Intention For Use
Thank you for purchasing this Reverse Parking Sensor Kit from Streetwize. The intended purpose for this kit is to assist motorists reversing into tight spots or parking spaces.
The kit comprises four sensors that are fitted on the rear bumper, a control

when the sensors sense a nearby object.
Before installing this kit to your vehicle, we recommend that you read all the

Product Overview
The sensors that come with this reverse parking kit emits ultrasonic waves to
detect objects within 1.8m. They are activated when the vehicle is set into
reverse.
If the sensors detect any solid object nearby (within 1.8m), the Audio/LED
Display will signal this with audio and visual cues (see Operating
Instructions). For any object that is not solid (i.e. person or unusual
shape), the maximum detection distance will vary (see Limitations for more
information).
Installation Instructions
IMPORTANT: For installing this kit, you must have some prior technical
experience or knowledge of installing this type of equipment to your vehicle.
If in doubt, we recommend getting assistance from a qualified professional.
To install this product, holes will need to be drilled into your vehicle’s
rear bumper to fit the sensors.
Each of the sensor’s wiring will be connected to the control box. And from the
control box, the supplied connecting cables will be used to connect the
control box to your vehicle’s reversing light and to the supplied Audio/LED
display box.
Suggested Tools Required
Installing the Sensors
-
With a measuring tape, find an appropriate position for your sensors. Ideally, the sensors should be positioned on your bumper, between 50cm to 80cm above the ground. The sensors need to be in a straight line and there should be a gap of between 30 to 40cm.
-
Use masking tape to mark the straight line on your bumper, and use a pencil to mark on the masking tape where the holes are going to be drilled. See Figure 3.
-
Prior to drilling, make sure there is nothing blocking the area behind the bumper (see Figure 4).
-
Ensure the drills position is perpendicular to the surface of the bumper. Use the supplied drill bit the holes.
-
Then Insert the sensor into the newly drilled holes , with the wiring going in first (Figure 6). Ensure the sensors are securely in (i.e Flush fit), leaving no gap.
IMPORTANT: When Installating the sensors, make sure they are fited
vertically on the reverse side of the sensor lip you will see an upward arrow
to indicate the right side up(figure 7) Also When pushing directly onto the
sensor, always handle the sensor via the plastic outer edge( **Figure 8).

Operating Instructions
Once the sensors have been installed, the reversing aid system will be activated when your vehicle is fully running and is set to reverse. This kit uses a THREE STEP ALERT system, as shown in Table 1
| Alert | LED Indicator | Distance | Sound | Sound |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Safe | Green | 130 to 180cm | 1.3 to 1.8 | Beep…..Beep |
| Caution | Yellow | 60 to 130cm | 0.6 to 1.2 | Beep. Beep |
| Danger | Red | 0cm to 60cm | 0.0 to 0.5 | Beweep |
Limitations
The sensors may not work if the object does not reflect the ultrasonic waves or has an unu- sual shape e.g. poles/bollards, cardboard cartons, motorcycle/bicycle tyres, small bushes or slender trees. The sensors may not detect another vehicle bumper if it is too high.
The other significant limitation is that the maximum detection distance will vary depending on the type of object as shown in Table 2.
| Object | Max Detection Distance |
|---|---|
| Safe | 1.8m |
| Caution | 1.0m |
| Danger | 0.4m |
If the vehicle is equipped with high-power radio antenna.
If another vehicle bumper is too high
If another vehicle bumper is too high
If there is a very small ob!ect
If there is wire fence
