Ultrasonic Front and Rear Parking Assist (UFRPA) If your vehicle is equipped, the Ultrasonic Front and Rear Parking Assist (UFRPA) system is designed to help you park. It operates only at speeds less than 5 mph (8km/h). UFRPA helps make parking easier and helps you avoid colliding with objects such as parked vehicles. The UFRPA system detects objects that are close to 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 4 feet (1.2 m) in front of the vehicle and up to 8 feet (2.5 m) behind your vehicle. UFRPA determines how close these objects are from your bumpers within this area. Four ultrasonic sensors on the front and rear bumpers are used to detect the distance to the object. {CAUTION: Even with the Ultrasonic Front and Rear Park Assist system, the driver must check carefully before backing up or moving forward while parking. The system does not operate above speeds of 5 mph (8 km/h). The system does not detect objects that are more than 4 feet (1.2 meters) in front of the vehicle and more than 8 feet (2.5 meters) behind the vehicle. Also, the system does not detect objects that are below your bumper, underneath your vehicle, or some objects very close to the vehicle. The system is not designed to detect children, pedestrians, bicyclists, or pets. So, unless you check carefully behind and in front of your vehicle while you are parking they could be injured or killed. Whether or not you are using front park assist, always check carefully behind your vehicle before moving backing up and then watch closely and rear in front and forward or as you do. 3-38
