WARNING
The Ultrasonic Rear Parking
Assist (URPA) 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 and while backing; vehicle
damage, injury, or death could
occur. Even with URPA, always
check behind the vehicle before
backing up. While backing, be
sure to look for objects and check
the vehicle's mirrors.
The display is located in the
headliner.
URPA uses three color-coded lights
to provide distance and system
information.
How the System Works
URPA comes on automatically and
the display briefly illuminates to
indicate the system is working when
the shift lever is moved into
R (Reverse).
If the vehicle is traveling faster then
8 km/h (5 mph) in reverse, the red
light on the rear display flashes.
Objects must be at least 20 cm (8 in)
off the ground, below liftgate level,
and within 2.5 m (8 ft) from the rear
bumper to be detected. The
distance may be less during warmer
or humid weather.
A single beep sounds the first time
an object is detected between 0.6 m
(23 in) and 2.5 m (8 ft) away.
Beeping occurs continuously when
the vehicle is 0.6 m (23 in) or closer
to an object.
