The display may be mounted on the ¨ Electronic Control Unit (ECU) visor (upside down) or on the dash (right side up). The ¨ Ultrasonic Sensors display has a switch to rotate the display during installation. ¨ Warning Display ● HOW TO USE ¨ System Startup Reverse Parking System The system is fully automatic. It is active only when the vehicle is placed in reverse. At system power-up (Vehicle ignition on, in reverse), you will hear a short half-second ‘beep’. ¨ Diagnostics After the system is turned on, the Back Zone Plus will go When the vehicle is placed in reverse, the display warns into a self diagnostic mode for three seconds. drivers of obstacles in different ways: sound, display of If after three seconds a sensor malfunction is detected, warning zones, distance to and direction of obstacles. the display will warn you of a fault. The system will still 2011- 3 Parking Sensor System operate, but may not function normally. (See troubleshooting section for explanation of diagnostics function.) Note: Sensors must be installed in order of serial number. If not, the diagnostic function may reference the wrong sensor. See Figure 2. 4 3 2 1 Fig.2 - Definition of Sensor's Serial Numbers ¨ Warning Mode See Figure 3 for the three detection zones.

See Fig.4 and Fig. 5 · Indication of direction - The left and right wave bands show drivers if the obstacle is on the left or right behind the vehicle. · Indication of zone - The wave bands are green, yellow and red. Color changes as the vehicle moves closer to the obstacle, telling drivers the warning zone where the obstacle ¨ About detection is located. Obstacle detection may vary due to object size, shape, density and environmental conditions. It is recommended to thoroughly check the system sensitivity before use. An unusual reflection angle of obstacles may cause an incorrect or unusual detection warning. Refer to Fig.6 below: Point A may not be detected due to unsatisfactory reflection angle. 2011- 6 Parking Sensor System Unusual condition of obstacle Due to varying height, size, clothing type (absorption of signal), etc., A PERSON MAY NOT BE DETECTED. This device is only a parking aid and should never be solely relied upon for safely backing up a vehicle. Always use caution during any vehicle operation. Obstacles outside the detecting range In Fig.7, detection may be variable due to object size, height and In Fig.9, Surface B will be detected, density.

See Fig.11. ¨ Installation Tools ¨ Precaution When this system is working, the reverse speed must be under 5km/h (3 mph). Keep sensors clean. Remove dirt, ice or snow for proper operation. Make sure that sensors are mounted securely in the correct position. The tools listed in Fig.12 are required for installation. When sensors are found defective, they should be · The kit includes two drill bits, electrical connectors, double-sided replaced immediately. adhesive tape and sensor locating template.

Layout Installation Connection Power Parts Connection Inspection Test General layout Determine where to install the ECU and warning unit according to the layout of your vehicle. Make sure the power cable of the ECU can be easily connected. Sensor installation For details, refer to “Tips on Sensor Installation” on page 10. Component Connection Note: A truck adaptor accessory kit containing a sensor See Fig.14 for the connection between components of extension harness and under-bumper mounting brackets reverse parking system. may be purchased separately. 2011- 9 Parking Sensor System Powering up For details, refer to “Powering up” on page 12. Test For details, refer to “Test the System” on page 13. Note: Sensors and trunk harness connectors are serialized and must be connected in position and order as shown in Figure 2; otherwise the display will indicate improper location of object.
