The front display is located on top of the instrumentpanel to the right of the driver. The front display will haveeither three or six lights to provide distance andsystem 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 beepsfrom the front speakers are for objects detected near thefront bumper.
The rear display is located near the rear window andcan be seen by looking over your right shoulder.The rear display uses three color-coded lights to providedistance and system information. Low-toned beepsfrom the rear speakers are for the rear bumper.
How the System Works
UFRPA comes on automatically when the shift lever ismoved out of P (Park). The system does not work at aforward or reverse speed greater than 5 mph (8 km/h).
To be detected, objects must be at least 25.4 cm (10 in.)off the ground and below hood or trunk level. Objectsmust also be within 1.2 m (4 ft.) in front of thevehicle and 2.5 m (8 ft.) from the rear bumper. Thisdistance may be less during warmer or humid weather.
When backing up, if objects are detected at thesame time near both the front and rear bumpers, bothcolor-coded light displays will notify you of objects closeto each bumper. If there are objects detected nearboth bumpers, the beeps will only be sounded to notifythat objects are close to the rear bumper. However,if while the vehicle is backing up and an object comeswithin 0.3 m (1 ft.) of the front bumper, and at the sametime there is another object further than 0.3 m (1 ft.)from the rear bumper, then the beeps will only besounded to notify you of the closer object that is nearthe front bumper.
The system can be disabled using the Driver InformationCenter (DIC). See “Parking Assist” underDIC Operationand Displays on page 4-62for more information.

When the System Does Not Seem to
Work Properly
If the URPA system will not activate due to a temporarycondition, the message PARK ASSIST OFF will bedisplayed on the DIC and a red light will be shown onthe rear URPA display when the shift lever is moved intoR (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, seeWashing Your Vehicle on page 6-95.
•A trailer was attached to the vehicle, or a bicycle or
an object was hanging out of the trunk during thelast drive cycle, the red light may illuminate inthe rear display. Once the attached object isremoved, 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 thecompression of air brakes on a very large truck.
If the system is still disabled after driving forward atleast 25 km/h (15 mph), take the vehicle to yourdealer/retailer.
Side Blind Zone Alert (SBZA)
The vehicle may have a Side Blind Zone Alert (SBZA)system. Read this entire section before using the system.
{WARNING:
SBZA is only a lane changing aid and does not
replace driver vision. SBZA does not detect:
•Vehicles outside the side blind zones which
may be rapidly approaching.
•Pedestrians, bicyclists, or animals.
Failure to use proper care when changing lanesmay result in damage to the vehicle, injury, ordeath. Always check the outside and rearviewmirrors, glance over your shoulder, and use theturn signal before changing lanes.
When the system detects a vehicle in the side blindzone, amber SBZA displays will light up in the sidemirrors. This indicates that it may be unsafe to changelanes. Before making a lane change, always checkthe SBZA display, check the outside and rearviewmirrors, look over your shoulder for vehicles andhazards, and use the turn signal.
3-43

SBZA Detection Zones
The SBZA sensor covers a zone of approximately onelane over from both sides of the vehicle, 3.5 m (11 ft).This zone starts at each side mirror and goes backapproximately 5 m (16 ft). The height of the zone isapproximately between 0.5 m (1.5 ft) and 2.0 m (6 ft) offthe ground.
The SBZA detection zones do not change if the vehicleis towing a trailer. So be extra careful when changinglanes while towing a trailer.
How the System Works
When the vehicle is started, both outside mirror displayswill briefly come on to indicate that the system isoperating. While driving forward, the left or right sidemirror SBZA display will light up if a vehicle is detected inthat blind zone. If you activate a turn signal and a vehiclehas been detected on the same side, the SBZA displaywill flash to give you extra warning not to change lanes.
SBZA displays do not come on while the vehicle isapproaching or passing other vehicles. At speedsgreater then 20 mph (32 km/h), SBZA displays maycome on when a vehicle you have passed remains in ordrops back into the detection zone.
SBZA can be disabled through the Driver InformationCenter (DIC). SeeDriver Information Center (DIC)on page 4-61for more information. If the SBZAis disabled by the driver, the SBZA mirror displays willnot light up during normal driving.

When the System Does Not Seem To Work
Properly
Occasional missed alerts can occur under normalcircumstances and will increase in wet conditions. Thesystem does not need to be serviced due to anoccasional missed alert. The number of missed alertswill increase with increased rainfall or road spray.
If the SBZA displays do not light up when the system ison and vehicles are in the blind zone, the systemmay need service. Take the vehicle to yourdealer/retailer.
SBZA is designed to ignore stationary objects; however,the system may occasionally light up due to guard rails,signs, trees, shrubs, and other stationary objects. This isnormal system operation, the vehicle does not needservice.
SBZA does not operate when the left or right cornersof the rear bumper are covered with mud, dirt, snow, ice,slush, or in heavy rainstorms. For cleaning instructions,seeWashing Your Vehicle on page 6-95. If the DICstill displays the SIDE BLIND ZONE SYSTEMUNAVAILABLE message after cleaning the bumper, seeyour dealer/retailer.
The SBZA displays may remain on if a trailer is attachedto the vehicle, or a bicycle or object is extending outto either side of the vehicle.
When SBZA is disabled for any reason other than thedriver turning it off, the driver will not be able to turnSBZA back on using the DIC. The SIDE BLIND ZONEALERT ON option will not be selectable if theconditions for normal system operation are not met.Until normal operating conditions for SBZA are met, youshould not rely upon SBZA while driving.
SBZA Error Messages
The following messages may appear in the DIC:
SIDE BLIND ZONE ALERT SYSTEM OFF:Thismessage indicates that the driver has turned thesystem off.
SIDE BLIND ZONE SYSTEM UNAVAILABLE:Thismessage indicates that the SBZA system is disabledbecause the sensor is blocked and cannot detectvehicles in the blind zone. The sensor may be blockedby mud, dirt, snow, ice, slush, or even heavyrainstorms. This message may also activate duringheavy rain or due to road spray. The vehicle does notneed service. For cleaning, seeWashing YourVehicle on page 6-95.
SERVICE SIDE BLIND ZONE ALERT SYSTEM:If thismessage appears, both SBZA displays will remain onindicating there is a problem with the SBZA system.If these displays remain on after continued driving, thesystem needs service. Take the vehicle to yourdealer/retailer.
