Ultrasonic Rear Parking Assist
(URPA)
The Ultrasonic Rear Parking Assist (URPA) system
is designed to help you park, while the vehicle is in
REVERSE (R). It operates only at very low speeds, less
than
3 mph (5 km/h). URPA can help make parking
easier and to help you avoid colliding with objects such as
parked vehicles. The URPA system can detect objects
up to
5 feet (1.5 m) behind the vehicle, and tell you how
close these objects are from your rear bumper.
Your vehicle’s URPA operates when the shift lever is
moved into REVERSE (R) and the vehicle speed is less
than
3 mph (5 km/h). Four ultrasonic sensors located
at the rear bumper are used to detect the distance to the
object. The URPA display is located inside the vehicle,
near the rear window. It has three color-coded lights
used to provide distance and system information to
the driver.

vehicle,
RPA won’t tell you they are there.
You could strike them and they could be

URPA, check carefully behind your vehicle and
then watch closely whenever you back
up.

system is disabled

on the switch. You will
not see any lights on the
rear display

is in the
off position.
