Ultrasonic Rear Parking
Assist (URPA)
Your vehicle may have the Ultrasonic Rear Parking
Assist (URPA) system. It is designed to help you
park while the vehicle is in REVERSE (R). It
operates only at very low speeds, less than 3 mph
(5 km/h). URPA can help make parking easier and
help you avoid colliding with objects such as parked
vehicles. The URPA system can detect objects up
to 5 feet (1.5 m) behind the vehicle, and tell you
how close these objects are from your rear bumper.
{CAUTION:
The Ultrasonic Rear Park Assist (URPA)
system does not replace driver vision.
URPA does not:
Operate above speeds of
3 mph (5 km/h).
Detect objects more than 5 feet
(1.5 meters) behind the vehicle. This
distance may be less during warmer
or humid weather.
Detect objects that are below the
bumper, underneath the vehicle, or
that are very close to the vehicle.
Detect children, pedestrians,
bicyclists, or pets.
So if you do not use proper care before
backing up, you could hit a vehicle, child,
pedestrian, bicyclist, or pet, resulting in
vehicle damage, injury, or death. Even
though the vehicle has the URPA system,
always check carefully before backing up
by checking behind your vehicle.
