8-42 Driving and Operating
How the System Works
URPA comes on automatically
when the shift lever is moved into
R (Reverse). A single tone sounds
to indicate the system is working.
URPA operates only at speeds less
than 8 km/h (5 mph).
An obstacle is indicated by audible
beeps. The interval between the
beeps becomes shorter as the
vehicle gets closer to the obstacle.
When the distance is less than
30 cm (12 in) the beeping is
continuous for five seconds.
To be detected, objects must be at
least 20 cm (8 in) off the ground and
below trunk level. Objects must also
be within 2.5 m (8 ft) from the rearbumper. The distance objects can
be detected may be less during
warmer or humid weather.
PARK ASSIST OFF displays on
the Driver Information Center (DIC)
to indicate that URPA is off.
The message disappears after
a short period of time.
See
Object Detection System
Messages
on page 4‑35for other
URPA messages.
Turning the System On and Off
The URPA system can be turned
on and off using the infotainment
system controls. See Vehicle
Personalization
on page 4‑38for
more information.
URPA defaults to the on setting
each time the vehicle is started.
When the System Does Not
Seem to Work Properly
If the URPA system does not
activate due to a temporary
condition, the message PARK
ASSIST OFF displays on the DIC,
see Driver Information Center (DIC)
on page 4‑28for more information.
This can occur under the following
conditions:
.The driver has disabled 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 Exterior Care
on page 9‑90.
.The park assist sensors are
covered by frost or ice, which
can occur after washing the
vehicle in cold weather, keep
the sensors free of frost or ice.

.A trailer was attached to the
vehicle, or an object was
hanging out of the trunk during
the last drive cycle. Once the
object is removed, URPA will
return to normal operation.
.The vehicle's bumper is
damaged. Take the vehicle to
your dealer to repair the system.
.Other conditions may affect
system performance, such as

the compression of air brakes on
a very large truck.
If the system is still disabled, after
driving forward at least 40 km/h
(25 mph), take the vehicle to your
dealer.
