Object Detection Systems

Ultrasonic Rear Parking Assist
(URPA)
For vehicles with the Ultrasonic Rear Parking Assist
(URPA) system, it operates at speeds less than 5 mph
(8 km/h), and assists the driver with parking and
avoiding objects while in R (Reverse). The sensors on
the rear bumper are used to detect the distance to
an object up to 8 feet (2.5 m) behind the vehicle, and at
least 10 inches (25.4 cm) off the ground.
CAUTION:
{
The Ultrasonic Rear Parking Assist (URPA)
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 and while
backing; vehicle damage, injury, or death
could occur. Even with URPA, always check
behind your vehicle before backing up. While
backing, be sure to look for objects and check
your vehicle's mirrors.
URPA uses three color-coded lights to provide distance
and system information.
The display is located in
the headliner and can be
seen by looking over
your right shoulder.
