Parking assist systems help to provide assistance
when driving forward or reversing. Driving skills,
such as slowing down, use of mirrors etc. are always
essential.
1. This unit is for vehicles with 12V DC.
2. Unit should be installed by a professional auto
technician.
3. Route wiring harness away from heat sources
and electrical components.
4. It is strongly recommended to check the position
of the sensors before the actual drilling of the holes.
5. Perform test after finishing the installation.
The parking assist system is designed as a driver
assistance device, and should not be used as a
substitute for safe parking practices. You must
constantly check the outside circumstance while
parking.
Its distributors do not guarantee or assume liability

When the learning function is activated,
the system will ignore the tow-bar or
spare wheel and only detect other
objects behind the vehicle.
The display will flash 3 times then beep
once, this indicates that the learning
function is successful and the system
will not warn for tow-bar or spare wheel.
Ignition on, shift the gear from "N" to "R" and shift back in 1
second and repeat for 10 times. At the 10th time stay at "R"
position for 6 seconds to achieve the learning function.
Ignition on, shift the gear from "N" to "R" and shift back in 1
second and repeat for 12 times. At the 12th time stay at "R"
position for 8 seconds to clean the learning function.
Note: If you forget the shift-times, please stay at "R" position
for 2 seconds to clean the memory and next time will be the
first time.
Note: If the vehicle does not have tow-bar or spare wheel, you do not need to use this function.

Troubleshooting
After installation, the display doesn’t work
a) Are all wires connected properly?
b) Is the ignition turned on?
c) Is the reverse gear selected or is the footbrake
pressed?
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?
The object position does not correspond to
the correct indicator on the blue digital display.
a) Are the sensor cables connected to the control
unit (ECU) in the correct position?
False warning
a) Are all sensors plugged into the ECU in the
correct position tightly?
b) Does any sensor detect the ground?
Warning sound is too low or too high
a) Press the "Volume" buttons to adjust the volume
to a suitable level.
No voice warning
a) Check whether the voice warning is switched
on.
The display always shows 0.4/15.7ft~0.
6m/23.6ft.
a) Are sensors mounted too low or detecting the
ground?
b) Check whether the sensor is installed up-side-
down.
c) Unplug 1 sensor at a time to check for root
cause.
If the problem persists, please follow these
steps
a) For consumers: contact your dealer or nearby
