Object Detection Systems
Ultrasonic Front and Rear Parking
Assist (UFRPA)
For vehicles with the Ultrasonic Front and Rear Parking
Assist (UFRPA) system, it operates at speeds less
than 5mph (8 km/h), and assists the driver with parking
and avoiding objects. It can determine how close
objects are to the front bumper, up to 4 feet (1.2 m)
in front of the vehicle and the rear bumper, up to
8 feet (2.5 m) behind the vehicle. The distance sensors
are located on the front and rear bumper.
{CAUTION:
The Ultrasonic Front and Rear Park Assist
(UFRPA) system does not replace driver vision.
It cannot detect:
objects that are below the bumper,
underneath the vehicle, or if they are too
close or far from the vehicle
children, pedestrians, bicyclists, or pets.
If you do not use proper care before moving
forward and while backing; vehicle damage, injury,
or death could occur. Even with UFRPA, always
check in front of your vehicle before moving
forward and behind your vehicle before backing
up. While moving forward and backing, be sure to
look for objects and check your vehicle’s mirrors.

Headlamps on Reminder
A warning chime will sound if the exterior lamp control
is left on in either the headlamp or parking lamp position
and the driver’s door is opened with the ignition off.
Daytime Running Lamps (DRL)
Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) can make it easier for
others to see the front of your vehicle during the day.
Fully functional daytime running lamps are required
on all vehicles rst sold in Canada.
The DRL system makes the turn signal lamps come on
when the following conditions are met:
It is still daylight and the ignition is on.
The exterior lamp control is in the off position.
The transmission is not in P (Park)
(United States only).
The light sensor is covered or not detecting light.
See “Sensors” underDual Climate Control System
on page 3-40.
When DRL are on, no other exterior lamps such as the
parking lamps, taillamps, etc. will be on when the DRL
are being used. The instrument panel will not be lit
up either.When automatic lighting is on and it is dark enough
outside, the turn signal lamps turn off and normal
low-beam headlamp operation occurs.
When automatic lighting is on and it is bright enough
outside, the regular lamps go off, and the DRL takes over.
If the vehicle is started in a dark garage, the automatic
headlamp system comes on immediately. Once you
leave the garage, it will take approximately one minute
for the automatic headlamp system to change to DRL if
there is light outside. During that delay, the instrument
panel cluster may not be as bright as usual. Make sure
the instrument panel brightness knob is in the full bright
position. SeeInstrument Panel Brightness on page 3-34.
Turning on automatic lighting or the headlamps will
deactivate the DRL. If the parking lamps or the fog lamps
were turned on instead, the DRL will still deactivate.
To idle the vehicle with the DRL off at night, turn off
automatic lighting and shift the transmission into P (Park).
Placing the vehicle in P (Park) disables the DRL. The
DRL will stay off until the vehicle is shifted out of P (Park).
To drive the vehicle with the DRL off, turn off automatic
lighting and manually turn on the parking lamps or
fog lamps, if the vehicle has them.
The regular headlamp system should be turned on
when needed.
