KEY FUNCTIONS Automatic Booting Once the AP1 has been wired to your OBDII port or vehicle power source, the AP1 will boot up automatically. It will take around 55 seconds for the unit to be ready to operate. 1. VIDEO RECORDING Continuous Record This is the default mode for recording. Your AP1 begins recording after booting up and continues to record the entire time the device is on. In this mode, the microSD card storage may fill up quicker and overwrite your oldest recordings when it’s full.
ADAS FUNCTIONS Lane Departure Warning Your vehicle crosses a solid lane line on either side of the road. Forward Collision Warning Your vehicle is likely to collide with something in front of the vehicle. Headway Monitoring Warning Your vehicle is not maintaining a safe distance with the vehicle in front of you (tailgating). Caution ADAS functionality is not a substitute for an alert, trained and engaged driver.
DRIVER SAFETY WARNINGS DISCLAIMER The AP1 is not a substitute for a safe, conscientious driver. The AP1 cannot compensate for a driver who is distracted, inattentive or impaired by fatigue, drugs or alcohol. Whether or not the AP1 is in use, it is always the driver’s responsibility to take appropriate corrective action. It does not eliminate or decrease the need for a driver to stay alert and to obey all traffic laws while operating a vehicle.
GPS RECEPTION When satellites don’t have line of sight, cellular towers help triangulate a vehicle’s location. IMPROVE YOUR SIGNAL 1. Activate your AP1 in an area without large buildings. 2. The optimum operating temperature for your vehicle’s GPS is -10°C~50°C 3. When first using your AP1 or turning it on after a period (>3 days), allow more time to recognize your current location. 4.

AP1 ADAS DISCLAIMER To properly activate and utilize AP1’s ADAS features, Sensata | SmartWitness recommends installation using OBDII data or JBUS connection. Vehicle-sourced speed data retrieval through these means is integral to accessing vehicle speed for precise ADAS notifications. For installations (ex: 3-Wire) without vehicle data retrieval or in instances where speed is unobtainable from the vehicle, AP1 defaults to GPS speed measurement in the operation of ADAS features.
