Seem to Work Properly

on page 5‑22 for more information.
This can occur under the following
conditions:
.The driver has disabled the
system.
.The ultrasonic sensors are not
clean. Keep the vehicle's rear
bumper free of mud, dirt, snow,
ice, and slush. For cleaning
instructions, see Exterior Care

covered by frost or ice, which
can occur after washing the
vehicle in cold weather. Keep
the sensors free of frost or ice.
.A trailer was attached to the
vehicle, or an object was
hanging out of the trunk during
the last drive cycle. Once the
object is removed, URPA will
return to normal operation.
.The vehicle's bumper is
damaged. Take the vehicle to
your dealer to repair the system.
.Other conditions may affect
system performance, such as
vibrations from a jackhammer or
the compression of air brakes on
a very large truck.
