- Special vehicle conditions that should be considered

During system startup and initialization, it may take up to 2 minutes for the system to establish a GPS connection. If the vehicle is driven before a GPS connection is established or if the GPS connection is interrupted (inside a tunnel, parking structure, etc.), the system may not function properly, producing incorrect or false warnings or failing to produce a warning. Once the GPS connection is established or re-established, both LED indicators will flash twice to indicate the system is ready for use.

This system can be used on any vehicle except vehicles with metal bumpers, i.e. Trucks. When mounting the sensors, assure that the sensors are not obstructed by any metal object as the operation of the product can be affected by the metal object interfering with the system.

The following may compromise the effectiveness of the system:

  • Incorrect installation angle.
    • Vehicles with metal obstructions in front of the sensor head.

Improperly mounted sensor location on vehicle, i.e. center of vehicles bumper location.

- Situations that cannot be detected

  • Your vehicle is moving slower than the sensing speed setting, such as in slow moving traffic.
  • When your vehicle is reversing, the relative speed between your vehicle and objects is less than 5 mph (8 km/h).

If a vehicle is approaching / overtaking your vehicle and the relative speed between your vehicle and the overtaking vehicle is greater than 37 mph (60 km/h). For example, if you are traveling at 41 mph (66 km/h), the system cannot detect vehicles approaching from behind if their speed exceeds 78 mph (126 km/h).

Situations that may affect system detection accuracy

  • Metal objects are in the direct path of the sensing signal.
  • Weather such as heavy rain and snow, and icy road conditions, which can cause changes in sensitivity.

Gravel roads, which may cause interference due to dust and flying stones.
