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 3 mph (5 km/h).
It can determine how close objects are to the rear
bumper, up to 5 feet (1.5 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.
URPA uses three color-coded lights to provide
distance and system information.
The display is located
above the liftgate glass
and can be seen by
looking over your right
shoulder.
