For vehicles with the Ultrasonic Rear Parking Assist
(URPA) system, it operates at speeds less than 8 km/h
(5 mph), 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 2.5 m (8 ft) behind the vehicle, and at least
25.4 cm (10 in) off the ground.
