Seat, Mirrors and Steering Wheel on page 1-6and
DIC Vehicle Customization on page 3-86for more
information.
Programming Transmitters to the
Vehicle
Only RKE transmitters programmed to the vehicle will
work. If a transmitter is lost or stolen, a replacement
can be purchased and programmed through your
dealer/retailer. When the replacement transmitter is
programmed to the vehicle, all remaining transmitters
must also be programmed. Any lost or stolen
transmitters no longer work once the new transmitter
is programmed. Each vehicle can have up to
eight transmitters programmed to it. See RELEARN
REMOTE KEY underDIC Operation and Displays
on page 3-68.
Battery Replacement
Replace the battery if the REPLACE BATTERY
IN REMOTE KEY message displays in the DIC.
See “REPLACE BATTERY IN REMOTE KEY” under
DIC Warnings and Messages on page 3-73for additional

Trunk
{CAUTION:
Exhaust gases can enter the vehicle if it is driven
with the liftgate, trunk/hatch open, or with any
objects that pass through the seal between the
body and the trunk/hatch or liftgate. Engine
exhaust contains Carbon Monoxide (CO) which
cannot be seen or smelled. It can cause
unconsciousness and even death.
If the vehicle must be driven with the liftgate, or
trunk/hatch open:
Close all of the windows.
Fully open the air outlets on or under the
instrument panel.
Adjust the Climate Control system to a setting
that brings in only outside air and set the fan
speed to the highest setting. See Climate
Control System in the Index.
If the vehicle is equipped with a power liftgate,
disable the power liftgate function.
For more information about carbon monoxide,
seeEngine Exhaust on page 2-36.

headlamp switch on the instrument panel.
If the valet lockout feature is on it will also disable the
Universal Home Remote transmitter, if equipped.
Locking the glove box with your key will also help to

Content Theft-Deterrent
The security light is
located on the instrument
panel cluster.
To arm the system:
1. Open the door.
2. Lock the door using the power door lock switch with
the door open or the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE)
transmitter. The security light will ash.
3. Close all the doors. The security light will come on
and stay on for approximately 30 seconds.
If a door or the trunk is opened without a key or a
RKE transmitter the horn will sound and the lamps will
ash for about 30 seconds.The theft-deterrent system will not arm if you lock the
doors with a key or use the manual door lock. It arms
only if you use a power door lock with the door open or
the RKE transmitter.
To avoid arming the alarm by accident:
Lock the vehicle with the door key or the manual
door lock.
Always unlock a door with a key or use the RKE
transmitter system. Pressing the unlock button
on the RKE transmitter, or unlocking a door with the
key disarms the content theft-deterrent system.
Unlocking a door any other way will activate
the alarm when a door or the trunk is opened.
If you activate the alarm by accident, unlock the driver’s
door with your key. You can also turn off the alarm
by using the unlock button on the RKE transmitter
system, or by starting the car with a valid key.
Changes or modi cations made to this system by
other than an authorized service facility could void
authorization to use the theft system.

The front display is located on top of the instrument panel
to the right of the driver. The front display will have either
three or six lights to provide distance and system
information. With Adaptive Cruise control (ACC), it will
have three lights along with the ACC lights. Without ACC,
it will have six lights. High-toned beeps from the front
speakers are for objects detected near the front bumper.
The rear display is located near the rear window and can
be seen by looking over your right shoulder. The rear
display uses three color-coded lights to provide distance
and system information. Low-toned beeps from the rear
speakers are for the rear bumper.
How the System Works
UFRPA comes on automatically when the shift lever
is moved out of P (Park). The system does not
work at a forward or reverse speed greater than
5 mph (8 km/h).
To be detected, objects must be at least 10 inches
(25.4 cm) off the ground and below hood or trunk level.
Objects must also be within 4 feet (1.2 m) in front of
the vehicle and 8 feet (2.5 m) from the rear bumper.
This distance may be less during warmer or humid
weather.
When backing up, if objects are detected at the same
time near both the front and rear bumpers, both
color-coded light displays will notify you of objects close
to each bumper. If there are objects detected near both
bumpers, the beeps will only be sounded to notify that
objects are close to the rear bumper. However, if while
the vehicle is backing up and an object comes within
1 ft (0.3 m) of the front bumper, and at the same time
there is another object further than 1 ft (0.3 m) from the
rear bumper, then the beeps will only be sounded to
notify you of the closer object that is near the front
bumper.
The system can be disabled using the Driver Information
Center (DIC). See “Parking Assist” underDIC Operation
and Displays on page 3-68for more information. Front Parking Assist

When the System Does Not Seem to
Work Properly
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 occurs under the following conditions:
The driver disables the system.
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 5-90.
A trailer was attached to the vehicle, or a bicycle or
an object was hanging out of the trunk 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.
