This system detects objects coming from up to 20 m (65 ft) from the left or right side behind the vehicle. When an object is detected, either three beeps sound from the left or right side or three Safety Alert Seat pulses occur on the left or right side, depending on the direction of the detected vehicle. Use caution while backing up when towing a trailer, as the RCTA detection zones that extend out from the back of the vehicle do not move further back when a trailer is towed. URPA, and if equipped, also Front Park Assist, operates at speeds of less than 8 km/h (5 mph) and detects nearby objects within a zone 25 cm (10 in) high off the ground and below bumper level.
