Ultrasonic Rear Parking
Assist (URPA)
The Ultrasonic Rear Parking Assist (URPA)
system 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.
CAUTION: (Continued)
CAUTION: (Continued)
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.
