The URPA display is located inside the vehicle, above
the rear window. It has three color-coded lights that can
be seen through the rearview mirror.
{CAUTION:
Even with the Ultrasonic Rear Park Assist
system, the driver must check carefully before
backing up. The system does not operate
above typical backing speeds of 3 mph
(5 km/h) while parking. And, the system
doesn't detect objects that are more than
5 feet (1.5 meters) behind the vehicle.
So, unless you check carefully behind you
before and when you back up, you could strike
children, pedestrians, bicyclists or pets behind
you, and they could be injured or killed.
Whether or not you are using Rear Park Assist,
always check carefully behind your vehicle
before you back up and then watch closely as
you do.
How the System Works
Ultrasonic rear parking assist comes on automatically
when the shift lever is moved into REVERSE (R) and the
vehicle speed is less than 3 mph (5 km/h). When the
system comes on, the three lights on the display
will illuminate to let you know that the system is working.
URPA senses how close your vehicle is to an object.
The distance is determined by the four rear sensors
located on the bumper. When shifting into REVERSE (R)
and an object is detected, one of the following will
occur:
·At 5 ft. (1.5 m) an amber light will come on.
·At 40 in. (1.0 m) two amber lights will come on.
·At 20 in. (0.5 m) two amber lights and a red light will
come on and a continuous chime will sound.
·At 1 ft. (0.3 m) the chime will still be going
continuously and all three lights will ¯ash.
A chime will sound the ®rst time an object is detected, if
the object is between 20 inches (0.5 m) and 5 feet
(1.5 m) away.
URPA can detect objects 3 inches (7.6 cm) and wider,
and at least 10 inches (2.5 cm) tall, but cannot detect
objects that are above trunk level. In order for the rear
sensors to recognize an object, it must be within
operating range.
