition to sounding an
audible (chime) alert and reducing the radio volume
Úpage 254.
23_JL_OM_EN_USC_t.book Page 252
254SAFETY
The BSM system will not alert you of objects that are
traveling in the opposite direction of the vehicle in
adjacent lanes
Úpage 381.
Opposing Traffic
Rear Cross Path (RCP)
RCP 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 Detection Zones
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.
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.
NOTE:In a parking lot situation, oncoming vehicles can be
blocked 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.
Blind Spot Modes
Blind Spot has three selectable modes of operation that
are available in the Uconnect system.
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 Rear Cross Path (RCP) mode, the
system will respond with both visual and audible alerts
when a detected object is present. Whenever an audible
alert is requested, the radio is muted.
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
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 backup 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.
