All cars have a blind spot, and when backing out of a parking spot, something in this blind spot could be hit. Such a scenario has been tragically repeated when small children stand behind a car as it is backed out of a garage. The solution to this is a parking sensor. These increase your field of vision by detecting if there is something behind your car which you might hit backing out. The installation is simple, and it can take just one hour to do from start to finish.
1 Measure the center of your bumper with the measuring tape and mark it with the grease pencil.
2 Measure and mark two places between 12" and 24" to the left and right of the center of the bumper. These will be where the sensors will be mounted. The sensors need to be between 18" - 30" off the ground. It is best to put the sensors 24" off the ground.
3 Drag the plug with the display panel to where you want to mount the display panel. Attach the panel with the included double sided tape.
4 Look for holes made in your car that feed the wires from the lights into the rear of your car or the trunk. Fish the sensor wires through these holes. Enlarge the hole and line the edges with Zinc Galvanize if needed.
5 Place a piece of electrical tape over the spots marked with the grease pencil on the bumper for the sensors. Use the specialty drill bit included with the parking sensor kit to drill holes at these sites. Remove rough edges with a drill buffing bit and coat the edges of the holes with Zinc Galvanize if the bumper is metal.
6 Push the sensors from the back of the bumper until they are flush with the front.
7 Plug the wires from the display, sensors, and the power supply into the control box. Test the unit according to your manufacturer's instructions.
8 Choose a site to mount the control box, and attach it there with the double sided tape included.
