Object Detection
Systems

Ultrasonic Parking Assist

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 detect objects up to 2.5 m
(8 ft) behind the vehicle, and at least
20 cm (8 in) off the ground.

{

WARNING

The URPA system does not
detect children, pedestrians,
bicyclists, animals, or objects
below the bumper or that are too
close or too far from the vehicle.
It is not available at speeds
greater than 8 km/h (5 mph). To
prevent injury, death, or vehicle

WARNING (CONTINUED)

check the area around 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 20 cm (8 in) off the ground and
below trunk level. Objects must also
be within 2.5 m (8 ft) from the rear
