Ultrasonic Front And Rear Parking Assist (Ufrpa) - Cadillac 2007 DTS Owner's Manual

Ultrasonic Front and Rear Parking
Assist (UFRPA)
If your vehicle is equipped, the Ultrasonic Front and
Rear Parking Assist (UFRPA) system is designed
to help you park. It operates only at speeds less
than 5 mph (8km/h). UFRPA helps make parking
easier and helps you avoid colliding with objects
such as parked vehicles. The UFRPA system
detects objects that are close to the vehicle which
are at least 10 inches (25.4 cm) off the ground and
below hood or trunk level. The system detects
objects up to 4 feet (1.2 m) in front of the vehicle
and up to 8 feet (2.5 m) behind your vehicle.
UFRPA determines how close these objects are
from your bumpers within this area. Four ultrasonic
sensors on the front and rear bumpers are used to
detect the distance to the object.
