Prior To Installation
Read all the installation instructions carefully before installing
the product. Improper installation will void manufacturer’s
warranty. The installation instructions do not apply to all
types of vehicles, and are written as guidelines to assist in
installing the system.
Consult an experienced technician if you are not comfortable
installing the product. You can also contact Winplus at
866.294.9244 to speak to one of our installation specialist if
you have any specic questions regarding Blind Spot Assist
System.
BEFORE using the Blind Spot Assist System, please read
the following safety information. ALWAYS use the Blind
Spot Assist System as outlined here.
WARNING:
• A failure to read and follow these warnings and instructions
may result in a serious accident, including damaged
property or a serious injury, including loss of life.
• The Blind Spot Assist System is designed as an aid to the
driver in detecting large objects to help avoid damaging
the vehicle. However, you, the driver, must use it safely
and properly. Use of the Blind Spot Assist System is not
a substitute for safe, proper and legal driving.
• Never change lane or operate the vehicle while looking
only at the display. You should always check behind and
around the vehicle when changing lane just as you would
if the vehicle did not have the Blind Spot Assist System.
Always make sure your intended path is clear. If you
operate a vehicle while looking only at the display, you
may hit a vehicle, pedestrian, bicyclist, child, pet or other
object resulting in injury or death.
• Never depend on the Blind Spot Assist System entirely
when operating a vehicle. The object distance varies
on the speed of the vehicle and is different from various
conditions. Actual distance of the objects differs because
of the angle of the sensors. Use the inside mirror or
glance over your shoulder to properly judge distances to
other objects.
• The Blind Spot Assist System is an aid to drivers but
is limited. Always use your own eyes to conrm the
vehicle’s surroundings. Always check behind and all
around the vehicle visually and with mirrors before
proceeding.
• The area covered by the Blind Spot Assist System is
limited. The Blind Spot Assist System does not sense
objects that are below the bumper, underneath the
vehicle, or objects out of the sensor’s eld of view. The
sensor and display operation may vary according to
vehicle orientation or road conditions.
• The Blind Spot Assist System is not intended for use
during longer driving maneuvers or backing into potential
crossing trafc or pedestrians. Crossing trafc or
pedestrians may be approaching outside of the sensor’s
eld of view.
• Be sure to check the senor’s position and mounting angle
before each use.
• Make sure the trunk, hatch, or backdoor is completely
and securely closed when backing up and operating the
vehicle.
• If the back of the vehicle is hit, the position and mounting
angle of the Blind Spot Assist System may change.

Package Content
CAUTION: Keep away from reach of children may cause
serious injury.
• When washing the vehicle with high-pressure water, be
sure not to spray directly into the sensor. Otherwise,
water may enter the sensor unit causing water
condensation, malfunction, re or an electric shock.
• Do not strike the sensors. It is a precision instrument.
Otherwise, it may malfunction or cause damage resulting in
a re or an electric shock.
• This product will only monitor obstacles that are within
the eld of view of the sensors. Thus, it is imperative that
the sensors should be kept clean and unobstructed, and
should be mounted so that its eld of view includes the
blind spot area behind your vehicle.
• Distracted driving is dangerous.
• Adhere to all applicable trafc laws and motor vehicle
regulations applicable to the device.
• Consult local laws and regulations for any restrictions on
installation or use.
• Never allow children to play with the device. Small parts
may be a choking hazard.

SAFE OPERATING TIPS
• Do not scratch the sensor when cleaning dirt or snow
from the cover.
• The sensor has a water resistant construction. Do not
detach, disassemble or modify it. This may cause
incorrect operation. Sensor is water resistant but not
waterproof.
• Do not submerged sensor in water, which can cause
internal damage.
• If the temperature changes rapidly, such as when hot
water is poured on the vehicle in cold weather, the system
may not operate normally. The system can withstand the
effects of rain, snow, and inclement weather.
• If dirt, rain or snow attaches to the sensor, the system
may not clearly sense objects. If water droplets, snow or
mud adhere to the sensor lens, rinse with water and wipe
with a dry cloth.
• Do not use alcohol, benzene or thinner to clean the
sensors. This will damage the sensors. To clean the
sensors, wipe with a clean a cloth dampened with mild
cleaner diluted with water and then wipe with a dry cloth.
• The system is only designed to help detect obstacles in
the vehicle’s blind spots. WINPLUS is not responsible for
damages on the system or the vehicle if used for other
purposes.
• ALWAYS engage Parking/Emergency/Hand Brakes of the
vehicle when testing the system.
• The system is designed to ADD safety and protection.
The device was NOT designed to replace other safe
driving habits. Double checking and looking around
before performing vehicle maneuvers is STILL the safest
way.
• Do not paint over the sensor because it will affect the
degrade the sensitivity or damage the system completely.

SAFETY AROUND AND BEHIND OTHER VEHICLES
Using the blind spot assist system is not enough to
completely overcome a vehicle’s blind spot. Many
preventable injuries and deaths occur in driveways or
parking lots when drivers do not see children, pets, or others
near their vehicles. Here are a few safety tips that will help
you to avoid a backover accident.
• Walk completely around your vehicle before getting in.
Check for kids, toys, and pets before entering the vehicle
and starting the engine.
• Know where children are. Have children stand in a place
where they are in full view.
• Be aware of young children. Young children are small and
hard to see.
• Parents, caregivers and all adults need to be vigilant in
supervising children, especially when children are in the
yard, driveway or parking lot playing near parked cars.
• Roll down your window so you will be able to hear what is
happening outside your vehicle.
• Owners of SUVs, trucks, and vans need to take extra care
to avoid hitting or running over a child.
• Teach children to move away from a vehicle whenever it is
started.
