The controller has a manual override feature, allowing the back-up lights to be turned on without shifting the vehicle into reverse.

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 secs to 2 minutes depending on vehicle and ECU type).
