9-46 Driving and Operating
When the System Does Not
Seem to Work Properly
If the URPA system does not
activate due to a temporary
condition, the message PARK
ASSIST OFF displays on the DIC.
See Driver Information Center (DIC)
on page 5‑20 for more information.
This can occur under the following
conditions:
. The driver has disabled the
system.
. The ultrasonic sensors are not
clean. Keep the vehicle's rear
bumper free of mud, dirt, snow,
ice, and slush. For cleaning
instructions, see Exterior Care
on page 10‑79.
. The park assist sensors are
covered by frost or ice, which
can occur after washing the
vehicle in cold weather. Keep
the sensors free of frost or ice.
. A trailer was attached to the
vehicle, or an object was
hanging out of the trunk during
the last drive cycle. Once the
object is removed, URPA will
return to normal operation.
. The vehicle's bumper is
damaged. Take the vehicle to
your dealer to repair the system.
. Other conditions may affect
system performance, such as
vibrations from a jackhammer or
the compression of air brakes on
a very large truck.
Rear Vision
Camera (RVC)
The vehicle may have a Rear Vision
Camera (RVC) system. Read this
entire section before using it.
The RVC can assist the driver when
backing up by displaying a view of
the area behind the vehicle.
{
WARNING
The Rear Vision Camera (RVC)
system does not replace driver
vision. RVC does not:
. Detect objects that are
outside the camera's field of
view, below the bumper,
or underneath the vehicle.
. Detect children, pedestrians,
bicyclists, or pets.
Do not back the vehicle by only
looking at the RVC screen, or use
the screen during longer, higher
speed backing maneuvers or
where there could be cross-traffic.
Your judged distances using the
screen will differ from actual
distances.
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.
