If the URPA system will not activate
due to a temporary condition, the
message PARK ASSIST OFF will be
displayed on the DIC and a red light
will be shown on the rear URPA display when the shift lever is
moved into R (Reverse). This may
occur under the following
conditions:
The driver disables the system.
The parking brake pedal is
depressed.
The ultrasonic sensors are not
clean. Keep the vehicle’s rear
bumper free of mud, dirt,
snow, ice and slush. For cleaning
instructions, see
Washing Your
Vehicle on page 5-86 .
A trailer was attached to the
vehicle, or a bicycle or an
object was hanging out of the
liftgate during the last drive cycle,
the red light may illuminate in
the rear display. Once the
attached object is removed,
URPA will return to normal
operation.
A tow bar is attached to the
vehicle.
The vehicle’s bumper is
damaged. Take the vehicle to
your dealer/retailer 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.
If the system is still disabled, after
driving forward at least 15 mph
(25 km/h), take the vehicle to your
dealer/retailer.

on hills depends upon the vehicle
speed, load, and the steepness
of the hills. When going up steep
hills, you might have to step on the
accelerator pedal to maintain the
vehicle speed. When going downhill,
you might have to brake or shift
to a lower gear to keep the vehicle

If a short distance must be driven
with the light on, be sure to turn off
all accessories, such as the
radio and air conditioner.
Voltmeter Gage
When the engine is not running, but
the ignition is on, this gage shows
the battery’s state of charge in
DC volts.
When the engine is running, this
gage shows the condition of
the charging system. The vehicle’s
charging system regulates
voltage based on the state of
charge of the battery. The voltmeter
may uctuate. This is normal.
Readings between the low and high
warning zones indicate the normal
operating range.Readings in the low warning zone
may occur when a large number
of electrical accessories are
operating in the vehicle and the
engine is left idling for an extended
period.
If there is a problem with the battery
charging system, a SERVICE
BATTERY CHARGING SYSTEM
message appears in the Driver
Information Center (DIC) and/or the
charging system light comes on.
SeeDIC Warnings and Messages
on page 3-48andCharging
System Light on page 3-32for more
information.
However, readings in either warning
zone can indicate a possible
problem in the electrical system.
Have the vehicle serviced as soon
as possible.
Brake System Warning
Light
This vehicle’s hydraulic brake
system is divided into two parts. If
one part is not working, the
other part can still work and stop
the vehicle. For good braking
both parts need to be working.
If the warning light comes on, there
is a brake problem. Have the
brake system inspected right away.
This light should come on briey
when the ignition key is turned
to ON/RUN. If it does not come on
then, have it xed so it will be
ready to warn if there is a problem.
This light may also come on due
to low brake uid. SeeBrakes
on page 5-24for more information.

When the ignition is on, the brake
system warning light will also
come on when the parking brake is
set. The light will stay on if the
parking brake does not release fully.
If it stays on after the parking
brake is fully released, it means
there is a brake problem.
If the light comes on while driving,
pull off the road and stop carefully.
Make sure the parking brake is
fully released. The pedal may be
harder to push or, the pedal may go
closer to the oor. It may take
longer to stop. If the light is still on,
have the vehicle towed for
service. SeeTowing Your Vehicle
on page 4-21.{CAUTION
The brake system might not be
working properly if the brake
system warning light is on. Driving
with the brake system warning
light on can lead to a crash. If the
light is still on after the vehicle
has been pulled off the road and
carefully stopped, have the
vehicle towed for service.
Antilock Brake System
(ABS) Warning Light
For vehicles with the Antilock Brake
System (ABS), this light comes
on briey when the engine is started.That is normal. If the light does not
come on then, have it xed so it
will be ready to warn if there
is a problem.
If the ABS light stays on, turn the
ignition off. If the light comes
on while driving, stop as soon as it
is safely possible and turn the
ignition off. A chime may also sound
when the light comes on steady.
Then start the engine again to reset
the system. If the ABS light stays
on, or comes on again while driving,
the vehicle needs service. If the
regular brake system warning light
is not on, the vehicle still has
brakes, but not antilock brakes. If
the regular brake system warning
light is also on, the vehicle does not
have antilock brakes and there is
a problem with the regular brakes.
SeeBrake System Warning Light on
page 3-33.
