The display is located
near the passenger side
rear window and can
be seen by looking over
your right shoulder.
The display has three color-coded lights. The
URPA lights are used to provide distance and
system information, along with beeps that will be
heard through the speakers.
URPA can be turned off
by pressing the rear
park aid disable button
located next to the
radio. The indicator will
illuminate to indicate
that URPA is off.The red light in the URPA display will also be lit if
the vehicle is in REVERSE (R). If the vehicle
has a DIC, PARKING ASSIST OFF will display.
URPA automatically turns back on each time
the vehicle is started.
How the System Works
When the shift lever is moved into REVERSE (R),
the rear display will briey come on to let you
know the display is operating correctly. URPA
comes on automatically when the shift lever
is moved into REVERSE (R). The system also
does not work at a reverse speed greater than
5 mph (8 km/h). To remind you of this, the red light
on the rear display will ash.
The system can be disabled using the Driver
Information Center (DIC). SeeDIC Operation and
Displays on page 245.
215

How the System Works when Backing
If the shift lever is in REVERSE (R), URPA
detects objects close to the rear bumper. The rst
time an object is detected a single beep will
sound. If an object is detected at a REVERSE (R)
speed between 0 mph (0 km/h) and 5 mph
(8 km/h), the following describes what will occur
based on your distance to a detected object
located behind the vehicle:
At distances between 40 inches (1 m) and
8 ft (2.5 m), a single amber light will
come on.
At distances between 23 inches (0.6 m) and
40 inches (1 m), both amber lights will be on.
At distances between 12 inches (0.3 m) and
23 inches (0.6 m), all three lights (amber/
amber/red) will be on.
At distances less than 12 inches (0.3 m), a
beeping sound will repeat for a short time and
all three lights (amber/amber/red) will be on and
ashing.
When the System Does Not Seem to
Work Properly
If the URPA 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 URPA display
when the shift lever is moved into REVERSE (R).
This occurs under the following conditions:
The driver disables the system. SeeDIC
Operation and Displays on page 245.
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 into REVERSE (R). If this occurs, URPA
assumes the object is still attached, so you will
have to wait until the vehicle is driven forward
above 15 mph (25 km/h) before URPA will
return to normal operation.
216

The ultrasonic sensors are not kept clean. So,
be sure to keep your vehicle’s rear bumper free
of mud, dirt, snow, ice, and slush. For cleaning
instructions, seeWashing Your Vehicle on
page 500. If the DIC still displays the PARKING
ASSIST OFF message after cleaning the
bumper and driving forward at a speed of at
least 15 mph (25 km/h), see your dealer.
Other conditions that may affect system
performance include vibrations from a
jackhammer or the compression of air brakes
on a very large truck or other mechanical
devices that interfere with URPA performance.
When URPA is disabled without driver action
and the driver attempts to turn URPA back on
by pressing the rear park aid button, the
indicator light will ash for 3 seconds and then
stay lit to indicate that URPA is off.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.
For Driver Information Center messages related to
URPA, seeDIC Warnings and Messages on
page 250.
If the bumper is damaged, your URPA system
may not work properly. Take the vehicle to
your dealer to repair the system.

Climate Controls
Dual Automatic Climate Control
System
With this system, you can control the heating,
cooling, and ventilation in your vehicle. Your
vehicle also has a ow-through ventilation system
described later in this section.
You can select different climate control settings for
the driver and passengers.
Driver’s Side Temperature Knob
The driver’s side knob is used to adjust the
temperature of the air coming through the system
on the driver’s side. The temperature can be
adjusted even if the system is turned off. This is
possible since outside air will always ow through
the system as the vehicle is moving forward
unless it is set to recirculation mode. See
“Recirculation” later in this section.
Turn the knob counterclockwise or clockwise to
lower or increase the cabin temperature. The
display will show the temperature setting
decreasing or increasing.
Passenger’s Side Temperature Knob
The passenger’s side knob can be used to change
the temperature of the air coming through the
system on the passenger’s side of the vehicle. The
temperature can be adjusted even if the system
is turned off. This is possible since outside air will
always ow through the system as the vehicle
is moving forward unless it is set to recirculation
mode. See “Recirculation” later in this section.
