Fitting Instructions Installing the Sensors Wiring for Left Side Harness Routing Installation Guide Wiring for Right Side Harness Routing Right A-Pillar LED Right Sensor ACC (Red) RIGHT Turn Signal (Purple) LEFT Turn Signal (Brown) Buzzer Control Module RIGHT Turn Signal (Brown) LEFT Turn Signal (Purple) Left Sensor Left A-Pillar LED Short Tail (Brown Wire) Long Tail (Purple Wire) To Control Module Sensor Sensor For right side harness routing connect the turn signal wires the opposite way round to the left side harness routing. The short tail on the main harness that connects to the sensor always corresponds to the brown indicator wire (for example; if the short tail connects to the left sensor the brown wire will connect to the left indicator and subsequently if the short tail connects to the right sensor the brown wire will connect to the right indicator). Microwave sensors should be installed in the inner side of the rear bumper. Take the rear bumper off and stick the microwave sensor in the corner of the rear bumper (close to the rear side). Please install to the spot at least 45cm height from the ground. Remove the bumper and locate where to mount the sensors. The locations should be close to the corners on the inner rear side and at least 18 in (45 cm) from the ground. Clean the surface prior to mounting the sensors. Test the sensors before installing them onto the bumper. Check the labels on top of the sensors and the 3M sticker base to distinguish left and right sensors. When mounting the sensors, ensure that the wire side is facing downward. Keep the sensors symmetrical on both sides. Note: Adhesives can be used when installing the sensor base to the rear bumper, but please use caution when applying as to not spill adhesive on the surface of the sensor. After sensors are mounted on the bumper, re-install the bumper. Route the sensor cables into the trunk or rear passenger compartment utilizing a factory grommet. Connect to the extension harness and route both extension harnesses to the front of the vehicle. Connect to main control module. 3
Fitting Instructions (continued) Installing the LED indicators and Speaker Powering the system Wiring Diagram Remove A-pillar covers. Find a suitable mounting location where there are no obstructions behind the pillar panel. Do NOT drill into the pillar cover prior to removing it and checking for obstructions. Using the supplied hole saw, drill the hole into the pillar cover. Insert the LED indicator and ensure that it snaps into place and is in the proper orientation. Connect to the extensions and route down the A-pillar to the main control module. Re-install the A-pillar covers. Mount the speaker under the dash (where still accessible for volume control) and route the cable to connect to the main harness. From the main harness, connect the Left Turn trigger wire and the Right Turn trigger wire to the appropriate turn signal bulbs. Red wire goes to ACC and black wire goes to Ground (can be found in either of the kick panels or a 12V outlet) to power the control module. 4
Operating Guide System will become engaged once vehicle is running. The microwave sensor system will only detect moving objects within the blind spot of your vehicle. Only when the speed of the moving object is greater than your current speed, the system will detect and alert the driver. Once an object is detected, the system will alert the driver via visual alert. If the turn signal is activated while an object is detected, the system will alert the driver via visual and audible alert. Note Performance may be affected by extreme weather conditions (such as rainstorm and blizzard).
