Object Detection Systems {CAUTION: Ultrasonic Front and Rear Parking Assist (UFRPA) If your vehicle has the Ultrasonic Front and Rear Parking Assist (UFRPA) system, it helps you park easier and helps you avoid colliding with objects such as parked vehicles. It operates at speeds less than 5 mph (8 km/h). It can determine how close objects are to the front bumper, up to 4 feet (1.2 m) in front of your vehicle and the rear bumper, up to 8 feet (2.5 m) behind your 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. 2-44
