then the ceiling. The installation height and method is the same with the
left one.
Please ensure to hide all the wires properly into the trims and frame's
waterproof strips to avoid the wiring harness from a󰀨ecting driving safety,
and obstructing you from getting in and o󰀨 the car. Besides please hide
the splitter into the trim under the instrument panel properly and use
cable ties to x with the car cables.
Plug into Cigarette lighter and hide the remaining wires properly. When
ACC ON, the indicators will light up for 3 seconds, and the buzzer will
chime once, indicating that the system has started normally.
If the bracket is incidentally attached wrongly, such as not at the center
of the rear windshield, not close to the upper edge of the rear windshield,
or not maintained at a horizontal level, etc., and you wish to remove
and reattach, spray alcohol around the bracket base in contact with
rear windshield. Then use a thin line such as a shing line to scrape the
edges of the bottom back and forth.

4-2 Function
4.1.1 System startup
When ACC is ON, the indicator will illuminate for 3 seconds, and the
buzzer will chime once, indicating that the system starts normally.
The system self-tests within 10 seconds after power-on, and using
the turn signals or hazard warning lights in this period time would
lead to the indicators flashing, which means the system reads the
turn signals correctly. However, if the turn signals are not connected,
no response resulted.
4.1.2 System shut o󰀨
When you park the car and stop the ignition, the system will shut o󰀨.
Note:
When your speed achieves 5 km/h(3 mph), Blind Spot Detection(BSD)
and Lane Change Alert(LCA) functions will be activated. The radar will
detect the vehicle entering the detection zone with a relative speed less
than 40 km/h(25 mph), and the system will provide visual and audible
warnings to remind you to pay attention to driving safety until the vehicle
is not in the detection zone, if it meets other warning requirements.

(4)
If the vehicle is overtaking at a close distance from behind, or the
vehicle, with body length less than 4 m, coming from behind and
entering the second lane from the third lane, the device may fail to
provide a correct warning.
If the vehicle traveling from behind is driving at the similar speed with
your vehicle(relative speed below 5 km/h(3 mph)) and continuously
driving in the detection zone for a period of time, or your car starts
from a standstill and accelerates, and the vehicle initially staying
in the detection zone is also starting from a standstill and keep
staying in the detection zone, the device may fail to provide a correct
warning.
If a motorcycle rides too close(1 m or 3.2 feet) to your vehicle, the
device may fail to provide a correct warning.
If the motorcycle is ridding too close to the vehicle which is travelling
behind your vehicle at a close distance and therefore obstructed by
such vehicle, or if there is any vehicle behind your vehicle while your
vehicle is turning, the device may fail to provide a correct warning.
