Cadillac 2006 DTS Automobile User Manual


 
When you are backing the vehicle and objects are
detected at the same time near both the front and rear
bumpers, both color-coded light displays will notify
you of objects close to each bumper. If there are objects
detected near both bumpers, the beeps will only be
sounded to notify that objects are close to the rear
bumper. However, if while you are backing and an object
comes within 1 ft (0.3 m) of the front bumper, and at
the same time there is another object further than
1 ft (0.3 m) from the rear bumper, then the beeps will
only be sounded to notify you of the closer object that is
near the front bumper.
When the System Does Not Seem to
Work Properly
If the UFRPA system will not activate due to a temporary
condition, the message PARKING ASSIST OFF will
be displayed on the DIC and a red light will be shown on
the rear UFRPA display when the shift lever is moved
into REVERSE (R). This occurs under the following
conditions:
The driver disables the system. See DIC Controls
and Displays on page 3-72.
The parking brake pedal is depressed.
A trailer was attached to your vehicle, or a bicycle
or an object was hanging out of your trunk during
your last drive when you turned off the vehicle. If the
attached objects are removed from your vehicle
before the start of your next drive, the system will
return to normal operation unless an object is
detected when the vehicle is shifted out of park. If
this occurs, you will have to wait until the vehicle is
driven forward above 15 mph (25 km/h) before
UFRPA will return to normal operation.
A bicycle or an object is attached to the front
bumper during your last drive when you turned off
the vehicle. If the attached objects are removed
from your vehicle before the start of your next drive,
the system will return to normal unless an object
is detected when the vehicle is shifted out of park.
If this occurs, UFRPA will return to normal
operation when the vehicle is driven forward
above 15 mph (25 km/h).
The ultrasonic sensors are not kept clean. So be
sure to keep your vehicle’s front and rear bumpers
free of mud, dirt, snow, ice and slush. For
cleaning instructions, see Washing Your Vehicle on
page 5-86. If after cleaning the front and rear
bumpers and driving forward at a speed of at least
15 mph (25 km/h), the DIC displays the PARKING
ASSIST OFF message, see your dealer.
