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 clean. Keep your
vehicle’s rear bumper free of mud, dirt, snow,
ice and slush. For cleaning instructions, see
Washing Your Vehicle on page 5-102.
•
A trailer was attached to your vehicle, or a bicycle
or an object was hanging out of your tailgate
during your last drive cycle, the red light may
illuminate in the rear display. Once the attached
object is removed, URPA 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.
