Installation Instructions Before installing this product, take time to familiarize yourself with the items in the box and use the packing list to verify all parts are present. Mounting the Sensors Choosing the Correct Sensor Sleeve Use the application guide below to determine whether a sensor sleeve will be required. This will affect the diameter of the hole in the bumper.

Marking and Drilling Holes Figure 1 1. Mark the locations for the sensors on the rear bumper using a grease pencil. a. Identify the sensors height on the bumper and mark. The sensor height should be between 18” and 30” from the ground. b. Divide and mark the bumper as shown in Figure 1. c. Install the sensors equally from the center of the bumper, as shown in Figure 1. d.

Installing the Sensor Sleeve and Sensors NOTE: When installing the sensors into the sensor sleeves, push on the outer ring of the sensor only. Never push on the center of the sensor. 1. Ensure sensors and sleeves are upright (all products have an alignment mark on the top). 2. If required, install the sensor into the sleeve. 3. Install the sensor (with sleeve if required) into the holes drilled in the bumper. 4. Run the sensor wires through the sensor sleeves in the Alignment Mark bumper. 5.

Installing the Power Harness Tap/Run Connection 1. 2. Wire the Power Harness to the vehicle’s reverse lamp. a) Locate the reverse lamp in the tail light assembly. Using the tap connector supplied, perform the following steps: i. Place the un-stripped positive lead wire on the run channel. ii. Insert the un-stripped red power wire completely. iii. Make the connection between the wires by crimping down the metal connector with a pair of pliers, making sure the metal is flush with the plastic insulator. iv.

Mounting the Speaker The speaker has three volume settings: Off, Hi, and Low. Since the speaker can be adjusted as needed, you should mount the speaker in an accessible location in the interior, where it is visible using the rear-view mirror. 1. Route the wires for the speaker to the area where you will install the control module. Make sure they will not be pinched by the panel or moving parts. 2. Clean the back of the speaker and the mounting location to ensure good adhesion.
PAGE 10
Mounting the Control Module Determine a dry place inside the vehicle (out of the way) to mount the control module (e.g., behind an inner body panel), making sure that all wiring will reach the intended location. 1. Plug the sensor wires, speaker and power harness into the control module before mounting. The sensor must be plugged into the corresponding socket (see Figure 4). The control module is pre-fitted with Velcro for mounting. 2. Clean the pre-selected mounting area to ensure good adhesion. 3.
