If the URPA Display Flashes Red
If the URPA system is not functioning properly, the
display will ¯ash red, indicating that there is a problem.
The light will also ¯ash red while driving if any of the
following conditions exist:
·A trailer or trailer-hitch ball mount is attached to
your vehicle.
·A bicycle or object is on the back of, or hanging out
the cargo area.
·If your vehicle is moving in REVERSE (R) at a
speed greater than 3 mph (5 km/h).
The light will continue to ¯ash until the trailer or the
object is removed and your vehicle is driven forward at
least 15 mph (25 km/h).
It may also ¯ash red if the ultrasonic sensors are not
kept clean.So be sure to keep your rear bumper free of mud, dirt,
snow, ice and slush or materials such as paint or
the system may not work properly. If after cleaning the
rear bumper and driving forward at least 15 mph
(25 km/h), the display continues to ¯ash red, see your
dealer. For cleaning instructions, see
Cleaning the
Outside of Your Vehicle on page 5-97.
Other conditions that may affect system performance
include things like the vibrations from a jackhammer or
the compression of air brakes on a very large truck.
As always, drivers should use care when backing up a
vehicle. Always look behind you, being sure to check
for other vehicles, obstructions and blind spots.
