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. A continuous tone is heard when the distance is less than 30 cm (12 in).
To be detected, objects must be at least 25 cm (10 in) off the ground and below liftgate level. Objects must also be within 2.5 m (8 ft) from the rear bumper. This distance may be less during warmer or humid weather.
