WARNING
The Ultrasonic Front and Rear
Park Assist (UFRPA) system does
not replace driver vision. It cannot
detect:
• objects that are below the
bumper, underneath the
vehicle, or if they are too close
or far from the vehicle
• children, pedestrians,
bicyclists, or pets.
If you do not use proper care
before moving forward and while
backing; vehicle damage, injury,
or death could occur. Even with
UFRPA, always check in front of
the vehicle before moving forward
and behind the vehicle before
backing up. While moving forward
and backing, be sure to look for
objects and check the vehicle's
mirrors.
How the System Works
When the vehicle is shifted into R
(Reverse) the front and rear sensors
are automatically turned on, after the
vehicle is shifted out of R (Reverse),
the rear sensors are turned off and
the front sensors stay on until the
vehicle is above a certain speed. The
front sensors may also be turned on
by pressing the park assist button
located next to the shift lever without
shifting into R (Reverse) while the
vehicle is traveling at a low speed.
See "Turning the System On and Off"
later in this section.
When the vehicle is in N (Neutral),
the system may be active. If the
vehicle is in a car wash, the sensors
may detect objects in the car wash.
See "Turning the System On and Off"
later in this section to turn the system
off.
High-toned beeps heard from the
front speakers are for objects
detected near the front bumper.
Low-toned beeps heard from the rear
speakers are for objects detected
near the rear bumper.
When an object is detected, high or
low-tone beeps are heard. As the
vehicle gets closer to an object, the
time between the beeps becomes
shorter. When the distance is less
than 30 cm (11.8 in), beeping is
continuous. The distance may be
less during warmer or humid
weather.
PARK ASSIST OFF displays on the
Driver Information Center (DIC) to
indicate that UFRPA is off. The
message disappears after a short
period of time.
