• Also make sure no part of the bumper is blocking the view of the sensor.
• Mark the location of the holes on the bumper and drill the holes with the included hole saw
(Ø18.5mm).
• Remove all burrs from the edge of the holes.
• Insert the sensors and cables in the holes. All sensors are identical. Make sure the central axis of
the sensor is perpendicular to the bumper surface and the ‘UP’ indication is facing upwards (see
image below).
Note: The sensors can be repainted to match the colour of the bumper. However, the thickness of
the paint layer may not exceed 0.1mm!
Electronic Control Units (ECU)
• See image under paragraph ‘system overview’ for an outline on where to install the different
parts of the system. The rear ECU should be installed in the trunk close to the reverse light
cabling, while the front ECU should be installed close to the fuse box inside the car.
• Refer to the vehicle installation drawings or experienced advice when determining the location of
the control units. The control units should not be close to potential sources of interference, e.g.
cable bundles, exhaust pipe….
• Make sure the power cables of the control units are easily accessible.
• Be careful not to damage any cabling or other vital parts of the car when screwing the control
units in place.
Display unit
• The display unit should be mounted on the dashboard with the included mounting bracket. Make
sure that the display is readable under all conditions.
Cabling/connections
• See image under paragraph ‘system overview’ for the location of the sensors. The numbering is
very important as it determines the proper functioning of the system.
• Every sensor cable has a number written on it. Make sure that the right cable is used for every
sensor. E.g. sensor 5 (front-left) must be connected with cable number 5 to port 5 of the front
ECU.
• Insert the plug of the cable into the socket of the sensor and secure the connection by screwing
the cap over the socket.
• Connect the other side of the cable to the corresponding port on the ECU.
