WARNING: A failure to read and follow these warnings and instructions may result in a serious
accident, including damaged property or a serious injury, including loss of life.

• The App View and Solar Powered Parking Sensor is designed as an aid to the driver in detecting
large stationary objects to help avoid damaging the vehicle. However, you, the driver, must use
it safely and properly. Use of the Parking Sensor is not a substitute for safe, proper and legal
driving.

• Never back up while looking only at the screen. You should always check behind and around
the vehicle when backing up just as you would if the vehicle did not have the Parking Sensor.
Always make sure your intended path is clear. If you back up while looking only at the app, you
may hit a vehicle, pedestrian, bicyclist, child, pet or other object resulting in injury or death.
Always back up slowly.

• Never depend on the Parking Sensor entirely when backing up. The signals and alerts on the
app is dierent from actual conditions. Use the inside mirror or glance over your shoulder to
properly judge distances to other objects.

• The eld of detection by the Parking Sensor is limited. The Parking Sensor cannot detect objects
that are close to or below the bumper, underneath the vehicle, or objects out of the Parking
Sensor’s eld of detection. The area displayed on the app screen may vary according to vehicle
orientation or road conditions.

• Be sure to check the Parking Sensor’s position before each use.

• Make sure the trunk, hatch, or backdoor is completely and securely closed when backing up.

• If the back of the vehicle is hit, the position of the Parking Sensor may change.

• When washing the vehicle with high pressure water, be sure not to spray it around the Parking

Sensor. Otherwise, water may enter the Parking Sensor unit causing malfunction, re or an
electric shock.

• Do not strike the Parking Sensor. It is a precision instrument. Otherwise, it may malfunction or
cause damage resulting in a re or an electric shock.

• The Parking Sensor only provides alerts that are within its eld of detection. Thus, it is imperative
that the Parking Sensor should be kept clean and unobstructed, and should be mounted so that
it covers the entire area behind your vehicle.

• Adhere to all applicable trac laws and motor vehicle regulations applicable to the device.

• Consult local laws and regulations for any restrictions on installation or use.

8. SAFETY INFORMATION

8

• Never allow children to play with the device. Small parts may be a choking hazard.

• The Parking Sensor has a water resistant construction. Do not detach, disassemble or modify it.

This may cause incorrect operation. Parking Sensor is waterproof.

• Do not submerge Parking Sensor in water, which can cause internal damage to the Parking
Sensor.

• If the temperature changes rapidly, such as when hot water is poured on the vehicle in cold
weather, the system may not operate normally. The Parking Sensor can withstand the eects of
rain, snow, and inclement weather.

• If dirt, rain or snow attaches to the Parking Sensor, the detection may be aected. If water
droplets, snow or mud adhere to the Parking Sensor, rinse with water and wipe with a dry cloth.

• Do not use alcohol, benzene or thinner to clean the Parking Sensor. This will cause malfunction.
To clean the Parking Sensor, wipe with a clean cloth dampened with mild cleaner diluted with
water and then wipe with a dry cloth.

• Will work up to 3.9 feet.

• ALWAYS engage Parking/Emergency/Hand Brakes of the vehicle when testing the system.

SAFETY AROUND AND BEHIND OTHER VEHICLES

Using a Parking Sensor is not enough to completely overcome a vehicle’s blind spot. Many
preventable injuries and deaths occur in driveways or parking lots when drivers do not see children,
pets, or others near their vehicles. Here are a few safety tips that will help you to avoid a back-over
accident:

• Walk completely around your vehicle before getting in. Check for kids, toys, and pets before
entering the vehicle and starting the engine.

• Know where children are. Have children stand in a place where they are in full view.

• Be aware of young children. Young children are small and hard to see.

• Parents, caregivers and all adults need to be vigilant in supervising children, especially when

children are in the yard, driveway or parking lot playing near parked cars.

• Roll down your window so you will be able to hear what is happening outside your vehicle.

• Owners of SUVs, trucks, and vans need to take extra care to avoid hitting or running over a child.

• Teach children to move away from a vehicle whenever it is started.
