Ultrasonic Rear Parking
Assist (URPA)
If your vehicle has the Ultrasonic Rear Parking
Assist (URPA) system it 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. The URPA sensors
determine how close these objects are from
your bumper within this area.
{
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.
