When the system turns on, the three lights on the display will illuminate for one and a half seconds to let you know that the system is working. If your vehicle is moving in REVERSE (R) at a speed greater than 3 mph (5 km/h), the red light will flash to remind you that the system does not work at speed greater than 3 mph (5 km/h).

How
the System
Works
Unless
disabled,
the
URPA will turn on automatically
when the shift lever is moved into REVERSE
(R).
When the system
turns
on, the three lights on
the
display
will illuminate for
one
and
a
half
seconds to let
you
know
that the system is working. If your vehicle
is
moving in REVERSE
(R) at a
speed greater
than
3
mph
(5
km/h),
the red light will flash to remind
you
that the system
does not work at speed greater than
3
mph
(5
km/h).
If
an object is detected at a REVERSE
(R)
speed of
less than
3
mph
(5
km/h),
one of the following will occur:

When the System
Does
Not
Seem
to
Work Properly
The light may flash red when
the vehicle
is
in
REVERSE
(R)
if
the ultrasonic sensors are not kept
clean.
So
be sure to keep your rear
bumper free
of
mud,
dirt, snow, ice and slush. Other conditions that may
affect system
performance include things like
the
vibrations from a
jackhammer
or the compression of
air brakes on a very large truck. If after cleaning
the rear bumper and then driving forward at least
15 mph
(25
km/h), the display continues to flash red,
see your dealer.
If
a trailer was attached to your vehicle, or
a bicycle or
an object was
on the back
of, or hanging out of your
liftgate during your last drive cycle, the light may
also flash red.
The light will continue to flash whenever
in REVERSE
(R) until your vehicle is driven forward
at least 15 mph (25 km/h) without
any obstructions
behind the vehicle.
