User Manual
Our products are to assist and aid the driver,
not to replace the manual function of the person
operating the vehicle.
Although the PTS is a visual aid and will allow you
to view what is behind the vehicle, it does not
remove the responsibility of driving the vehicle from
the driver. Legal responsibility and safe driving
practise remains with the driver at all times. You
have purchased this product with the understanding
that its use is as an aid only. We highly recommend
that you have this product professionally installed to
ensure that it will provide the functions it is set out
to perform.
Parking Assist System (PTS) helps to provide
assistance when reversing and parking. Driving
skills such as slowing down, use of mirrors are
always essential.
1.
This system is for vehicles with DC 9~27V only.
2. This system should be installed by a
professional auto technician.
3. Route wiring harness away from heat source
and electrical components.
4. It is strongly recommended to check the
position of the sensors before the actual drilling
of the holes.
5. Perform a functional test after installation.

The PTS411 is a 4-sensor parking system that
can be used as a front or rear ultrasonic distance
monitoring device (Dual-purpose). It
electronically detects the area in front or behind
the vehicle while reversing and driving forward.
If the system detects an obstacle, it will provide
alerts with audible tones and visual warnings,
depending on the model purchased. The system
assists the driver when parking and in
manoeuvring situations.
All the detachable sensors are waterproof and
can be easily changed. Combined with
anti-interference and anti-false alert technology,
the system can detect obstacles in a wide variety
of weather conditions and respond quickly. The
system has intelligent detection, which is ideal
for vehicles with a tow-bar or spare tire.
Each element of this system has passed the
most stringent test before being released to the
market. It is reliable at a wide storage
temperature range and becomes very useful
when you are parking on a raining day, snowing
day or at night etc. With the help of a parking
assist system, you can enjoy a comfortable,
relaxed and safer parking experience.

2 or 4-Sensor Automatic Recognition
The parking system can be used as a 2-sensor
system when fitted on either the front or rear of
your vehicle. When using as a 2-sensor system,
make sure you connect the sensors to either
B&C port or A&D port on the ECU.
(please refer to page 30-33)
When fitting this system on the front of a vehicle,
we highly recommend purchasing a set of
sensor cable extensions.
These extend the supplied 2.3m sensor cable by
2.3m making the sensor cables 4.6m long.
Only applicable for PTS411.
Optional Extension Cable
Key Features
Dual-purpose parking assist system, can be

Tips: If the PTS411 is installed together with the front sensor system, it is
recommended to use low frequency "L" sound alarm for rear system and
high frequency "H" sound alarm for the front system for distinguish
between the 2 system alarms easily.

Turn your vehicle ignition to "Accessories" on and press the SET button once. You will hear a beep as
the front system enters volume adjustment mode. When reverse gear is selected, press the SET button
once. You will hear a beep as the rear system enters volume adjustment mode. In either mode, press
the SET button again to select the volume level, it will save and exit after 1 second. To change the
volume setting, press the SET button multiple times: ’0’ for mute, ‘1’ for Min, ‘2’ for Max.

When this function is ON, the detected distance will increase 20cm (from 30cm to 50cm) between
the sensor and obstacles. This extra distance is designed to factor in a tow-bar or spare wheel.

Self-Testing Function
For Front System:
Once your vehicle ACCESSORIES is turned on, the system will test all front sensors automotically.
If all sensors are working properly, the buzzer will not sound alert.
If a damaged or defective sensor is detected, then then system will “BEEP” 3 times for alarm.
BEEP - BEEP - BEEP
Notes:
• If sensors are damaged or defective, the buzzer will BEEP 3 times.
• The locations of damaged / defective sensors will be shown on the display.
• The system will not sound alert when sensors (A&D) or (B&C) are damaged or defective as it will
work as 2-sensor front system automatically.
After completing the self-testing function, the system will continue working for 8 seconds (jumper
position “1” in ECU) or 20 seconds (jumper position “2” in ECU) when the vehicle is moving towards or
away from obstacles.

Note:
• This function is valid and achievable only if all sensors are working properly.
• The above procedure must be carried out within 3 minutes of the ignition being switched on. If the
ignition has been on for over 3 minutes, turn the ignition off and back on again.
• If you make a mistake while carrying out the above procedure, release the footbrake for 3 seconds
to clear the system memory and then start the procedure again.
• If the vehicle does not have nudge bars or other protrusions, you do not need to use this function.
• Perform a functional test after the learning function is set.

Please find a location without obstacles to activate this function.
1. With the ignition “ON”, change the gear from “N” to “R” 10 times
(Each gear change must be within 1 second).
2. On the 10th time, leave the gear in “R” position, the buzzer will "BEEP" once after 2 seconds, then will do
a long "BEEP" sound for 2 seconds after 3 seconds to complete the learning process.
3. When the learning function is activated, the system will ignore the tow-bar or spare wheel and only
detect behind the vehicle.
Clear the learning function:
1. With the ignition “ON”, change the gear from “N” to “R” 12 times
(each gear change must be within 1 second).
2. On the 12th time, leave the gear in “R” position , the buzzer will "BEEP" once after 2 seconds, then
"BEEP" once again after 2 seconds to complete the clearing process.
Note:
• This function is valid and achievable only if all sensors are working properly.
• If you make a mistake while carrying out the above procedure, leave the gear in “R” position
for 2 seconds to clear the system memory and then start the procedure again.
• If the vehicle does not have a tow-bar or spare wheel, you do not need to use this function.
• Perform a functional test after the learning function is set.
Note: The max. detection range of outside (A&D) sensors is 0.69m.
The max. detection range of central (B&C) sensors is 0.89m.
