A bicycle or an object is attached to the front
bumper 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
unless an object is detected when the vehicle is
shifted out of park. If this occurs, UFRPA will
return to normal operation when the vehicle is
driven forward above 15 mph (25 km/h).
The ultrasonic sensors are not kept clean.
So be sure to keep your vehicle’s front and rear
bumpers free of mud, dirt, snow, ice and slush.
For cleaning instructions, seeWashing Your
Vehicle on page 444. If after cleaning the front
and rear bumpers and driving forward at a
speed of at least 15 mph (25 km/h), the DIC
displays the PARKING ASSIST OFF message,
see your dealer/retailer.
Other conditions that may affect system
performance include vibrations from a
jackhammer or the compression of air
brakes on a very large truck or other
mechanical devices that interfere with
UFRPA performance.
When UFRPA is disabled without driver action
and the driver attempts to turn UFRPA back
on using the Driver Information Center (DIC),
the PARKING ASSIST ON option will not be
selectable if the necessary conditions stated
above for normal system operation are not met.
As always, drivers should use care when backing
up a vehicle. Always look behind you, being
sure to check for other vehicles, obstructions
and blind spots.
For Driver Information Center messages related
to UFRPA, seeDIC Warnings and Messages
on page 246.
If the bumper is damaged, your UFRPA system
may not work properly. Take the vehicle to
your dealer/retailer to repair the system.
