How The System Works - Cadillac 2009 SRX Owner's Manual

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 3 mph
(5 km/h). If the vehicle is above this speed, the red
light on the rear display will flash.
To be detected, objects must be at least 10 inches
(25.4 cm) off the ground and below liftgate level.
Objects must also be within 5 feet (1.5 m) from the
rear bumper. This distance may be less during warmer
or humid weather.
A single beep will sound the first time an object is
detected between 20 inches (0.5 m) and 5 feet (1.5 m)
away. Beeping will occur for a short time when the
vehicle is closer than 1 foot (0.3 m) from the object.

The following describes what will occur with the URPA
display as the vehicle gets closer to a detected object:

and Displays on page 3-46.
