Ultrasonic Parking Assist

If available, the Ultrasonic Rear
Parking Assist (URPA) system
assists the driver with parking and
avoiding objects while in
R (Reverse). URPA operates at
speeds less than 8 km/h (5 mph).
The sensors on the rear bumper are
used to detect objects up to
2.5 m (8 ft) behind the vehicle, and
at least 25 cm (10 in) off the ground.

{

WARNING

The URPA system does not
detect pedestrians, bicyclists,
animals, or any other objects
located below the bumper or
that are too close or too far from
the vehicle. To prevent injury,
death, or vehicle damage, even
with URPA, always check behind
the vehicle and check all mirrors
before backing.

How the System Works

URPA comes on automatically
when the shift lever is moved into
R (Reverse). A single tone sounds
to indicate the system is working.

URPA operates only at speeds less
than 8 km/h (5 mph).

An obstacle is indicated by audible
beeps. The interval between the
beeps becomes shorter as the
vehicle gets closer to the obstacle.
When the distance is less than
30 cm (12 in) the beeping is a
continuous tone for five seconds.

To be detected, objects must be at
least 25 cm (10 in) off the ground
and below liftgate level. Objects
must also be within 2.5 m (8 ft) from
the rear bumper. This distance may
be less during warmer or humid
weather.
