How the System Works when Moving
Forward
When moving forward, the system detects objects
only near the front bumper.
If an object is detected at a forward speed of
less than 5 mph (8 km/h), or if you are already
within a 4 ft (1.2 m) distance to a detected object
when UFRPA rst comes on, the following
describes what will occur according to your
distance from an object located in front of the
vehicle:
At distances between 40 inches (1 m) and
4 ft (1.2 m), two amber lights will be lit. If
you have Adaptive Cruise Control, a single
amber light will be lit.
At distances between 23 inches (0.6 m) and
40 inches (1 m), four amber lights will be lit.
If you have Adaptive Cruise Control, two
amber lights will be lit.
At distances between 12 inches (0.3 m) and
23 inches (0.6 m), all six lights (four amber
lights/two red lights) will be lit. If you have
Adaptive Cruise Control, all three lights
(amber/amber/red) will be lit.
At distances less than 12 inches (0.3 m),
a chime will sound for a short time and all
six lights (four amber lights/two red lights)
will be lit and ashing. If you have Adaptive
Cruise Control (ACC), a chime will sound for
a short time and all three lights (two amber
lights/one red light) will be lit and ashing.
How the System Works when Backing
When backing, UFRPA detects objects close
to the front and rear bumpers. The rst time an
object is detected a single chime will sound. If an
object is detected at a REVERSE (R) speed of
less than 5 mph (8 km/h), or if you are already
within an 8 ft (2.5 m) distance to a detected object
when the system rst comes on, the following
describes what will occur according to your
distance from an object located behind the vehicle:
At distances between 40 inches (1 m) and
8 ft (2.5 m), a single amber light will be lit.
At distances between 23 inches (0.6 m) and
40 inches (1 m), both amber lights will be lit.
At distances between 12 inches (0.3 m) and
23 inches (0.6 m), all three lights (amber/
amber/red) will be lit.
205

At distances less than 12 inches (0.3 m), a
chime will sound for a short time and all three
lights (amber/amber/red) will be lit and ashing.
When you are backing the vehicle and objects are
detected at the same time near both the front
and rear bumpers, both color-coded light displays
will notify you of objects close to each bumper.
If there are objects detected near both bumpers,
the beeps will only be sounded to notify that
objects are close to the rear bumper. However,
if while you are backing and an object comes
within 1 ft (0.3 m) of the front bumper, and at the
same time there is another object further than
1 ft (0.3 m) from the rear bumper, then the beeps
will only be sounded to notify you of the closer
object that is near the front bumper.When the System Does Not Seem to
Work Properly
If the UFRPA system will not activate due to a
temporary condition, the message PARKING
ASSIST OFF will be displayed on the DIC and a
red light will be shown on the rear UFRPA display
when the shift lever is moved into REVERSE (R).
This occurs under the following conditions:
The driver disables the system. SeeDIC
Controls and Displays on page 240.
The parking brake pedal is depressed.
A trailer was attached to your vehicle, or a
bicycle or an object was hanging out of your
trunk during your last drive when you turned off
the vehicle. If the attached objects are removed
from your vehicle before the start of your next
drive, the system will return to normal operation
unless an object is detected when the vehicle is
shifted out of park. If this occurs, you will have
to wait until the vehicle is driven forward above
15 mph (25 km/h) before UFRPA will return to
normal operation.

Warning Lights, Gages, and
Indicators
This part describes the warning lights and gages on
your vehicle. The pictures help to locate them.
Warning lights and gages can signal that something
is wrong before it becomes serious enough to
cause an expensive repair or replacement. Paying
attention to the warning lights and gages could also
save you or others from injury.
Warning lights come on when there may be or is
a problem with one of your vehicle’s functions.
As the details show on the next few pages, some
warning lights come on briey when you start
the engine just to let you know they are working.
If you are familiar with this section, you should
not be alarmed when this happens.Gages can indicate when there may be or is a
problem with one of your vehicle’s functions.
Often gages and warning lights work together
to let you know when there is a problem with
your vehicle.
When one of the warning lights comes on and
stays on as you are driving, or when one of
the gages shows there may be a problem, check
the section that tells you what to do about it.
Please follow this manual’s advice. Waiting to
do repairs can be costly and even dangerous.
So please get to know your vehicle’s warning lights
and gages. They can be a big help.
Your vehicle may also have a Driver Information
Center (DIC) that works along with the warning
lights and gages. SeeDriver Information Center
(DIC) on page 240for more information.

{CAUTION:
Even though the passenger sensing
system is designed to turn off the
passenger’s frontal airbag and
seat-mounted side impact airbag if the
system detects a rear-facing child restraint,
no system is fail-safe, and no one can
guarantee that an airbag will not deploy
under some unusual circumstance, even
though it is turned off. We recommend that
rear-facing child restraints be secured in
the rear seat, even if the airbag is off.
If the word OFF or the off symbol is lit on the airbag
status indicator, it means that the passenger
sensing system has turned off the right front
passenger’s frontal airbag and seat-mounted side
impact airbag. SeePassenger Sensing System on
page 81for more on this, including important safety
information.If, after several seconds, all status indicator lights
remain on, or if there are no lights at all, there
may be a problem with the lights or the passenger
sensing system. See your dealer for service.
{CAUTION:
If the off indicator and the airbag
readiness light ever come on together,
it means that something may be wrong
with the airbag system. If this ever
happens, have the vehicle serviced
promptly, because an adult-size person
sitting in the right front passenger seat
may not have the protection of the
airbags. SeeAirbag Readiness Light
on page 226.
