Ultrasonic Rear Parking
Assist (URPA)
If your vehicle has the Ultrasonic Rear Parking
Assist (URPA) system it is designed to help you
park while in Reverse (R). It operates only at
speeds less than 5 mph (8 km/h). URPA helps
make parking easier and helps you avoid colliding
with objects such as parked vehicles. The URPA
system detects objects that are close to the rear of
the vehicle which are at least 10 inches (25.4 cm)
off the ground and below hood or trunk level.
The system detects objects up to 8 feet (2.5 m)
behind your vehicle. URPA determines how close
these objects are from your bumper within this area.
Ultrasonic sensors on the rear bumper are used to
detect the distance to the object.
{CAUTION:
Even with the Ultrasonic Rear Park Assist
system, the driver must check carefully
before backing up. The system does not
CAUTION: (Continued)
CAUTION: (Continued)
operate above speeds of 5 mph (8 km/h).
The system does not detect objects more
than 8 feet (2.5 meters) behind the vehicle.
This detection distance limit may be
reduced during warm weather or high
humidity. Also, the system does not
detect objects that are below your
bumper, underneath your vehicle, or
some objects very close to the vehicle.
The system is not designed to detect
children, pedestrians, bicyclists, or pets.
So, unless you check carefully behind
your vehicle while you are backing up,
they could be injured or killed.
Whether or not you are using rear park
assist, always check carefully behind your
vehicle before backing up and then watch
closely as you do.

The ultrasonic sensors are not kept clean.
So, be sure to keep your vehicle’s rear bumper
free of mud, dirt, snow, ice, and slush. For
cleaning instructions, seeWashing Your
Vehicle on page 532. If the DIC still displays the
PARKING ASSIST OFF message after
cleaning the bumper and driving forward at a
speed of at least 15 mph (25 km/h), see your
dealer.
Other conditions that may affect system
performance include vibrations from a
jackhammer or the compression of air brakes
on a very large truck or other mechanical
devices that interfere with URPA performance.
When URPA is disabled without driver action
and the driver attempts to turn URPA back on
using the Driver Information Center (DIC), the
PARKING ASSIST ON option will not be
selectable if the necessary conditions stated
above for normal system operation are not met.
As always, drivers should use care when backing
up a vehicle. Always look behind you, being
sure to check for other vehicles, obstructions and
blind spots.For Driver Information Center messages related to
URPA, seeDIC Warnings and Messages on
page 254.
If the bumper is damaged, your URPA system
may not work properly. Take the vehicle to
your dealer to repair the system.
Accessory Power Outlet(s)
With accessory power outlets you can plug in
auxiliary electrical equipment, such as a cellular
telephone or CB radio.
Your vehicle will have two accessory power
outlets under the climate controls, one on the back
of the oor console and a additional accessory
power outlet in the rear cargo area on the
passenger side.
To use the power outlet, lift the spring cap and
insert electrical 12V device plug. To close
the power outlet, remove 12V electrical device
plug and the spring cap will close.
Certain power accessory plugs may not be
compatible to the accessory power outlet and
could result in blown adapter or vehicle fuses.

Resetting the TPMS Identication Codes
Each TPMS sensor has a unique identication
code. Any time you rotate your vehicle’s tires or
replace one or more of the TPMS sensors, the
identication codes will need to be matched to the
new tire/wheel position. The sensors are matched
to the tire/wheel positions in the following order:
driver’s side front tire, passengers side front tire,
passengers side rear tire, and driver’s side rear tire
using a TPMS diagnostic tool. See your GM dealer
for service.
The TPMS sensors may also be matched to each
tire/wheel position by increasing or decreasing
the tire’s air pressure. If increasing the tire’s
air pressure, do not exceed the maximum ination
pressure indicated on the tire’s sidewall.
You will have two minutes to match the rst
tire/wheel position, and ve minutes overall to
match all four tire/wheel positions. If it takes longer
than two minutes, to match the rst tire and
wheel, or more than ve minutes to match all
four tire and wheel positions the matching process
stops and you will need to start over.The TPMS sensor matching process is outlined
below:
1. Set the parking brake.
2. Turn the ignition switch to RUN with the
engine off.
3. Using the DIC, press the vehicle information
button until the RELEARN TIRE POSITIONS
message displays. If your vehicle does not
have the DIC buttons, press the trip odometer
reset stem located on the instrument panel
cluster until the RELEARN TIRE POSITIONS
message displays.
4. If your vehicle has the DIC buttons, press the
set/reset button. The horn will sound twice to
indicate the TPMS receiver is ready, and
the TIRE LEARNING ACTIVE message will
display. If your vehicle does not have the DIC
buttons, press and hold the trip odometer
reset stem until the horn chirps twice and the
TIRE LEARNING ACTIVE message is
displayed.
5. Start with the driver’s side front tire.
