Connect the black strand of cable
(5)
with the ground on the chassis.
Connect the small white plug of the power supply cable with the socket “PWR” of the control
unit
(1)
.
Turn the vehicle electronics back on and put the gear into reverse while the ignition is on. The
parking aid turns on automatically and is now ready for use.
d) Initial operation
Parking aid with acoustic signalling (item no. 2162728)
On the side of the loudspeaker
(4)
is a slider, which serves to turn the signal off or set it at two
volume stages (Lo = normal volume, Hi = loud).
Parking aid with LED display and acoustic signalling (item no. 1719341)
On the back of the display is a small slider that serves to turn the signal off if required.
With correct installation, the parking system turns on automatically when putting the gear to
reverse.
With the acoustic system, an acknowledgement beep sounds for approx. 1 second.
Test the system prior to first use to familiarize yourself with the displays and signals.
Ask a second person to simulate the „obstacle“ behind your car.
To do so, switch on the ignition (on-board voltage supply) and then put the car into reverse.
Ask the second person to slowly advance to the car from approx. 2 m distance.
With item no. 1719341 in the centre of the LED display
(3)
, the distance is displayed in meters
and at the same time the direction of the obstacle in the left or the right bar.
The distance to an obstacle is also signalled with increasing intensity of the signal (large
distance = slow beep, smaller distance = faster beep until it sounds permanently). The acoustic
signal is identical with both parking aids. The following ranges must be observed:
Safe range from 200 - 100 cm.
Warning range from 90 to 50 cm.
Dangerous range from 40 - 0 cm (<30 cm permanent beep).
In certain situations, the ultrasound measuring principle is not reliable.
This may be the case on slight slopes, rounded or soft objects, which absorb the ultrasound
waves.
