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 and rear
park assist, always check carefully in front and
behind your vehicle before moving forward or
backing up and then watch closely as you do.
