BEFORE YOU START

Before installing onto your vehicle, please test the product by powering it on and connecting it to the TYPE S Drive App (Section 13). Please use this document as your reference for detailed instructions and product information.

1. Peel off the protective film from the display screen. Plug the power cable into the USB-C input port.
   

2. Insert and lock the Mount onto the AI Dashcam. Please select the appropriate Mount according to your windshield type (Vertical/Tilted).
   

3. Attach the AI Dashcam onto the windshield:

   • Apply the electrostatic sticker onto the cleaned windshield and peel off the protective film.
   • Peel off the 3M VHBTM tape backer from the Dashcam Mount and attach the Dashcam onto the center of the sticker.
     NOTE: To optimize the accuracy of AI calibration, we recommend placing the dashcam at the center of your windshield, right behind your rear view mirror.
     

4. Route and hide the power cable in the headliner and pillars in your vehicle. We recommend going through the passenger side so the cable doesn’t get into the driver’s way.
   

5. Plug the Rear Camera into the AV-IN port on the dashcam.
   

6. Mount the Rear Camera on the rear window inside your vehicle. Adjust the camera to your desired angle. Route and hide the power cable in your vehicle.

WARNING: A failure to read and follow these warnings and instructions may result in a serious accident, including damaged property or a serious injury, including loss of life.

• The AI Dashcam is designed as an aid to the driver in detecting large stationary objects to help avoid damaging the vehicle. However, you, the driver, must use it safely and properly. Use of the AI Dashcam is not a substitute for safe, proper and legal driving.
• Never depend on the AI Dashcam and Rear Cam entirely when driving and backing up. The image on the screen is different from actual conditions. Objects viewed in the AI Dashcam display screen differ from actual distance because a wide-angle lens is used.
• If you use Rear Camera, never back up while looking only at the screen. You should always check behind and around the vehicle when backing up just as you would if the vehicle did not have the Rear Camera. Always make sure your intended path is clear. If you back up while looking only at the monitor, you may hit a vehicle, pedestrian, bicyclist, child, pet or other object resulting in injury or death. Always back up slowly.
• The area displayed by the AI Dashcam and Rear Cam is limited. The AI Dashcam does not display objects that are out of the AI Dashcam’s field of view. The area displayed on the screen may vary according to vehicle orientation or road conditions. The Rear Camera does not display objects that are close to or below the bumper, underneath the vehicle, or objects out of the camera’s field of view. The area displayed on the screen may vary according to vehicle orientation or road conditions.
• Be sure to check the AI Dashcam’s position and mounting angle before each use.
• Do not strike the AI Dashcam. It is a precision instrument. Otherwise, it may malfunction or cause damage resulting in a fire or an electric shock.
• This product will only provide images of items that are within the field of view of the AI Dashcam. Thus, it is imperative that the AI Dashcam should be kept clean and unobstructed.
• Adhere to all applicable traffic laws and motor vehicle regulations applicable to the device.
• Consult local laws and regulations for any restrictions on installation or use.
• Never allow children to play with the device. Small parts may be a choking hazard.
• There is a plastic cover over the AI Dashcam. Do not scratch the cover when cleaning dirt or snow from the cover.
• If the temperature changes rapidly, the system may not operate normally.
• If you replace the tires, the area displayed on the monitor may change and you may need to adjust the camera.
• When strong light directly enters an AI Dashcam, objects may not be displayed clearly.
• The screen may flicker under fluorescent light.
• The colors of objects on the AI Dashcam may differ from those of the actual objects.
• Do not use alcohol or thinner to clean the AI Dashcam. This will cause discoloration. To clean the AI Dashcam, wipe with a clean cloth dampened with mild cleaner diluted with water and then wipe with a dry cloth.

SAFETY AROUND AND BEHIND OTHER VEHICLES

Many preventable injuries and deaths occur in driveways or parking lots when drivers do not see children, pets, or others near their vehicles. Here are a few safety tips that will help you to avoid a backover accident:

• Walk completely around your vehicle before getting in. Check for kids, toys, and pets before entering the vehicle and starting the engine.
• Know where children are. Have children stand in a place where they are in full view.
• Be aware of young children. Young children are small and hard to see.
• Parents, caregivers and all adults need to be vigilant in supervising children, especially when children are in the yard, driveway or parking lot playing near parked cars.
• Roll down your window so you will be able to hear what is happening outside your vehicle.
• Owners of SUVs, trucks, and vans need to take extra care to avoid hitting or running over a child.
• Teach children to move away from a vehicle whenever it is started.

MAINTENANCE & WARRANTY

CLEANING

• If dirt, rain or snow attaches to the camera, the display screen may not clearly display objects. If water droplets, snow or mud adhere to the camera lens, rinse with water and wipe with a dry cloth.
• Do not use alcohol, benzene or thinner to clean the AI Dashcam. This will cause discoloration. To clean the AI Dashcam, wipe with a clean cloth dampened with mild cleaner diluted with water and then wipe with a dry cloth.
