Buick 2009 Enclave - Manual (Page 98)

Outside Convex Mirror
{ CAUTION
A convex mirror can make things
(like other vehicles) look farther
away than they really are. If you
cut too sharply into the right lane,
you could hit a vehicle on the
right. Check the inside mirror or
glance over your shoulder before
changing lanes.
The passenger side mirror is convex
shaped. A convex mirror’s surface
is curved so more can be seen from
the driver seat.

Object Detection
Systems
Ultrasonic Rear Parking
Assist (URPA)
For vehicles with the Ultrasonic Rear
Parking Assist (URPA) system, it
operates at speeds less than 5 mph
(8 km/h), and assists the driver with
parking and avoiding objects while in
R (Reverse). The sensors on the rear
bumper are used to detect the
distance to an object up to 8 feet
(2.5 m) behind the vehicle, and at
least 10 inches (25.4 cm) off the
ground.
{ CAUTION
The Ultrasonic Rear Parking
Assist (URPA) system does not
replace driver vision. It cannot
detect:
• objects that are below the
bumper, underneath the
vehicle, or if they are too
close or far from the vehicle
• children, pedestrians,
bicyclists, or pets.
If you do not use proper care
before and while backing; vehicle
damage, injury, or death could
occur. Even with URPA, always
check behind the vehicle before
backing up. While backing, be
sure to look for objects and check
the vehicle’s mirrors.
