How the System Works
URPA comes on automatically
and the display briefly illuminates
to indicate the system is working
when the shift lever is moved into
R (Reverse).
If the vehicle is traveling faster
then 8 km/h (5 mph) in reverse,
the red light on the rear display
flashes.
Objects must be at least 20 cm
(8 inches) off the ground and below
trunk level, and within 2.4m (8 feet)
from the rear bumper to be detected.
The distance may be less during
warmer or humid weather.
A single beep sounds the first time
an object is detected between 1.0 m
(40 inches) and 2.4m (8 feet) away.
Beeping occurs continuously when
the vehicle is 0.6 m (23 inches) or
closer to an object.The following describes how the URPA display lights appear as the vehicle
gets closer to a detected object:

8-42 Driving and Operating

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
and a red light comes on the rear
URPA display when the shift lever is
moved into R (Reverse). This can
occur under the following conditions:
•The ultrasonic sensors are not
clean. Keep the vehicle’s rear
bumper free of mud, dirt, snow,
ice and slush. For cleaning
instructions, seeExterior Care
on page 9-88.
•A trailer was attached to the
vehicle, or an object was hanging
out of the trunk during the last
drive cycle, making the red light
come on 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 that is near the
vehicle.
If the system is still disabled, after
driving forward at least 25 km/h
(15 mph), take the vehicle to your
dealer/retailer.
Fuel
Use of the recommended fuel
is an important part of the proper
maintenance of this vehicle. To help
keep the engine clean and maintain
optimum vehicle performance, we
recommend the use of gasoline
advertised as TOP TIER Detergent
Gasoline.
Look for the TOP TIER label on the
fuel pump to ensure gasoline meets
enhanced detergency standards
developed by auto companies. A list
of marketers providing TOP TIER
Detergent Gasoline can be found
at www.toptiergas.com.
