CAUTION

- 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.

The license plate bar's performance can be affected if installed on a vehicle that has items obstructing the license plate location (e.g. bike rack, trailer). In addition, the license plate bar cannot be installed correctly if the license plate is offset or on the far side of the vehicle and not centered.

This system can be used on any vehicle that has a standard license plate location but can be affected by metal objects that may block or interfere with the operation of the system.

The following may compromise the effectiveness of the system:

• Vehicles with permanent trailers attached.
• Vehicles with metal obstructions in front of the license plate, i.e. spare tire mount, rear bike racks or equipment for disabled persons.

Standard license plates that are mounted on the right or left side of the vehicle.

(Center Installation Required)

- Situations that cannot be detected

If a vehicle is passing your vehicle.

• Your vehicle is moving slower than the sensing speed threshold 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 50 mph (80 km/h). For example, if you are traveling at 55 mph (88 km/h), the system cannot detect vehicles approaching from behind if their speed exceeds 105 mph (169 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.
