When the right or left turn indicator is ON and an object is seen by the rear sensor ONLY on that side the buzzer will 
start to signal with a Bi..Bi.. Sound.  This sound level can be adjusted at switch on the buzzer. 

FAQ: 

 

The unit does not respond at all.

  Please check the power and ground connections and insure that the inline 

fuse is not damaged or blown. 

 

The LED Indicators do not work correctly.

  Please insure that the sensors are plugged in to the correct points of 

the harness.  Please also make sure there is nothing that could cause the front sensors to activate.   
Bring the vehicle to an open area and retest the install. 

 

The sensors false or do not react to objects.  

Please ensure that the sensors are installed with the UP arrow 

facing upward.  Also insure that the sensors are not in contact with any metal part of the vehicles frame and are 
clear of debris. 

 

The front sensors do not activate the warning lights or buzzer.

  This is correct operation.  The front sensors are 

used to defeat false reading when in close contact to walls, railings or parked vehicles. 

 

The buzzer only works when the turn indicators are on.

  This is correct operation.  The lights should activate 

when a vehicle is in the blind spot and detected.  The buzzer will only operate when the turn indicator is applied 
in that direction. 

 

Can the sensors be painted?

  Yes, however a light coat is recommended for best sensing results. 

 

The unit is too sensitive.  

By default the system is set at normal sensitivity giving maximum detection range.  

This can be set to a lower setting

 

 

The unit gives false readings.  

Please insure that the response switch is set to the normal setting.
