Ultrasonic Parking Assist

If available, the Ultrasonic Front and Rear Parking Assist (UFRPA) system assists the driver with parking and avoiding objects.

UFRPA operates at speeds less than 8 km/h (5 mph). The sensors on the front and rear bumper detect objects up to 1.2m (4 ft) in front of the vehicle, and 2.5m (8 ft) behind the vehicle, and at least 25 cm (10 in) off the ground.

WARNING
The UFRPA system does not detect pedestrians, bicyclists, animals, or any other objects located below the bumper or that are too close or too far from the vehicle. To prevent injury, death, or vehicle damage, even with UFRPA, always check the area around the vehicle and check all mirrors before moving forward or backing.
