2007 CHEVROLET UPLANDER light

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.
Accessory Power Outlet(s)
Your vehicle may be equipped with a front
accessory power outlet located below the climate
controls on the instrument panel. It can be
used to plug in electrical equipment such as a
cellular telephone or CB radio.
Pull the cover down to use the accessory power
outlet. When not in use, keep the cover on.
The rear accessory power outlet is located on the
rear compartment on the driver’s side.
To remove the cover, pull the tab on the cover
and pull it off. To put the cover back on, line up the
tabs at the back of the cover and put the cover
in place. Push down the tab to secure the cover.
When not in use, always cover the rear
accessory power outlet with the protective cap.
Notice:Leaving electrical equipment on
for extended periods will drain the battery.

in use and do not plug in equipment that
exceeds the maximum amperage rating of
20 amperes.

The power outlet is
located behind the third
row seats on the
passenger’s side rear
quarter trim panel.
The power outlet is not designed for the following
electrical equipment and may not work properly
if these items are plugged into the power outlet:
Equipment with high initial peak wattage
such as: compressor-driven refrigerators
and electric power tools.
Other equipment requiring an extremely stable
power supply such as:
microcomputer-controlled electric blankets,
touch sensor lamps, etc.
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.

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.

fog or moisture and warm the passengers. Use
the defrost mode to remove fog or frost from
the windshield more quickly.

windshield and the oor outlets. When you select
this mode, 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.Do not drive the vehicle until all the windows
are clear.
