Rear Vision
Camera (RVC)
The rear vision camera displays a
view of the area behind the vehicle
on either the navigation screen or
the inside rearview mirror when the
vehicle is shifted into R (Reverse).
Once shifted out of R (Reverse), the
navigation screen will go back to the last screen that had been displayed,
after a delay or the video image
automatically disappears from the
inside rearview mirror.
To clean the camera lens, located
above the license plate, rinse it with
water and wipe it with a soft cloth.

page 9‑48 for more information.
Ultrasonic Parking Assist

information.
Keep the sensors on the vehicle's
rear bumper clean to ensure proper
operation.

Systems
Ultrasonic Parking Assist
If available, the Ultrasonic Rear
Parking Assist (URPA) system
assists the driver with parking
and avoiding objects while in
R (Reverse). URPA operates at
speeds less than 8 km/h (5 mph).
The sensors on the rear bumper
detect objects up to 2.5 m (8 ft)
behind the vehicle, and at least
25 cm (10 in) off the ground.
{WARNING
The URPA system does not
detect pedestrians, bicyclists,
animals, or any other objects
located below the bumper or that
are too close or too far from the
vehicle. To prevent injury, death,
or vehicle damage, even with(Continued)
WARNING (Continued)
URPA, always check behind the
vehicle and check all mirrors
before backing.
How the System Works
URPA comes on automatically
when the shift lever is moved into
R (Reverse). A single tone sounds
to indicate the system is working.
URPA operates only at speeds less
than 8 km/h (5 mph).
An obstacle is indicated by audible
beeps. The interval between the
beeps becomes shorter as the
vehicle gets closer to the obstacle.
When the distance is less than
30 cm (12 in), the beeping is a
continuous tone for five seconds.
To be detected, objects must be at
least 25 cm (10 in) off the ground
and below trunk or liftgate level.
Objects must also be within 2.5 m (8 ft) of the rear bumper. This
distance may be less during warmer
or humid weather.
Turning the System On and Off
The system can be disabled through
the Driver Information Center (DIC).
See
“Parking Assist” underDriver
Information Center (DIC) on
page 5‑27 for more information.
URPA defaults to the on setting
each time the vehicle is started.
When the System Does Not
Seem to Work Properly
The following messages may be
displayed on the DIC:
PARKING ASSIST OFF: This
message occurs if the driver
disables the system or if vehicle is
driven above 8 km/h (5 mph) in
R (Reverse).
SERVICE PARKING ASSIST: If
this message occurs, take the
vehicle to your dealer to repair the
system.
