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 532. 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
using the Driver Information Center (DIC), the
PARKING ASSIST ON option will not be
selectable if the necessary conditions stated
above for normal system operation are not met.
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 254.
If the bumper is damaged, your URPA system
may not work properly. Take the vehicle to
your dealer to repair the system.
Accessory Power Outlet(s)
With accessory power outlets you can plug in
auxiliary electrical equipment, such as a cellular
telephone or CB radio.
Your vehicle will have two accessory power
outlets under the climate controls, one on the back
of the oor console and a additional accessory
power outlet in the rear cargo area on the
passenger side.
To use the power outlet, lift the spring cap and
insert electrical 12V device plug. To close
the power outlet, remove 12V electrical device
plug and the spring cap will close.
Certain power accessory plugs may not be
compatible to the accessory power outlet and
could result in blown adapter or vehicle fuses.
