How the System Works when Backing
If the shift lever is in REVERSE (R), URPA
detects objects close to the rear bumper. The
rst time an object is detected a single beep will
sound. If an object is detected at a REVERSE (R)
speed between 0 mph (0 km/h) and 5 mph
(8 km/h), the following describes what will occur
based on your distance to a detected object
located behind the vehicle:
At distances between 40 inches (1 m)
and 8 ft (2.5 m), a single amber light will
come on.
At distances between 23 inches (0.6 m)
and 40 inches (1 m), both amber lights
will be on.
At distances between 12 inches (0.3 m)
and 23 inches (0.6 m), all three lights
(amber/amber/red) will be on.
At distances less than 12 inches (0.3 m),
a beeping sound will repeat for a short
time and all three lights (amber/amber/red)
will ash.
When the System Does Not Seem to
Work Properly
If the URPA system will not activate due to a
temporary condition, the message PARKING
ASSIST OFF will be displayed on the DIC screen
and a red light will come on the URPA display
when the shift lever is moved into REVERSE (R).
This occurs under the following conditions:
The driver disables the system.
The parking brake pedal is depressed.
A trailer was attached to your vehicle, or a
bicycle or an object was hanging out of
your trunk during your last drive when you
turned off the vehicle. If the attached objects
are removed from your vehicle before the
start of your next drive, the system will return
to normal operation unless an object is
detected when the vehicle is shifted into
REVERSE (R). If this occurs, URPA assumes
the object is still attached, so you will have
to wait until the vehicle is driven forward
above 15 mph (25 km/h) before URPA will
return to normal operation.
