Object Detection Systems
Ultrasonic Front and Rear Parking
Assist (UFRPA)
If your vehicle has the Ultrasonic Front and Rear Parking
Assist (UFRPA) system, it helps you park easier and
helps you avoid colliding with objects such as parked
vehicles. It operates at speeds less than 5 mph (8 km/h).
It can determine how close objects are to the front
bumper, up to 4 feet (1.2 m) in front of your vehicle and
the rear bumper, up to 8 feet (2.5 m) behind your vehicle.
The distance sensors are located on the front and rear
bumper.
{
CAUTION:
The Ultrasonic Front and Rear Park
Assist (UFRPA) 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.
If you do not use proper care before moving
forward and while backing; vehicle damage,
injury, or death could occur. Even with UFRPA,
always check in front of your vehicle before
moving forward and behind your vehicle
before backing up. While moving forward and
backing, be sure to look for objects and check
your vehicle’s mirrors.
