1.0 - PRELIMINARY ADVICE
Dear customer,
Before installing, identify your kit and refer to it for the correct instructions.
The Caution and Warning signs in this manual provide important notices for installing and using this
product.
Be sure to follow them in order to ensure a safe and reliable use:

3.0 - SYSTEM OPERATION
USER MANUAL
The parking system is designed only as a parking aid, it should not be considered to
replace care and attentiveness while manoeuvring.
Remember to always look around the vehicle while parking.
Small obstacles or objects with low reflectance might not be detected.
3.1 - DETECTION ZONES
Detection zones are indicated as “F” (front).
Detection zones closest to the obstacle are indicated as “FC”.
The STOP zone is the minimum distance detected between an obstacle and the sensor.
In this case the warning tone is solid.
The detection range and the volume of the buzzer can be adjusted (see setting of
parameters) according to the needs of the user and the vehicle on which the system is
installed.
The sound alert will vary according to the detection zone.stage-by-stage

For the overall functionality of the parking system, check the programming of the
sensors.

To time-activate the sensors, the parameter 13 must be be modified (see chapter
“setting of parameters).
When the setting is modified, the OFF sign is not displayed when the left hand side
push-button is pressed because the sensors will automatically activate when ignition is
turned on again.

By modifying the of the front sensors (function 13, ), the front sensors
will work as follows:
If, within the preset time, no obstacle is detected in front of the vehicle, the sensors will
automatically be deactivated.
If, within the preset time, the obstacle is still detected, the sensors will remain active as long as the
obstacle is detected and will deactivate 3” after detecting the last obstacle.
If you need to use the front sensors again after the automatic deactivation, simply press the left
push-button.
The sensors will automatically deactivate 3” after detecting the last obstacle.

On some vehicles, when speed exceeds 15Km/h, no icon could be displayed even
though the system is active.
The sensors can still be deactivated with the push-button.

sensors.
In this case the “OFF” sign will light up on the displayed vehicle.
