Object Detection Systems
Ultrasonic Front and Rear Parking
Assist (UFRPA)
For vehicles with the Ultrasonic Front and Rear ParkingAssist (UFRPA) system, it operates at speeds lessthan 8 km/h (5mph), and assists the driver with parkingand avoiding objects. It can determine how closeobjects are to the front bumper, up to 1.2 m (4 ft.) infront of the vehicle and the rear bumper, up to2.5 m (8 ft.) behind the vehicle. The distance sensorsare located on the front and rear bumper.
{WARNING:
The Ultrasonic Front and Rear Park Assist
(UFRPA) system does not replace driver vision.
It cannot detect:
•objects that are below the bumper,
underneath the vehicle, or if they are tooclose or far from the vehicle
•children, pedestrians, bicyclists, or pets.
If you do not use proper care before movingforward and while backing; vehicle damage, injury,or death could occur. Even with UFRPA, alwayscheck in front of the vehicle before moving forwardand behind the vehicle before backing up. Whilemoving forward and backing, be sure to look forobjects and check the vehicle’s mirrors.

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.

Universal Home Remote System
Operation (With Three Round LED)
This vehicle may have the Universal Home RemoteSystem. If there are three round Light Emitting Diode(LED) indicator lights above the Universal Home Remotebuttons, follow the instructions below.
This system provides a way to replace up to three remotecontrol transmitters used to activate devices such asgarage door openers, security systems, and homeautomation devices.
Do not use this system with any garage door openerthat does not have the stop and reverse feature.This includes any garage door opener modelmanufactured before April 1, 1982.
Read the instructions completely before attempting toprogram the transmitter. Because of the steps involved,it may be helpful to have another person assist withprogramming the transmitter.
Be sure to keep the original remote control transmitterfor use in other vehicles, as well as, for futureprogramming. Only the original remote controltransmitter is needed for Fixed Code programming. Theprogrammed buttons should be erased when thevehicle is sold or the lease ends. See “Erasing UniversalHome Remote Buttons” later in this section.
Park the vehicle outside of the garage whenprogramming a garage door. Be sure that people andobjects are clear of the garage door or gate that is beingprogrammed.
