Frequently Asked Questions - Beep & Park Vision Valeo

How to correctly install the Beep & Park Vision system?

It is strongly recommended to have the system installed by a professional car electrician. Before drilling the final holes, check the sensor position. The height of the sensors from the ground must be between 45 and 60 cm, and the distance between sensors must be ≤ 45 cm. The camera must be mounted at the same height and its angle adjusted using the supplied angle correction rings.

What to do if the screen shows no image?

Check the following points: Is the power supply connected? Is the ignition on ACC ON? Is the reverse gear engaged? Are all electrical connections correct? Also check the screen settings.

Why does the audible alert trigger without any obstacle?

This may be due to incorrect sensor height (must be between 45 and 60 cm), non-compliance with installation angle (add adaptation rings), distance between sensors > 45 cm, or sensors mounted upside down. Disconnect one sensor at a time to identify the source.

How to adjust the volume of the audible alert?

The alarm volume is adjustable. Follow the instructions in the manual to adjust the volume to your liking.

What to do if a sensor is reported defective?

The system emits three beeps if a sensor is defective. Check that the sensor surface is clean, that the wires are properly connected to the ECU and are not damaged. If necessary, replace the sensor with a Valeo spare part.

Why does the object position not match the indicator on the screen?

Make sure the sensor wires are connected in the correct order (A, B). Reversing the connections can cause this problem.

How to clean the camera lens?

Use a cloth dampened with alcohol to clean the lens, then wipe with a clean cloth. Avoid sharp objects that could scratch the surface.

The parking assistance lines are not parallel, what to do?

Check that the camera height is between 45 and 60 cm. Adjust the camera angle with respect to an obstacle at 2.5 m (it must be centered on the screen). Use the adaptation rings to correct the angle and choose from 6 proposed configurations. Rotate the camera around its axis to align it with the horizon.

What to do if the image is blurred or of poor quality?

Check that there is no dirt or water on the lens. Clean it with an alcohol-dampened cloth. Ensure the control unit receives sufficient power. You can also adjust brightness, contrast, or color intensity.

How to perform the system self-diagnosis?

When reverse gear is engaged, the system automatically tests all 4 sensors. If everything works, a single beep is emitted. If one or more sensors are defective, a triple beep sounds. Then check the mounting and connections of the sensors.

Caution

It is recommended that installation is carried out by an approved professional auto technician.
It is strongly advised to check the position of the sensors before the definitive drilling of the holes.
- beep&park®/vision™ helps provide assistance when reversing and parking. Driving skills, such as slowing down, use of mirrors etc. are always essential.
- You may have to replace the adapter ring (included in the kit) around the sensor in order to obtain the required inclination in the range of +/- 5^ after installation on the vehicle bumper.
- The angle of the camera should be adjusted using the angle correction rings provided.
- To ensure clear view, please keep the camera lens clean and keep it away from sharp items.
- If you wish to connect the system to an original navigation system, please refer to your auto technician.
- Please ensure waterproofness of the camera in case it would be fitted outside the bumper.

Self diagnosis

This system is equipped with a self-diagnosis of sensors:

1. When the reverse gear is selected, the system automatically tests the 4 rear sensors.
2. If all of the sensors are working, the system beeps once.
3. If there is a problem with any of the sensors, the system beeps 3 times.
4. Check that sensors are properly fitted.
5. In case of crash, you can replace the concerned sensor by one available in the Valeo spare parts offer.

Troubleshooting

There is no image on the display:

1. Is the power supply wire connected correctly?
2. Is the ignition turned to ACC ON?
3. Is the reverse gear selected?
4. Are all wire connections correct?
5. Check the correct function setting of the display.

Image on the display without selecting the reverse gear:

Check whether the power wire of ECU is connected to the reverse light wire.

The display indicates a defective sensor:

1. Check whether the sensor surface is clean.
2. Check whether the sensor wires are plugged in the ECU properly.
3. Check whether the sensor wires are damaged or not.

The object position does not correspond to the correct indicator on the display:

Are the sensor cables connected to the control unit (ECU) in the correct order e.g. A.B?

You would like to change the volume of the sound signal:

Adjust the volume to a certain level.

6 When reverse gear is selected, 0.5m or 0.6m is shown on the display:

1. There are obstacles within 0.6m
2. Are sensors mounted too low or detecting the ground?
3. Check whether the sensor is installed upside down.
4. Unplug 1 sensor at a time to check for response.

7 Blurred image or poor quality image on the display:

1. Check whether there is dirt or water on the lens of the camera.
2. Clean the lens with a lint with alcohol, and then dry it with a clean cloth.
3. Is there enough power supply provided to the ECU?
4. The brightness, contrast and colour intensity can be adjusted.

8 Once reverse gear is selected, a sound signal is triggered when there is no obstacle behind the vehicle:

1. Check that requested height of sensors fitted on the bumper from the floor is respected (between 45 and 60~cm
2. Check that requested angle of sensors fitted on the bumper is respected. If necessary, use the angle correction rings for the installation.
3. Check that requested distance between sensors on the bumper is respected (< or = 45cm)
4. Check that the sensor is not installed upside-down.

1. Unplug one sensor at a time to identify the cause of the anomaly.

911nce reverse gear is selected, an obstacle behind the vehicle is not detected by the system:

1. Check that requested height of sensors fitted on the bumper from the floor is respected (between 45 and 60~cm
2. Check that requested angle of sensors fitted on the bumper is respected. If necessary, use the angle correction rings for the installation.
3. Check that requested distance between sensors on the bumper is respected (< or = 45cm)
4. Check that the sensor is not installed upside-down.

1. Unplug one sensor at a time to identify the cause of the anomaly.

10 The parking assistance lines are not parallel to the ground or the parking space:

1. Check that the camera is between 45 and 60~cm above the ground.
2. Check that the camera is at the right angle for an obstacle 2.5m away, displaying the obstacle in the center of the screen. If necessary, correct the angle using adapter rings.
3. Adjust according to the six configurations proposed.
4. Turn the camera on its axis to line up with the horizon.

The distances represented by the parking assistance lines do not correspond to the values displayed:

1. Check that the camera is between 45 and 60~cm above the ground.
2. Check that the camera is at the right angle for an obstacle 2.5m away, displaying the obstacle in the center of the screen. If necessary, correct the angle using adapter rings.
3. Adjust according to the six configurations proposed.
4. Turn the camera on its axis to line up with the horizon.
