1.0 - PRELIMINARY ADVICE

Dear customer, Before installing, identify your kit and refer to it for the correct instructions. The Caution and Warning signs in this manual provide important notices for installing and using this product. Be sure to follow them in order to ensure a safe and reliable use:

For the user.

This sign highlightsusefulinformationor indications regardingthe use of theparking

system.

USER MANUAL

2.0 - SYSTEM OPERATION

Remember to always look around the vehicle while parking.

Small obstacles or objects with low reflectance might not be detected.

The parking system is designed only as a parking aid, it should not be considered to

replace care and attentiveness while manoeuvring.

The rear sensors deactivated with the push-button on the display will stay deactivated

even when system is reactivated (reverse gear is engaged).

To reactivate them press the push-button.

The front sensors operate according to connections and settings.

2.1 - DETECTION ZONES

Detection zones are indicated as “F” (front) and “R” (rear).

Detection zones closest to the obstacle are indicated as “FC” (front) and “RC” (rear)

and displayed as “STOP”.

The STOP zone is the minimum distance detected between an obstacle and the sensor

and 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 distance and the

2.2 - REAR SENSORS

The rear sensors are activated when reverse gear is engaged; an audible signal

warning and the downward arrow icon that lights up on the display will indicate the sensors are active. Obstacles are signaled by different audible tones and the lighting up of the relative detection zones and distance on the display. The faster the beeping, the closer the obstacle; a continuous tone indicates the obstacle is extremely close to the bumper. To deactivate the sensors (when reverse gear is engaged), simply press the push-button on the right hand side of the display; the “OFF” sign will light up on the bottom part of the displayed vehicle and the downward arrow will turn off to indicate the sensors are deactivated To reactivate them,simply press the samebutton

3.0 - TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

3.1 - LOW POWER SUPPLY SIGNAL

If, when the system is turned on, the battery level is too low to guarantee the accuracy of the system, after a few seconds, the following icons will be displayed: vehicle, front sensors arrow icon and four front detection zones closest to the bumper. The arrow and the detection zones icons will flash for about 8/10 seconds. This will inform the driver thatALL sensors are deactivated and that he will have to carry out reversing and parking manoeuvers without the help of the sensors. When nominal tension is restored, the rear sensors will start working normally. To activate thefront sensors, cut andrestore supply to the front control unit (turn ignition off and on

Engagement of the reverse gear activates the rear sensors but also the front sensors if

they are programmed to work on a “time-activation” basis.

2.3 -.AUTOMATIC ACTIVATION OF FRONT SENSORS (odometer signal)

Front sensors are activated whenever ignition is turned ON and are automatically deactivated when speed exceeds about 15Km/h

On some vehicles, when speed exceeds 10Km/h, no icon could be displayed even

though the system is active.

The sensors can still be deactivated with the push-button.

In case of need (vehicles in queue), press the push-button with the upward arrow to deactivate the sensors. In this case the “OFF” sign will light up on the displayed vehicle.

2.4 - )TIME-ACTIVATED FRONT SENSORS (odometer not connected

To time-activate the sensors, a parameter must be be modified (see chapter “setting of

parameters).

When the setting is modified, the OFF sign is not displayed when the left hand side

push-button is pressed because the sensors will automatically activate when ignition is

turned on again.

The front sensors are activated by turning on ignition; an upward arrow icon will light up on the display to indicate activation. Functioning is parameters.

directly related to the setting of the To deactivate the sensors, simply press the display left-hand side push-button; the upward arrow icon on the display will turn off By modifying the of the front sensors (function 13, ), the front sensors

will work as follows:

If, within the preset time, no obstacle is detected in front of the vehicle, the sensors will

automatically be deactivated. If, within the preset time, the obstacle is still detected, the sensors will remain active as long as the

obstacle is detected and will deactivate 3” after detecting the last obstacle. If you need to use the front sensors again after the automatic deactivation, simply press the left

push-button. The sensors will automatically deactivate 3” after detecting the last obstacle.

SENSORS ANOMALY INDICATION

If one of the sensors turns out to be inoperative or disconnected, a few seconds after the control unit is turned on, the following icons willbe displayed: vehicle,front sensors arrowand inoperative sensor(or sensors)

. If parameter 13 has not been modified and is set to “0”, the front sensors arrow and detection zones will flash as long as the control unit remains active. If, on the other hand, parameter 13 has been modified, the front sensors arrow and detection zones will flash for about 8/10 seconds. All other sensors will operate normally. If one of the rear sensors turns out to be inoperative when reverse gear is engaged, the front sensors arrow and inoperative sensor (or sensors) icon will flash as long as reverse gear is engaged (and 8/10 seconds after reverse is disengaged

SOLUTION

Clean the sensors

In areas with high RF disturbances, the antenna icon will light up on the display and a

ticking sound will be heard.

If the disturbance affects the rear control unit, it will deactivate within a few seconds (the

downward arrow icon will turn off).

If the disturbance affects the front control unit, it will deactivate within a few seconds
