Object Detection Systems { CAUTION: Ultrasonic Front and Rear Parking Assist (UFRPA) For vehicles with the Ultrasonic Front and Rear Parking Assist (UFRPA) system, it operates at speeds less than 5mph (8 km/h), and assists the driver with parking and avoiding objects. It can determine how close objects are to the front bumper, up to 4 feet (1.2 m) in front of the vehicle and the rear bumper, up to 8 feet (2.5 m) behind the vehicle. The distance sensors are located on the front and rear bumper. The Ultrasonic Front and Rear Park Assist (UFRPA) system does not replace driver vision. It cannot detect: • objects that are below the bumper, underneath the vehicle, or if they are too close or far from the vehicle • children, pedestrians, bicyclists, or pets. If you do not use proper care before moving forward and while backing; vehicle damage, injury, or death could occur. Even with UFRPA, always check in front of your vehicle before moving forward and behind your vehicle before backing up. While moving forward and backing, be sure to look for objects and check your vehicle's mirrors. 2-42
