USER MANUAL
2.1 - DETECTION ZONES
Detection zones are indicated as “R” and detection zones closest to the obstacle are
indicated as “RC” and displayed as “STOP”.
The STOP zone is the minimum distance detected between an obstacle and the sensor
and 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.
If the sensors are deactivated with the right-hand display button, they will remain
deactivated until the next press or until reverse gear is re-engaged.

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:
For the user.
This sign highlights useful information or indications regarding the use of the parking
system.
For the installer.
This arious operating modessign indicates v according to connections and
programming of the system or it simply provides useful indications for the installation.
!
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 behind the vehicle while parking.
Small obstacles or objects with low reflectance might not be detected.

To reactivate them, simply press the same button or disengage reverse gear and re-engage it.
warning and the
downward arrow icon that lights up on the display will indicate the sensors are active
Obstacles are signaled by different audible tones and the lighting up of the relative detection zones
and distance on the display.
The faster the beeping, the closer the obstacle; a continuous tone indicates the obstacle is extremely
close to the bumper.
To deactivate the sensors (when reverse gear is engaged), simply press the push-button on the right
hand side of the display; the “OFF” sign will light up on the bottom part of the displayed vehicle and the
downward arrow will turn off to indicate the sensors are deactivated
In areas with high RF disturbances, the antenna icon will light up on the display and a
ticking sound will be heard.
The display will turn off after a few seconds and will light up again after the disturbances
cease.
Clean the sensors
Use the angle brackets (9 or 12) to tilt axe of sensors upwards
Create a separation between the sensors and the vehicle (at
least 2mm)
Modify the setting of parameter 11

3.1 - SLOW POWER SUPPLY SIGNAL
3.2 - FAULTY SENSORS
If, when the reverse gear id engaged, the battery level is too low to guarantee the accuracy of the
system,
.
the system activation signal will almost immediately sound (lower sound than usual) but the
sensors will not work.
When nominal tension is restored, the sensors will start working normally
If, when ignition is turned on or reverse gear is engaged, one of the sensors turns out to be inoperative
or not connected, the vehicle icon will light up on the display together with the arrow and the
inoperative sensor (or sensors).
The icon of the inoperative sensor will flash as long as reverse is engaged; the other sensors will
operate normally.
