2007 BUICK TERRAZA light

{CAUTION:
The Ultrasonic Rear Park Assist (URPA)
system does not replace driver vision.
URPA does not:
Operate above speeds of
3 mph (5 km/h).
Detect objects more than 5 feet
(1.5 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.URPA can be turned off
by pressing the rear
park aid disable switch
located in the
overhead console
switchbank.
While the system is disabled, an indicator light
will be lit on the switch. You will not see any
lights on the rear display if the switch is in the
off position.

How the System Works
Unless disabled, the URPA will turn on
automatically when the shift lever is moved into
REVERSE (R). When the system turns on, the
three lights on the display will illuminate for one and
a half seconds to let you know that the system is
working. If your vehicle is moving in REVERSE (R)
at a speed greater than 3 mph (5 km/h), the red
light will ash to remind you that the system does
not work at speed greater than 3 mph (5 km/h).
If an object is detected at a REVERSE (R) speed
of less than 3 mph (5 km/h), one of the following
will occur:
Description English Metric
amber light 5 ft 1.5 m
amber/amber lights 40 in 1.0 m
amber/amber/red lights &
continuous chime20 in 0.5 m
amber/amber/
red lights ashing &
continuous chime1 ft 0.3 m
A chime will sound the rst time an object
is detected between 20 inches (0.5 m) and
5 feet (1.5 m) away.URPA cannot detect objects that are above liftgate
level. In order for the rear sensors to recognize
an object, it must be within detection range behind
the vehicle.
When the System Does Not Seem to
Work Properly
The light may ash red when the vehicle is in
REVERSE (R) if the ultrasonic sensors are
not kept clean. So be sure to keep your rear
bumper free of mud, dirt, snow, ice and slush.
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. If after cleaning the
rear bumper and then driving forward at least
15 mph (25 km/h), the display continues to ash
red, see your dealer.
If a trailer was attached to your vehicle, or a
bicycle or an object was on the back of, or hanging
out of your liftgate during your last drive cycle,
the light may also ash red. The light will continue
to ash whenever in REVERSE (R) until your
vehicle is driven forward at least 15 mph (25 km/h)
without any obstructions behind the vehicle.

Cigarette Lighter
Your vehicle may have a cigarette lighter.
To use the lighter, located on the instrument
panel below the climate controls, push it in all
the way and let go. When it is ready, it will
pop back out by itself.
Notice:Holding a cigarette lighter in while it
is heating will not allow the lighter to back
away from the heating element when it is hot.
Damage from overheating may occur to the
lighter or heating element, or a fuse could be
blown. Do not hold a cigarette lighter in
while it is heating.
Notice:If you put papers, pins, or other
ammable items in the ashtray, hot cigarettes
or other smoking materials could ignite
them and possibly damage your vehicle.
Never put ammable items in the ashtray.

To change the current mode, select one of the
following:
H(Vent):This mode directs air to the instrument
panel outlets.
)(Bi-Level):This mode directs half of the air
to the instrument panel outlets, then directs
the remaining air to the oor outlets. Cooler air is
directed to the upper outlets and warmer air to
the oor outlets.
6(Floor):This mode directs most of the air to
the oor outlets. Use this mode to send air to
the rear of the vehicle. Keep the area under the
front seats free of objects that could obstruct
airow to the rear of the vehicle.
The right knob can also be used to select defog
or defrost mode. For more information, see
“Defogging and Defrosting” later in this section.
Outside Air:This mode will be automatically
selected when your vehicle is in any mode except
maximum air conditioning.
A(Fan):Turn the left knob clockwise or
counterclockwise to increase or decrease the fan
speed. Turn the knob to 0 to turn off the fan.
The fan must be turned on for the air conditioning
compressor to operate.
Temperature Control:Turn the center knob
clockwise or counterclockwise to increase or
decrease the air temperature inside your vehicle.
#(Air Conditioning):Press this button to turn
the air-conditioning system on or off. When it is

performance when the air conditioning compressor
shuts off and turns on again. This is normal.
The system is designed to make adjustments to
help with fuel economy while still maintaining
the selected temperature.
On hot days, open the windows to let hot inside
air escape; then close them. This helps to reduce
the time it takes for your vehicle to cool down.
It also helps the system to operate more efficiently.

0(Defrost):This mode directs most of the
air to the windshield and the side window outlets,
with some air directed to the oor outlets.
In this mode, the system will automatically run
the air-conditioning compressor, unless the
outside temperature is at or below freezing.
Recirculation cannot be selected while in the

Defogging and Defrosting
Fog on the inside of windows is a result of high
humidity, or moisture, condensing on the cool
window glass. This can be minimized if the
climate control system is used properly. There
are two modes to clear fog or frost from your
windshield. Use the defog mode to clear
the windows of fog or moisture and warm the
passengers. Use the defrost mode to remove
fog or frost from the windshield more quickly.
Turn the right knob to select the defog or
defrost mode.
-(Defog):This mode directs air to the
windshield and the oor outlets. When this mode
is selected, the system runs the air conditioning
compressor unless the outside temperature is
at or below freezing.
The recirculation mode cannot be selected while
in the defog mode.
0(Defrost):This mode directs most of the air
to the windshield and the side window outlets,
with some air directed to the oor outlets. In this
mode, the system will automatically run the
air conditioning compressor, unless the outside
temperature is at or below freezing.Recirculation cannot be selected while in the
defrost mode.
