The front display is located on top of the instrumentpanel to the right of the driver. The front display will haveeither three or six lights to provide distance andsystem information. With Adaptive Cruise control (ACC),it will have three lights along with the ACC lights.Without ACC, it will have six lights. High-toned beepsfrom the front speakers are for objects detected near thefront bumper.
The rear display is located near the rear window andcan be seen by looking over your right shoulder.The rear display uses three color-coded lights to providedistance and system information. Low-toned beepsfrom the rear speakers are for the rear bumper.
How the System Works
UFRPA comes on automatically when the shift lever ismoved out of P (Park). The system does not work at aforward or reverse speed greater than 5 mph (8 km/h).
To be detected, objects must be at least 25.4 cm (10 in.)off the ground and below hood or trunk level. Objectsmust also be within 1.2 m (4 ft.) in front of thevehicle and 2.5 m (8 ft.) from the rear bumper. Thisdistance may be less during warmer or humid weather.
When backing up, if objects are detected at thesame time near both the front and rear bumpers, bothcolor-coded light displays will notify you of objects closeto each bumper. If there are objects detected nearboth bumpers, the beeps will only be sounded to notifythat objects are close to the rear bumper. However,if while the vehicle is backing up and an object comeswithin 0.3 m (1 ft.) of the front bumper, and at the sametime there is another object further than 0.3 m (1 ft.)from the rear bumper, then the beeps will only besounded to notify you of the closer object that is nearthe front bumper.
The system can be disabled using the Driver InformationCenter (DIC). See “Parking Assist” underDIC Operationand Displays on page 4-62for more information.
