2.0 - WARRANTY CONDITIONS
This product is guaranteed to be free from defects in workmanship for a period of 24 months from the
date of installation reported on this warranty, in compliance with the 1999/44/CE Warranty Directive
(L. D. N°24 of the 02/02/2002).
Please fill-in entirely the guarantee certificate included in this booklet and DO NOT REMOVE the
guarantee label fromthe device.
The warranty will become void if labels are missing or torn, if the installation certificate is not fully
compiled or ifthe enclosed sale document is missing.
The warranty isvalid exclusively at authorized Gemini Technologiescenters.
The manufacturerdeclines any responsability for eventualmalfunctions of the parking sensorsor any
damage to thevehicle electrical system due to improperinstallation, use or tampering.
The parkingsystem is strictlya parking assistdevice, it shouldnot be consideredto be asafety device
for any purpose.
The parking system is designed only as a parking aid, it should not be considered to
replace care and attentiveness while manoeuvring.
Remember to always look behind the vehicle while parking.
Small obstacles or objects with low reflectance might not be detected.
3.1 - DETECTION ZONES
Detection zones are indicated as “R” (rear).
Detection zones closest to the obstacle are indicated as “RC”.
The STOP zone is the minimum distance detected between an obstacle and the sensor.
In this case the warning tone is solid.
The detection range and the volume of the buzzer can be adjusted (see setting of
parameters) according to the needs of the user and the vehicle on which the system is
installed.
The sound alert will vary according to the detection zone.stage-by-stage
For the overall functionality of the parking system, check the programming of the
sensors.

5.0 - INSTALLATION OF SENSORS
To install the sensors on a metal bumper, you must use appropriate adapters (not
supplied).
Before drilling, inspect behind the bumper to check for any possible obstruction such as
iron struts and, in any case, be careful to avoid damaging parts behind the bumper.

For brackets “6” drill holes with a 18mm diameter, for brackets “6a” drill holes with a 22mm
diameter and for brackets “8” and “9” drill holes with a 24mm diameter.

3.2 - REAR SENSORS
The rear sensors are activated when reverse gear is engaged; an audible signal will indicate the
sensors are active.
Detection of obstaclesis signalled by the buzzer.
The tone ofthe buzzer indicates in which detectionzone theobstacle is located.
The faster thebeeping, the closer the obstacle..
By means of a specific connection, the system functioning can be inhibited in case of
towing.
4.0 - TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
4.1 - LOW POWER SUPPLY SIGNAL
4.2 - FAULTY SENSORS
If, when the control unit is turned on, the battery level is too low to guarantee the accuracy of the
system, the buzzerwill almost immediately give out adeep warning tone for 5”.
This will informthe user thatALL thesensors are deactivated.
The driver willtherefore know that he will haveto do without the parking sensors.
If, when the controlunit is turned on or the reversegear is engaged, one of the sensors turns out to be
inoperative or notconnected,an audio signal will sound for3”.
If more than one sensor isinoperative, thenumber of the faulty sensors will be alternatively displayed
on the maincontrol unit.
Sensor 1 inoperative. Sensor 4 inoperative
One single faulty sensor alters the correct functioning of the whole parking
system.
Ice on sensors
Sensors mounted too low
Back part of sensors in contact with frame
Sensors detect external spare wheel
POSSIBLE CAUSE
Clean the sensors
Use the angle brackets (6a or 9) to tilt axe of sensors
upwards
Create a separation between the sensors and the vehicle
Modify the setting of parameter 10
SOLUTION
4.3 - OTHERS
If necessary, adjust the sensors sensitivity level (see chap. 8.0, Setting of parameter -
parameter 17).

Position the control unit (4) in the luggage compartment, in a dry place, away from eventual water
infiltrations and heatsources.
Run the cablesalong the rear bumper and routethem inside the luggage compartment.
Fix the buzzer (3) inside the vehicle cabin where you can hear the warning signal. Make sure you
install it ina dry spot, away from eventualwater infiltrations and heat sources.
Connect the BLACK-BLUE wire of the control unit wiring harness (5) to the positive of the reverse
light.
Connect the BROWNwire to the metal frame ofthe vehicle (ground).
Plug the buzzer (3) terminals with the YELLOWand BLUE wires to the main control unit connector
(5), respectively inpositions 15 and 3.
(Optional) connect the GREY-RED wire for the “mute” feature to the corresponding wire of the car
radio preset forthis feature.
Plug the 24-way connector of the rear sensors wiring into the corresponding connector of the
control unit (4).
