Operating Instructions

WARNING

 DANGER

This symbol means important instructions. 
What to do in the case of an extremely critical 
situation wherein someone may suffer grave 
or mortal injury. 

DO NOT PROCEED TO BACK UP YOUR VEHICLE WHILE 
PEOPLE ARE IN YOUR VIEW OR THE CAMERA’S VIEW. 
SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH CAN RESULT.

 WARNING

This symbol means important instructions. 
Failure to heed them can result in serious 
injury or death.

WHEN USING A CAMERA SYSTEM, THE DRIVER MUST 
VISUALLY CHECK ACTUAL CONDITIONS AROUND 
THE VEHICLE.   MAKE SURE THERE ARE NO PERSONS 
OR ANIMALS IN THE AREA IN WHICH YOU ARE 
MANEUVERING OTHERWISE YOU COULD INJURE THEM.

A camera assists the driver by sending images to the screen 
showing conditions in view of the camera. The camera uses 
a wide-angle lens, therefore, there is a difference in distance 
perspective between what is normally seen and what appears 
on the screen. Also, the images shown by the rearview camera 
are reversed, so as to appear the same as what is seen through 
the rearview mirror.

The camera may not perform to full capability due to 
variables such as:

weather conditions such as hard rain, snow, fog or mud
extremely high or low temperatures near camera
slope of vehicle and/or roadway
direct exposure to very bright light such as headlamp or 
bright sunlight
moving from very dark to very bright light and vice versa 
such as in parking garages or tunnels
extremely low light areas
walls or objects that are located diagonally in relation to 
the camera
retracted mirrors that change camera viewing angle
open doors or trunks
changes to height of vehicle due to loading capacity or 
hydraulic suspensions
objects located at the corner of the vehicle

WHEN USING AN OBJECT SENSOR SYSTEM, THE 
DRIVER MUST VISUALLY CHECK ACTUAL CONDITIONS 
AROUND THE VEHICLE.  MAKE SURE THERE ARE NO 
PERSONS OR ANIMALS IN THE AREA IN WHICH YOU ARE 
MANEUVERING OTHERWISE YOU COULD INJURE THEM.

The Object detection function assists the driver in checking 
behind and around the vehicle but is not a substitute for using 
your own eyes.  The system may not perform to full capability 
due to variables such as: 

weather conditions such as hard rain, snow, fog or mud
dense exhaust fumes obscuring the sensor
extremely high or low temperatures near sensor









slope of vehicle and/or roadway
direct exposure to very bright light such as headlamp or 
bright sunlight
moving from very dark to very bright light and vice versa 
such as in parking garages or tunnels
walls or objects that are located diagonally in relation to 
the sensor
open doors or trunks
changes to height of vehicle due to load capacity or 
hydraulics
speed of vehicle and/or approaching object
objects moving perpendicular to vehicle at same speed as 
vehicle
walls or objects that are located diagonally in relation to 
the sensor
large groups of moving objects, such as pedestrians in 
crosswalk
when an object and vehicle are not moving
when an object approaches the vehicle from an angle 
greater than 5 degrees
objects more than 12 feet or 3.7 meters behind vehicle
objects hidden by vehicle
narrow objects such as a cone or pole
objects located above the area that the sensor can scan
non-moving small objects that are low to the ground
approaching a flat wall, such as parking structure or 
guardrail
other vehicles traveling at speed in excess of 24 mph or 
40 km
own vehicle traveling over 3 mph or 5 km

CHECK THAT THE CAMERA AND/OR SENSOR MOUNTING 
IS ATTACHED SECURELY, AND THAT THE SCREWS ARE 
TIGHT BEFORE DRIVING.

Failure to do so may result in an accident.

WHEN INSTALLING OR CHECKING A CAMERA AND/OR 
OBJECT SENSOR, DO SO AFTER PARKING THE CAR IN A 
LEVEL, SAFE PLACE, TURNING OFF THE ENGINE, AND 
APPLYING THE HAND BRAKE.

Failure to do so may result in an accident.

WHEN INSTALLING CAMERA AND/OR OBJECT SENSOR, 
BE SURE TO USE SPECIFIC VEHICLE CALIBRATION 
KIT OTHERWISE IT WILL NOT ACCURATELY DISPLAY 
IMAGES.

Failure to do so may result in an accident.

MINIMIZE DISPLAY VIEWING WHILE DRIVING.

Viewing the display may distract the driver from looking 
ahead of the vehicle and cause an accident.

DO NOT DISASSEMBLE OR ALTER.

Doing so may result in an accident, fire or electric shock.

KEEP SMALL OBJECTS SUCH AS BOLTS OR SCREWS OUT 
OF THE REACH OF CHILDREN.

Swallowing them may result in serious injury. If swallowed, 
consult a physician immediately.

USE THE CORRECT AMPERE RATING WHEN REPLACING 
FUSES.

Failure to do so may result in fire or electric shock.
