It sounds like yours isn’t working correctly. The settings can be found in the head unit to turn the beeping on or off but the illumination of the icon in the side mirror should be a constant whenever a car is on your hip.
One thing that the majority of drivers do wrong is adjusting mirrors incorrectly. First, adjust your inside mirror to be able to clearly see a car behind you in the lane you’re in. Once you’ve got it adjusted, set your side mirrors so that when the car behind you changes lanes to pass you, the car enters your side mirror as they leave the rear view mirror. Now when the car in the next lane travels out of your field of view in the newly adjusted side mirror, it should enter your peripheral vision without having to turn your head much, if at all.
For most drivers this will require that you adjust the mirrors further out more than you currently have them set. You should not be looking down the side of your Jeep, you should be adjusted to see the adjacent lane including what used to be a large “blind spot”. This takes some getting used to but it works. You will see more useful area, reduce or eliminate the “blind spot”, and will need to turn less to see the vehicle that leaves your side mirror before it travels into your peripheral vision.
