Product Description
This Rear Parking Sensor System is designed to assist the driver by
providing an alert when an object is behind the vehicle whenever the
vehicle is shifted into reverse. Never rely solely on this product to ensure
the area is clear of children and/or obstructions. This product is not
intended to replace existing safety procedures, but rather to add an
additional safety tool for your vehicle
.
Using the Sensor System
Your backup sensing system transmits and receives ultrasonic waves from
the sensors mounted in your vehicle’s rear bumper. As the transmitted waves
bounce off obstacles behind your vehicle and are received back by the
sensors, the unit’s control box converts these waves into warning sounds, or
beeps, which alerts you, the driver, of obstacles behind your vehicle.
Your sensing system will signal in three increasing warning tones (beeps)
which correlate the vehicle’s distance from an obstacle. When the vehicle’s
reverse gear is engaged, the system will emit a quick beep. This indicates
that the system is on and the sensors are operating. The following chart
shows the detection range and beep associated with the distance of an object
from the rear bumper.
Distance (feet) Type of Beep
> 4.5ft No beep
4.5ft – 2.5ft Slow repeating beep
2.5ft – 1.3ft Faster repeating beep
<1.3ft Steady tone beep
When towing a trailer, the system will emit a solid beep. Move the switch on
the speaker to the “off” position to turn off the speaker. Remember to turn
the switch to the “high” or “low” position when the vehicle is no longer
towing a trailer.
