Object Detection Systems

Ultrasonic Rear Parking
Assist (URPA)
If your vehicle has the Ultrasonic Rear Parking Assist
(URPA) system, it helps you park easier and avoid other
vehicles while in REVERSE (R). It operates at speeds
less than 5 mph (8 km/h). It can determine how close
objects are to the rear bumper, up to 8 feet (2.5 m)
behind your vehicle. The distance sensors are located
on the rear bumper.
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.
CAUTION: (Continued)
CAUTION: (Continued)
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.
If your vehicle has the display, there are three
color-coded lights to provide distance and system
information.
If your vehicle does not have the display and it has
URPA, you will hear the beeps as described in the
following information.
On some vehicles this
display is located near
the passenger side
rear window and can be
seen by looking over
your right shoulder.
