Warning
z
To avoid collision with obstacle because of the inertia of vehicle while backing up/parking,
keep your vehicle
speed at about 3 miles per hour
and stop the vehicle immediately once you hear the continuous beeping.
This is because even if brake is applied, your vehicle will still go for some distance (inertia) before it comes to a
complete stop.
z
Because the back up parking system detects obstacle by emitting ultrasonic wave and receiving reflected
ultrasonic wave from obstacle, the system may fail to give both visual and audible alert if an obstacle has
smooth ball-shaped or sloped surfaces as such surfaces may not reflect ultrasonic wave back to the sensors.
Drivers in these situations should pay more attention while parking their vehicles.
z
In heavy falling rain or snow, the system may give alert as falling rain or snow may be detected as obstacles.
Keep surface of sensors clean of snow, mud, dirt, and other debris.

Wrong LEDs light up
Sensors are plugged into the wrong
sockets at the main control box
Install the sensors in the bumper as
labeled in Fig. 1 and plug sensors
as labeled on the sensor wires into
their corresponding sockets at the
main control box (Fig. 3)
Display constantly shows 0.0
or beeps continuously
Object within 0.30m is detected
Unplug all sensors, and then plug
back in one sensor at a time to find
out which sensor is causing the
problem. Adjust angle of the sensor.

Display shows a distance and
beeps even there is no
obstacle behind
Ground is detected.
Sensor angle is low.
Sensor is installed too low (mounting
height below 0.5m)
Unplug all sensors, and then plug
back in one sensor at a time to find
out which sensor is causing the
problem. Adjust angle of the sensor.
