When the System Does Not Seem to
Work Properly
•
The driver disables the system.
•
The parking brake pedal is depressed.
•
The ultrasonic sensors are not kept clean. So be
sure to keep your vehicle’s front and rear bumpers
free of mud, dirt, snow, ice and slush. For cleaning
instructions, see Washing Your Vehicle on
page 5-90.
•
A trailer was attached to your vehicle, or a bicycle or
an object was hanging out of your trunk during your
last drive cycle, the red light may illuminate in the
rear display. Once the attached object is removed,
UFRPA will return to normal operation.
•
A tow bar is attached to your vehicle.
•
The vehicle’s bumper is damaged. Take the vehicle
to your dealer/retailer to repair the system.
•
Other conditions may affect system performance,
such as vibrations from a jackhammer or the
compression of air brakes on a very large truck.
If the system is still disabled after driving forward at
least 15 mph (25 km/h), take your vehicle to your
dealer/retailer.
Side Blind Zone Alert
Your vehicle may have a Side Blind Zone Alert (SBZA)
system. Read this entire section before using the system.
{
CAUTION:
The Side Blind Zone Alert (SBZA) system
does not detect vehicles outside the side blind
zones, which may be rapidly approaching.
SBZA is not designed to detect pedestrians,
bicyclists, or animals. SBZA is only a lane
change aid. If you do not use proper care
before changing lanes, vehicle damage, injury,
or death could occur. Even with SBZA, always
check your vehicle’s mirrors, glance over your
shoulder, and start your turn signal before
changing lanes.
The SBZA system is an aid that may help you
avoid lane change crashes with vehicles in your
side blind spots (zones). When the system detects
a vehicle in the side blind zone, amber SBZA
displays will light up in your side mirrors.
