Ultrasonic Rear Parking Assist (Urpa) - Chevrolet 2007 Avalanche Owner's Manual

Ultrasonic Rear Parking
Assist (URPA)
If your vehicle has the Ultrasonic Rear Parking
Assist (URPA) system it is designed to help
you park while in REVERSE (R). It operates only
at speeds less than 5 mph (8 km/h). URPA
helps make parking easier and helps you avoid
colliding with objects such as parked vehicles. The
URPA system detects objects that are close to
the rear of the vehicle which are at least 10 inches
(25.4 cm) off the ground and below hood or
trunk level. The system detects objects up to
8 feet (2.5 m) behind your vehicle. The URPA
sensors determine how close these objects
are from your bumper within this area.

CAUTION:
{
Even with the Ultrasonic Rear Park Assist
system, the driver must check carefully
before backing up. The system does not
operate above speeds of 5 mph (8 km/h).
The system does not detect objects more
than 8 feet (2.5 meters) behind the vehicle.
This detection distance limit may be
reduced during warm weather or high
humidity. Also, the system does not detect
objects that are below your bumper,
underneath your vehicle, or some objects
very close to the vehicle. The system is not
designed to detect children, pedestrians,
bicyclists, or pets.
So, unless you check carefully behind your
vehicle while you are backing up, they
could be injured or killed.
Whether or not you are using rear park
assist, always check carefully behind your
vehicle before backing up and then watch
closely as you do.
