Ultrasonic Rear Parking Assist
(URPA)
The Ultrasonic Rear Parking Assist (URPA)
system is designed to help you park while in
Reverse (R). It operates only at speeds less than
5 mph (8 km/h). URPA helps make parking
easier and helps you avoid colliding with objects
such as parked vehicles. The URPA system
detects objects that are close to the rear of 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 8 feet (2.5 m)
behind your vehicle. URPA determines how close
these objects are from your bumper within this
area. Ultrasonic sensors on the rear bumper are
used to detect the distance to the object.
{CAUTION:
Even with the Ultrasonic Rear Park Assist
system, the driver must check carefully
before backing up. The system does not
operate above speeds of 5 mph (8 km/h).
The system does not detect objects more
than 8 feet (2.5 meters) behind the vehicle.
This detection distance limit may be
reduced during warm weather or high
humidity. 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 your
vehicle while you are backing up, they
could be injured or killed.
Whether or not you are using rear park
assist, always check carefully behind your
vehicle before backing up and then watch
closely as you do.
