Universal Park Distance Aid System Installation Instructions issue 1.0 – 01/12/03
Diagram 7.
The coverage of the sensor is dependent on the height
and angle of the sensor from the ground. If the sensor
is pointing down or mounted to low on the bumper, the
system may suffer from “Ground Affect”, (Reflection
from undulations in the ground) or “Erratic Detection”.

GENERAL
Divide the total width of the vehicle as shown in
diagram 9.
Diagram 9.
These measurements are the optimum position for the
sensors. Observe the spacing measurements between
the sensors whenever possible, however sometimes
the contours and features of the of the bumper
moulding etc can dictate particular mounting points.
See Diagrams 1-8
Check for protrusions at the rear of the vehicle e.g. Tow
Bars, overhanging bumpers etc. If these items are in
the sensors 60o cone detection area the system will not
operate correctly, therefore allowances should be made
and the installation positions vary accordingly.
When determining the dimensional position of the
sensors, ensure the vehicle is at its normal ride height.
DRILLING THE HOLES
Ensure that there is at least 23mm depth directly behind
the sensor eye prior to drilling.
NOTE:
Some vehicles have foam protection directly
behind the bumper, this foam can cause cone-cut tools
to drift during drilling and elongate the hole. It is
recommended a 20mm
Ø
hole saw & arbor is used to
drill all holes.
Identify a panel that is flat and vertical to the ground at
the rear of the vehicle for the sensors to be mounted.
This position ideally should be no less than 450mm and
no higher than 550mm from the ground. (The vehicles
bumper is normally the ideal position).
Try to establish a flat surface for the sensor eyes as
excessive curves will separate from the sensor lip edge.
Apply the template stickers exactly in poison and
ensure that any lines drawn on the bumper are done so
using a marker that can be wiped away without trace.
Always take additional measurements from fixed
moulding points on the vehicles bumper and not items
such as number plates as the location may not be
symmetrical.
Should an inner skin or panel be directly behind the
mounting hole, caution should be taken prior to drilling.
If you are unsure of any aspect of the installation,
remove the bumper and investigate.
Do not drill steel
reinforcement members.
When the position of each sensor is determined; Drill a
2mm
Ø
pilot hole through the bumper moulding at the 4
location points.
Open out the 4 holes to exactly 20mm
Ø
using a
holesaw & arbor see diagram 10. Alternatively a
stepped cutter may be used however,
never
use a
stepped cutter when drilling bumpers with foam support
to the rear as this will cause the stepped cutter to drift &
elongate the hole.
