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.
URPA uses three color-coded lights to provide distance
and system information.
The display is located
above the rear window and
can be seen by looking
over your right shoulder.
