Object Detection Systems

Ultrasonic Rear Parking
Assist (URPA)
For vehicles with the URPA system, it operates at speeds
less than 3 mph (5 km/h), and assists the driver with
parking and avoiding objects while in R (Reverse).
The sensors on the rear bumper are used to detect the
distance to an object up to 5 feet (1.5 m) behind the
vehicle, and at least 10 inches (25.4 cm) off the ground.
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 the
vehicle before backing up. While backing, be sure
to look for objects and check the vehicle's mirrors.
URPA uses three color-coded lights to provide distance
and system information.
The display is located
between the driver and
passenger seatbacks.
