Object Detection
Systems
Ultrasonic Parking Assist
For vehicles with the Ultrasonic
Front and Rear Parking Assist
(UFRPA) system, it assists the
driver with parking and avoiding
objects. UFRPA operates at speeds
less than 8 km/h (5 mph), and the
sensors on the front and rear
bumper detect objects up to 1.2 m
(4 ft) in front of the vehicle and 2.5 m
(8 ft) behind the vehicle, and at least
25.4 cm (10 in) off the ground.
{
WARNING
The Ultrasonic Front and Rear
Park Assist (UFRPA) 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 moving forward and while
backing; vehicle damage, injury,
or death could occur. Even with
UFRPA, always check in front of
the vehicle before moving forward
and behind the vehicle before
backing up. While moving forward
and backing, be sure to look for
objects and check the vehicle's
mirrors.
How the System Works
When the vehicle is shifted into
R (Reverse) the front and rear
sensors are automatically turned on,
after the vehicle is shifted out of
R (Reverse), the rear sensors are
turned off and the front sensors stay
on until the vehicle is above a
certain speed. The front sensors
may also be turned on by pressing
the park assist button located next
to the shift lever without shifting into
R (Reverse) while the vehicle is
traveling at a low speed. See
“Turning the System On and Off”
later in this section.
When the vehicle is in N (Neutral),
the system may be active. If the
vehicle is in a car wash, the sensors
may detect objects in the car wash.
See “Turning the System On and
Off” later in this section to turn the
system off.
