WARNING

DANGER

This symbol means important instructions.
What to do in the case of an extremely critical
situation wherein someone may suffer grave
or mortal injury.

DO NOT PROCEED TO BACK UP YOUR VEHICLE WHILE
PEOPLE ARE IN YOUR VIEW OR THE CAMERA’S VIEW.
SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH CAN RESULT.

WARNING

This symbol means important instructions.
Failure to heed them can result in serious
injury or death.

WHEN USING SYSTEM, THE DRIVER MUST VISUALLY
CHECK ACTUAL CONDITIONS AROUND THE VEHICLE.
MAKE SURE THERE ARE NO PERSONS OR ANIMALS
IN THE AREA IN WHICH YOU ARE MANEUVERING
OTHERWISE YOU COULD INJURE THEM.

A camera assists the driver by sending images to the screen
showing conditions in view of the camera. The camera uses
a wide-angle lens, therefore, there is a difference in distance
perspective between what is normally seen and what appears
on the screen. Also, the images shown by the rear view camera
are reversed, so as to appear the same as what is seen through
the rearview mirror.

The system may not perform to full capability due to
variables such as:

• weather conditions such as hard rain, snow, fog or mud

• extremely high or low temperatures near camera and/

orsensor

• slope of vehicle and/or roadway

• direct exposure to very bright light such as headlamp or

bright sunlight

• moving from very dark to very bright light and vice versa

such as in parking garages or tunnels

• extremely low light areas

• walls or objects that are located diagonally in relation to

the camera

• retracted mirrors that change camera viewing angle

• open doors or trunks

• changes to height of vehicle due to loading capacity or

hydraulic suspensions

• objects located at the corner of the vehicle

CHECK THAT THE CAMERA AND/OR SENSOR MOUNTING
IS ATTACHED SECURELY, AND THAT THE SCREWS ARE
TIGHT BEFORE DRIVING.

Failure to do so may result in an accident.

WHEN INSTALLING OR CHECKING A CAMERA AND/OR
SENSOR, DO SO AFTER PARKING THE CAR IN A LEVEL,
SAFE PLACE, TURNING OFF THE ENGINE, AND APPLYING
THE HAND BRAKE.

Failure to do so may result in an accident.

WHEN INSTALLING CAMERA AND/OR SENSOR, BE
SURE TO USE SPECIFIC VEHICLE C ALIBRATION KIT
OTHERWISE IT WILL NOT ACCURATELY DISPLAY
IMAGES.

Failure to do so may result in an accident.

MINIMIZE DISPLAY VIEWING WHILE DRIVING.

Viewing the display may distract the driver from looking
ahead of the vehicle and cause an accident.

DO NOT DISASSEMBLE OR ALTER.

Doing so may result in an accident, fire or electric shock.

KEEP SMALL OBJECTS SUCH AS BOLTS OR SCREWS OUT
OF THE REACH OF CHILDREN.

Swallowing them may result in serious injury. If swallowed,
consult a physician immediately.

USE THE CORRECT AMPERE RATING WHEN REPLACING
FUSES.

Failure to do so may result in fire or electric shock.

and fix them securely to avoid heat/mechanical damage to
the cable insulation, which may result in a short circuit, fire
or electric shock.

DO NOT SPLICE INTO ELECTRICAL CABLES.

Never cut away cable insulation to supply power to other
equipment. Doing so will exceed the current carrying
capacity of the wire and result in fire or electric shock.

DO NOT INSTALL IN LOCATIONS WHICH MIGHT HINDER
VEHICLE OPERATION, SUCH AS THE STEERING WHEEL
OR SHIFT LEVER.

Doing so may obstruct forward vision or hamper movement
etc. and results in serious accident.

DO NOT DAMAGE PIPE OR WIRING WHEN DRILLING
HOLES.

When drilling holes in the chassis for installation, take
precautions so as not to contact, damage or obstruct pipes,
fuel lines, tanks or electrical wiring. Failure to take such
precautions may result in fire.

DO NOT USE BOLTS OR NUTS IN THE BRAKE OR
STEERING SYSTEMS TO MAKE GROUND CONNECTIONS.

Bolts or nuts used for the brake or steering systems (or any
other safety-related system), or tanks should NEVER be used
for installations or ground connections. Using such parts
could disable control of the vehicle and cause fire etc.

2-EN

DO NOT ALLOW CABLES TO BECOME ENTANGLED IN
SURROUNDING OBJECTS.

Arrange wiring and cables in compliance with the manual
to prevent obstructions when driving. Cables or wiring that
obstruct or hang up on places such as the steering wheel, shift
lever, brake pedals, etc. can be extremely hazardous.

USE THIS PRODUCT FOR MOBILE 12V APPLICATIONS.

Use for other than its designed application may result in fire,
electric shock or other injury.

USE ONLY IN CARS WITH A 12 VOLT NEGATIVE GROUND.

(Check with your dealer if you are not sure.) Failure to do so
may result in fire, etc.

WHEN USING A DRILL TO MAKE A HOLE, TAKE
PRECAUTIONS SUCH AS WEARING GOGGLES SO
FRAGMENTS DO NOT GET INTO THE EYES.

Failure to do so may result in injury.

CALIBRATION REQUIRED.

Calibration may be required for adjusting parking guideline.

BE CAREFUL WHEN SETTING THE ALARM VOLUME.

Set the alarm volume to an audible level. If the alarm cannot
be heard due to the volume of the car radio, etc., it might
result in an accident.

CAUTION

This symbol means important instructions.
Failure to heed them can result in injury or
material property damage.

DO NOT AT TACH THE CAMERA AND/OR SENSOR
MOUNTING TO FLUOROC ARBON RESIN FINISHED CAR

Doing so could cause the strength of the mounting to
weaken, which could cause it to fall of and cause accidents,
injury, or damage to the car body.

DO NOT AT TACH THE CAMERA AND/OR SENSOR
MOUNTING TO ANY SURFACE WHERE THE ENTIRE
ADHESIVE SURFACE CANNOT BE APPLIED.

Doing so could cause the strength of the mounting to
weaken, which could cause it to fall of and cause accidents,
injury, or damage to the car body.

EXCEPT FOR THE CAMERA AND/OR SENSOR, DO NOT
ATTACH ANY PARTS TO AREAS WHICH WILL GET WET,
OR WHERE THERE IS A LOT OF HUMIDITY OR DUST.

Failure to do so may result in fire or damage.

USE SPECIFIED ACCESSORY PARTS AND INSTALL THEM
SECURELY.

Be sure to use only the specified accessory parts. Use of other
than designated parts may damage this unit internally or may
not securely install the unit in place. This may cause parts to
become loose resulting in hazards or product failure.

EXPERTS.

The wiring and installation of this unit requires special
technical skill and experience. To ensure safety, always
contact the dealer where you purchased this product to
havethe work done.

ARRANGE THE WIRING SO IT IS NOT CRIMPED OR
PINCHED BY A SHARP METAL EDGE.

Route the cables and wiring away from moving parts (like
the seat rails) or sharp or pointed edges. This will prevent
crimping and damage to the wiring.

HALT USE IMMEDIATELY IF A PROBLEM APPEARS.

Failure to do so may cause personal injury or damage to the
product. Return it to your authorized Alpine dealer or the
nearest Alpine Service Center for repairing.

CHECK WIRING WHEN ATTACHING.

Double-check your wiring to ensure all connections are
correct and secure. Also, do not apply unnecessary force to
the harness. This can result in battery failure, performance
failure, connector damage, or wire breakage.

This system uses ultrasonic sensors to help sharpen the
driver’s detection of obstacles. It is used when parking in a
garage or a narrow passage. As such, this system does not
relieve the driver of the obligation to pay attention to his/
her driving, and the driver should exercise safe driving habits
without relying heavily on this system. The detection range
of the Visual Parking Assist Sensor System (VPASS system) is
restricted to the area around the bumper. When moving the
car either forward or backward, drive slowly and keep a safe
distance around the vehicle. To ensure the sensors function
accurately, never install accessories in close proximity to the
sensors.

1 The detecting function might not

operate properly under the following
conditions:

• When the detection sensors become frozen. (Normal

function resumes after defrosting.)

3-EN

• When the detection sensors are clogged with foreign matter

such as show, mud or icicles. (Normal function resumes
after removal.)

• When a detection sensor is subject to a strong impact.

2 The detecting range could decrease

under the following conditions:

• When the vehicle is parked for a long period of time in the

sunlight or in cold weather.

3 The Parking Corner Sensor might

not be able to detect the following
objects:

• Rope, wire, small-diameter pipes or objects made of these

materials, such as wire fences.

• Objects that absorb sound waves easily, such as fabrics or

other soft, absorbent materials.

• When a sensor is covered by something. (The function

resumes after removal.)

• When the detection sensors are clogged with mud, snow

or icicles.

4-EN

• When the vehicle is parked at extreme angles in relation to

surrounding objects.

• When getting too close to an obstacle (< 0.7ft) as the

sensors might have a false detection; for example: no beep,
slow beep, fast beep or three fast beeps.

• Objects around the lower part of the bumper. Even if the

sensors detect a low object initially, when the vehicle is
driven closer to the object, the buzzer might suddenly stop
beeping.

Obstacles being lowered from above, such as a garage door.

• Non-reflecting objects that project at sharp or acute angles

in relation to the sensors.

• Heavy rain or a large amount of water (or splash) on the

sensors.

Caring for the Backup Sensors

1. Wipe the sensors clean with a clean cloth. Flush with low­pressure water if the sensors are clogged with mud or dirt.

2. Do not spray the sensors with high-pressure water, as
provided at a self-serve car wash.

Obstacles that project out high above the floor.

NOTICE

• When washing the vehicle, do not use an automatic car
washer, or high-pressure washer. Doing so could cause the
camera and/or object sensor to come off, damage to the
device cords, or may allow water to enter the camera and/
or object sensor.

• In some cases, to attach the device, a hole must be drilled
in the car body, requiring use of touch-up paint (retail
product) for rust-prevention, and should be prepared
beforehand.

• Route the cables and wiring away from hot or moving
parts, and fix them securely to avoid heat/mechanical
damage to the cable insulation, which may result in short­circuit, fire or electric shock.

Sensor Operation

Introduction

Thank you for purchasing this Visual Parking
Assist Sensor System (VPASS system). Please read
this User’s Information Manual carefully before
using the VPASS system.

This Owners Manual contains important
information about the safe operation of the
VPASS system. We urge you to read this manual
carefully, and follow its recommendations to help
make your driving trouble-free and enjoyable.

Important Information

Before using the backup sensors, make sure
you read and understand the operation and
limitations of the system as discussed throughout
this manual.

The backup sensors make an audible sound
when they detect large stationary objects while
maneuvering the vehicle in reverse gear at low
speed. However, not all obstacles may be detected.

Even with backup sensors, the driver should
always look for obstacles near the vehicle and
make sure the path is clear when driving in
reverse gear.

Never rely solely on the backup sensors; always
look behind you before backing up. The sensors
may not always detect people or animals in the
path of your vehicle.

How the Visual Parking Assist
Sensor System Works

The system is ready for operation when the
ignition switch is turned ON and the shift lever is
moved to the reverse position.

The visual parking assist sensor system alerts
you with an audible signal and visual alert when
the rear bumper of your vehicle is approaching an
obstacle.
