Ultrasonic Parking Assist

For vehicles with the Ultrasonic
Rear Parking Assist (URPA) system,
it operates at speeds less than
8 km/h (5 mph), 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 2.5 m (8 ft) behind the
vehicle, and at least 25.4 cm (10 in)
off the ground.

WARNING

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 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.
