Ultrasonic Rear Parking
Assist (URPA)
If your vehicle is equipped, the Ultrasonic Rear
Parking Assist (URPA) system is designed to help
you park while in REVERSE (R). It operates
only at speeds less than 5 mph (8 km/h). URPA
helps make parking easier and helps you
avoid colliding with objects such as parked
vehicles. The URPA system detects objects that
are close to the rear of the vehicle which are
at least 10 inches (25.4 cm) off the ground and
below hood or trunk level. The system detects
objects up to 8 feet (2.5 m) behind your vehicle.
URPA determines how close these objects
are from your bumper within this area. Ultrasonic
sensors on the rear bumper are used to detect
the distance to the object.
{CAUTION:
The Ultrasonic Rear Park Assist (URPA)
system does not replace driver vision.
URPA does not:
• Operate above speeds of
5 mph (8 km/h).
• Detect objects more than 8 feet
(2.5 meters) behind the vehicle.
This distance may be less during
warmer or humid weather.
• Detect objects that are below the
bumper, underneath the vehicle, or
that are very close to the vehicle.
• Detect children, pedestrians,
bicyclists, or pets.
So if you do not use proper care before
backing up, you could hit a vehicle, child,
pedestrian, bicyclist, or pet, resulting in
vehicle damage, injury, or death. Even
though the vehicle has the URPA system,
always check carefully before backing up
by checking behind your vehicle.
