How The System Works - Cadillac 2008 Escalade EXT Owner's Manual

How the System Works

URPA comes on automatically when the shift lever is
moved into REVERSE (R). The rear display will then
briefly illuminate to let you know the system is working.
URPA operates only at speeds less than 5 mph (8 km/h).
If you are 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 Midgate
level. Objects must also be within 8 feet (2.5 m) from
your 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 8 feet (2.5 m)
away. Beeping will occur for three seconds when
you are closer than 1 foot (0.3 m) from the object.
The following describes what will occur with the
URPA display as you get closer to a detected object:
amber/amber lights
amber/amber/red lights

/tailgate flashing and beep
for three seconds
Notice: If you use URPA while the tailgate is
lowered, it may not detect an object behind your
vehicle, and you might back into the object and
damage your vehicle. Always verify the tailgate is
closed when using URPA or turn off URPA when
driving with the tailgate lowered.
