INSTALLER NOTES 

 
After the installation of the system is complete, make sure to adjust the direction of the sensors 
to correct any range problems you might be experiencing such as false alerts or no alerts at all. 
If  need  be,  the  provided  plastic  shims  can  be  used  to  adjust  the  angle  of  the  sensors  on  the 
bumper. Also  make sure to adjust the  intelligent  detection  switch  if the  vehicle  has  a  spare  tire 
rack or tow hitch and the unit is giving false alerts due to this equipment. 
 

1. 

When installing the system, the car should be completely powered off. It might be a good 
idea to remove the negative battery terminal in some vehicles prior to installation. 

 

2. 

The  operation  of  the  system  may  be  affected  by  certain  conditions  such  heavy  rain, 
gravel roads, sloping surfaces, bushes, extreme hot or cold weather or if the sensors are 
covered by snow, ice, mud, etc.  

 

3. 

Other ultrasonic or electronic fields such as other electrical devices or high current power 
wires in the vehicle may effect the operation of the sensors.  

 

4. 

The sensors should not be installed too tightly or too loose in the bumper 

 

5. 

Do not install  the control  module  any other high  current  electrical  devices or  wires under 
the  dash  board  or  in  the  truck.  If  installing  in  the  trunk,  make  sure  the  control  module  is 
away from any moisture or weather elements.  

 

6. 

Bench test the system first to make sure the operation is good  before drilling the holes in 
the bumper. Once tested and installed, make sure to practice test the system in a parking 
lot before actual use.  

 

7. 

The 3M double side tape for the control module and buzzer cannot be used twice. Use an 
alcohol wipe to make sure the  mounting surface is clean before use. If sticking to a vinyl 
or color surface, be cautious when using alcohol wipes to make sure the surface does not 
become damaged or discolored.  

 

8. 

Use only the provided hole saw bit to drill the holes for the sensors.
