Driving and Operating 9-49 Object Detection Systems Ultrasonic Parking Assist If available, the Ultrasonic Rear Parking Assist (URPA) system uses sensors on the rear bumper to assist with parking and avoiding objects while in R (Reverse). 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 time between the beeps gets shorter as the vehicle approaches the obstacle. A continuous tone is heard when the distance is less than 30 cm (12 in). To be detected, objects must be at least 25 cm (10 in) off the ground and below liftgate level. Objects must also be within 2.5 m (8 ft) from the rear bumper. This distance may be less during warmer or humid weather. Turning the System On and Off Press this button, located next to the radio, to disable URPA. The indicator light comes on and PARK ASSIST OFF displays on the Driver Information Center (DIC). See Object Detection System Messages on page 5‑39. { WARNING The URPA system does not detect children, pedestrians, bicyclists, animals, or objects below the bumper or that are too close or too far from the vehicle. It is not available at speeds greater than 8 km/h (5 mph). To prevent injury, death, or vehicle damage, even with URPA, always check the area around the vehicle and check all mirrors before backing. When the System Does Not Seem to Work Properly The following messages may be displayed on the DIC: SERVICE PARK ASSIST: this message occurs, take the vehicle to your dealer for repair.
