Marking and Drilling Holes

1. Mark the locations of the sensors on the rear bumper using a grease pencil.

a. Identify the sensors height on the bumper and mark. The sensor

height should be between 19.5” and 27.5” from the ground.

b. Mark the location of the left sensor by measuring between 6” to

12”from the left edge of the bumper toward the center. Repeat from
the right edge of the bumper.

c. Determine the center of your bumper and mark. Measuring 12” to 18”

from the center mark, determine the location of the center two sensors
and mark, keeping the four sensors equally spaced (see Figure 1).

d. Inspect behind the bumper where the sensors are to be located to

check for possible obstructions, including metal braces, electrica l
wires, and clearance. The sensors need 1” of clearance behind the
bumper to be fully inserted and mounted securely. Do not mount
sensors directly above exhaust pipes. Relocate the sensors if any
