How The System Works - Chevrolet 2008 Silverado 1500 Pickup Owner's Manual

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.

How the System Works

URPA comes on automatically when the shift lever
is moved into R (Reverse). The rear display briefly
illuminates to indicate the system is working.
URPA operates only at speeds less than 5 mph
(8 km/h). If the vehicle is above this speed,
the red light on the rear display will flash.
The display is located near
the passenger side rear
window and can be seen
by looking over your right
shoulder.
