Inside view

Step 1
Measure the rear bumper to locate a suitable mounting point, align the radar sensor from the centerline of the vehicle, and along this axis, locate a position parallel to the ground 15.5 inches to 31 inches from the ground so that the sensor is mounted inside the bumper. Mark this spot on the outside of the bumper with painter’s tape.
Step 2
Using the allen key (large) provided. Adjust the angle of sensor to -8 degree as shown right in the diagram.

Step 3
Remove the bumper cover and clean the inside of the cover where the sensor is to be placed. The area should be cleaned with alcohol so that the adhesive pad on the sensor assembly may be securely attached. Make sure the attaching surface is smooth, so the adhesive can contact the surface well. If the surface is rough, use sanding paper to make the surface smooth. Clean and remove sanding particles. Affix the sensor to the bumper cover taking note of the direction, orientation, and designated location.

PRIMER MUST BE USED

Step 4
Connect the radar sensor to the harness. Route the harness assembly from the rear exterior of the vehicle into the cabin utilizing a grommet.

The BSS-ONE is designed to aid in detecting vehicles that may have entered the vehicle blind spot zone, which will provide you with a more safe and convenient driving experience.

BLIND SPOT DETECTION (BSD)

When your vehicle speed exceeds 13mph (20km/h), BSD starts detection, and the detection area is the left and right rear of the car. When a vehicle is approaching, the LED indicator on the side of the oncoming car will light up to warn the driver. If your vehicle, has it’s turn signal activated, and there is an oncoming car approaching, it will enter level II warning, LED flashing & buzzer warning sound to alert the driver.
