Operation of Reverse Lights

Our controllers have been programmed with a manual override feature. Back-up lights may be turned on without the vehicle in reverse.

  • Fully Automatic When Shifted to Reverse
    1. No programming needed

Manual Override

  1. Put the vehicle in neutral.
  2. Press and hold the brake pedal for up to 2 seconds. The reverse light will automatically turn on and stay on.

To turn the light off repeat this procedure.

Note:
If the ignition is turned off while the vehicle is in reverse, or the manual override function is enabled, the lights will remain ON until the ECU enters sleep mode (approximately 30 seconds – 2 minutes depending on vehicle and ECU type).
