To help you make informed decisions about safety, we have provided operating procedures and other information on labels in the vehicle owner’s manual, and in this manual. This information alerts you to potential hazards that could hurt you or others.

• Safety Labels - on the vehicle.

• Safety Messages - preceded by safety alert symbol and one of three signal words: DANGER, WARNING, or CAUTION. These signal words mean:

You WILL be KILLED or SERIOUSLY HURT if you don’t follow instructions.

You CAN be KILLED or SERIOUSLY HURT if you don’t follow instructions.

You CAN be HURT if you don’t follow instructions.

As you read this manual, you will find information that is preceded by a symbol. This information is intended to help you avoid

damage to your vehicle, other property, or the environment.

Introduction

Thank you for purchasing this Acura accessory.

Please read this User’s Information Manual carefully before using the backup sensors. Keep this manual in the glove box for future reference.

This User’s Information Manual should be considered a permanent part of the vehicle. It should remain with the vehicle at all times and stay with the vehicle when sold.

This User’s Information Manual contains important information about the safe operation of the backup sensors. We urge you to read this manual carefully, become familiar with the controls it describes, 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 are designed to provide an audible sound when they detect large stationary objects while the vehicle is moving in reverse at low speed. However, all obstacles may not always be sensed.

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

WARNING

Severe injury or death can occur to persons or objects not detected by the sensors. Never rely solely on the backup sensors and always look behind you before backing up.
