About the product
Parking assist system is an ultrasonic distance
monitoring system. It electronically detects the area
in front of and at the rear of your vehicle while parking,
and alerts you with audible and visual warnings. It
assists the driver when parking and in a maneuvering
situation.
The PTS600MM/PTS800MM series products are front
and rear parking assist systems with two independent
ECUs and displays. The front system is designed for
front bumper protection and can work as a 2-sensor
system. The rear system is ideal for cars with tow bars
or spare wheels. Combined with functions such as
automatic radio mute, self-test function, and intelligent
detection for spare tire or metal bar (front & rear), the
PTS600MM/PTS800MM can provide you with complete
protection.
The M5, M6 and M8 displays can be used for both
front and rear systems. They are slim and stylish. It
is easy for you to get the information of the obstacle
directly and they are all easy to install. When using
them for a front system, they can be mounted on the
dashboard or on top of the rear-view mirror. When
using them for a rear system, they can be installed on
the rear headlining.
All parts of our products have passed the most stringent
testing before they are released into the market. The
product is reliable at a wide temperature range (-40°C
~ +80°C/-40°F~+185°F) meaning it will still continue
to function when you are parking on a raining day,
snowing day or at night etc. With the help of Steelmate
parking assist system, you can enjoy a more relaxed
and safer parking experience.

Radio mute function 6 / 8-sensor automatic recognition
When reverse gear is engaged, the system will
automatically mute the car audio.
This function aims to help the driver to reverse
safely without distraction.
This system can be used as a 6 or 8-sensor system.
This has to be done by connecting the 2 middle
sensors (F & G) or 2 side sensors (E & H) in the
front.
Note:
The warning distance for E & H sensor is <0.9m/2.7ft.
The warning distance for F & G sensor is <1.0m/3.2ft.

Learning function for cars with front metal bar
Turn the ignition on, press the footbrake and connect the green learning wire (located in the main front ECU
wiring loom) to a +12V power supply. The system will perform learning procedure.
The LED light will flash once, then turn on and give 2 audible tones. This indicates that the learning function
is successful and the system will ignore the front protrusion. Once programmed, disconnect the green wire
and insulate it.
Learning function for cars with rear tow-bar or spare wheel
Turn the ignition on, then within 10 seconds, shift the vehicle in and out of reverse gear 5 times staying in
reverse position on the 5th time.
The display will flash and give an audible tone, this indicates that the learning function is successful and
the system will not warn for tow-bar or spare wheel.

Troubleshooting
After installation, the display doesn't work
a) Are all wires connected properly?
b) Is the vehicle's ignition ON?
Damaged sensor detected
a) Are all sensors plugged into the ECU correctly
and tightly?
b) Is the sensor wire broken?
c) Is the sensor covered by mud or snow?
d) Is the sensor damaged?
False warning
a) Are all sensors plugged into the ECU in the
correct position tightly?
b) Does any sensor detect the ground?
c) Does rubber ring in the sensor come out (14D
sensor)?
Warning sound is too low or too high
a) Press the Volume button to adjust the volume
to a suitable level.
If the problem persists, please follow these
steps
a) For consumer contact your dealer or nearby
service centre.
b) For installer or dealer

recheck.
4) Email your question to us and we will reply
ASAP.
Attention Sensor maintenance
Do not wash the sensor with squirt gun or
swab them forcibly.
Please wash car with low-pressure water.
Please melt the ice with water when the
sensors are covered by ice.
Please clean the sensors with cloth or low-
pressure water when the sensors are covered
by mud or snow.

False detection may occur in the following
situations:
*After installation, please fully test the system
before use.
