Ultrasonic Rear Parking Assist (Urpa) - GMC 2007 Yukon Denali Owner's Manual

Ultrasonic Rear Parking Assist
(URPA)
The Ultrasonic Rear Parking Assist (URPA)
system is designed to help you park while in
Reverse (R). It operates only at speeds less than
5 mph (8 km/h). URPA helps make parking
easier and helps you avoid colliding with objects
such as parked vehicles. The URPA system
detects objects that are close to the rear of 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 8 feet (2.5 m)
behind your vehicle. URPA determines how close
these objects are from your bumper within this
area. Ultrasonic sensors on the rear bumper are
used to detect the distance to the object.

CAUTION:
{
The Ultrasonic Rear Park Assist (URPA)
system does not replace driver vision.
URPA does not:
•
Operate above speeds of
5 mph (8 km/h).
•
Detect objects more than 8 feet
(2.5 meters) behind the vehicle.
This distance may be less during
warmer or humid weather.
•
Detect objects that are below the
bumper, underneath the vehicle, or
that are very close to the vehicle.
•
Detect children, pedestrians,
bicyclists, or pets.
So if you do not use proper care before
backing up, you could hit a vehicle, child,
pedestrian, bicyclist, or pet, resulting in
vehicle damage, injury, or death. Even
though the vehicle has the URPA system,
always check carefully before backing up
by checking behind your vehicle.
