Mobileye 5 to your dealer, in its original packing materials, within 30 days of
purchase, for a full refund.
Mobileye 5 is a driver assistance system which is intended to alert drivers to certain
potentially dangerous situations. It does not replace any functions drivers would
ordinarily perform in driving a motor vehicle, nor does it decrease the need for
drivers to stay vigilant and alert in all driving conditions, to conform to all safe driving
standards and practices, and to obey all traffic laws, rules and regulations.
Mobileye 5 is not an automated driving system and it does not act as a substitute for
any aspect of driver vehicle control or safe driving practices. Drivers are strongly
cautioned not to rely on the Mobileye 5 as a substitution, to even the slightest
degree, for the exercise of due caution in assuring that they are driving safely and
avoiding accidents.
While Mobileye 5 represents a state of the art innovation in machine vision software
and other technologies, it cannot and does not guarantee 100% accuracy in the
detection of vehicles or driving lanes, nor in providing warnings of all potential road
hazards. Mobileye 5 system’s recognition and response capabilities. Accordingly,
drivers should not rely on the Mobileye 5 to assure their driving safety, but rather
should continue to rely on safe driving practices.
Drivers should exercise caution in using the Mobileye 5 Display Unit. Always maintain
full concentration on the road at all times including while looking at the Mobileye 5
display
1.2 System Limitations

3.2.1 Mobileye 5 Connection Scheme
Please ensure that you identify the Mobileye 5 cables according to diagram below.
The paragraphs that follow will present the function of each cable, and then guide
you through their actual connection procedures with the car signals.
3.2.2 Connecting to Vehicle Signals
CAUTION: Identifying the vehicle’s electrical signals requires having the keys in the
ignition in the ACC (Accessory) position or Ignition ON. Make sure the car
headlights and/or any other power consuming devices are turned off during
Mobileye 5 installation to prevent battery drainage.
1. Identify the wires in the vehicle that carry the required electrical signals
(according to table below).
2. After identifying the required signals locations in the vehicle, pass the
Mobileye 5 cable (CAB000105) behind the vehicle trimmings so that it
reaches all vehicle signals (it is recommended to hang the Mobileye 5 Main

cable behind the vehicle trimmings).
3. Firmly connect the appropriate wire from the Mobileye 5 (CAB000105) to the
identified vehicle signal.
Each wire in the Mobileye 5 cable mentioned above has a unique color.
Make sure to connect the correct vehicle signal to its appropriate wire
according to Table 2-7.

4. Keep the Mobileye 5 EyeCAN and EyeWatch connectors easily accessible.
3.2.3 Installing the EyeWatch (optional)
1. Select the optimal location for the EyeWatch. The unit should be placed on
the dashboard at a location which is in the driver's field of view and
convenient for him to see when driving, and to allow him access to the
controls while seating comfortably in the driver's seat (the EyeWatch
mounting angle is adjustable by the installer, a Philips screw driver is
required).
2. Clean the selected location with the provided 3M VHB Surface cleaner.
3. Attach the EyeWatch to the selected area (remove the protective cover from
the adhesive tape).
4. Remove transparent protecting cover from the display surface

5. Insert the EyeWatch cable (CAB000087) behind the vehicle the trimmings so
that it reaches the EyeWatch connector of the Mobileye 5 cable (CAB000105).
WARNINGS!
- The EyeWatch and Main Unit should be placed in a location that does not obstruct
the driver’s field of view.
-The EyeWatch should not be placed in front of air-bags operational space. The unit
may prevent the air-bag from fully opening and/or may cause injury during air-bag
activation.
-Attaching the EyeWatch on the Vehicle’s windshield is not recommended
(EyeWatch may overheat).
3.2.4 Installing the Mobileye 5 Main Unit (Camera)
3.2.4.1 Selecting the optimal location for the Main Unit:
Select the optimal location for the Main Unit. Please comply with the following
requirements as incorrect positioning may affect the overall performance of the
system.
The Main Unit should preferably be placed at the top of the
windshield (preferably at a height over 1.2 meter), in an area
well covered by the windshield wipers.
The Main Unit should be placed at approximately the center
of the vehicle widthwise. If this is not possible it should be
within the central third of the vehicle width. It should be
noted that some car models have convex windshield
(sideways), which intensifies the problem of an off-center
installation.
The validation to the windshield edges allows an offset up to
25cm only. The preferable position of the Main Unit is in the
middle of the windshield. If this is not possible we allow up to
25 cm offset to one of the sides but no more so to not cause
reduction in system performance.
There should be no occlusions such as stickers or darkened
windshield areas in front of the Main Unit.

Mobileye Proprietary and Confidential
In tall commercial vehicles that do not have an engine hood
occluding the field of view of the camera, the v Main Unit can
be placed on the lower part of the windshield, while
considering all of the above-mentioned requirements. In this
case, you can modify the Main Unit cable to the "DOWN"
position. “DOWN” means that after the Main Unit installation,
the Main Unit cable exits the Main Unit downwards, instead of
upwards (which is the case in the default “UP” position.
3.2.4.2 Attaching the Camera to the Windshield
1. Before starting the Main Unit installation, make sure that the car is not
loaded with unusual heavy cargo that can tilt the orientation of the car body.
2. Make sure the vehicle is standing on a flat surface with no side or forward
slope.
3. Clean the intended installation location on the windshield using the 3M VHB
Surface Cleaner to remove oily or other remains.
4. Wipe the installation area on the windshield by thoroughly using a dry wipe
(important since the 3M VHB Surface Cleaner that removes oily substances
may leave marks on the windshield that will obstruct the camera’s field of
view)
