1 Product description 1/12 What is it? Front and rear parking assistance system with an anti-bump alert to protect your vehicle against the all too often clumsy parking manoeuvres of other motorists in a hurry. You can leave your parked vehicle without worry, the anti-bump functionality detects vehicles that come too close to your car and gives off signals to encourage drivers to pay extra attention when manoeuvring. How does it work? 1) Parking assistance 8 ultrasonic sensors detect obstacles at the front and rear of the vehicle. All obstacles are detected and announced by a sound that gradually intensifies as the obstacle approaches, becoming continuous within 30 cm. The distance and position of obstacles are shown on a dash-mounted screen. 2) Protection for the parked vehicle When the vehicle is parked with the engine off, the system's alternating sensors permanently detect the movement of approaching vehicles at the front and rear. Whenever a vehicle comes within 1 meter of the bumper, the visual and audible alerts are activated in stages, encouraging the other motorist to take extra care when parking. The alert system switches off once the other vehicle is parked.

6 6/12 4. Locating the electrical connections Using the multimeter, locate the vehicle s various outputs: Output Reversing light Indicators control Horn control Ground Permanent + Battery + Generally accessed At the rear lighting unit or fuse block At the control stalk or fuse block At the control stalk, steering wheel or fuse block Any point of the vehicle s chassis At the fuse block At the fuse block 5. Electrical connections Test to ensure that they are the right signals: during operation, the multimeter must display +12V On some multiplexed vehicles (e.g. PSA), the horn output cannot be retrieved in the cabin you must connect to the horn directly in the engine compartment. Disconnect the battery: Switch off the engine first. Wait for 2 minutes before you disconnect the battery, to give the vehicle s computers sufficient time to power off completely. Connect the ECU s power cable as follows: Red wire : to permanent + Pink wire : either to + 12V, or to the ground (1) Black wire : to the horn control you located Brown wire : to the indicators control you located Connect the white connector to the ECU (1) To find out whether the pink wire must be connected to the +12V connector or the ground: Using the multimeter, check whether the horn's control signal is + or -: Connect the multimeter to the ground and the horn signal you located. If the multimeter displays +12V when the horn sounds, the horn s control signal is + connect the pink wire to +12V Connect the multimeter to + and the horn signal you located. If the multimeter displays +12V when the horn sounds, the horn s control signal is - connect the pink wire to the ground

Installing the switch, display and ECU Place the switch in an unobtrusive position easily accessible to the driver For a cleaner installation, use the drilling tool included in the kit to drill an unobtrusive switch installation hole easily, e.g. under the steering wheel, on the left side of the central column Position the display on the dashboard so that the driver s view is not obstructed Attach it using the adhesive pad on its base Conceal the display s cable in the door pillar for added discretion Position the ECU under the dashboard Ideally, it should be located under a cover under the steering wheel to protect it from impacts Attach the ECU using the adhesive pad or the cerflex clips included in the kit. 7. Start-up Reconnect the battery and switch on the engine again: On multiplexed vehicles, wait for 1 minute before switching on the engine, to ensure that the vehicle's computers are reinitialized properly. Check that the following are working correctly: Reversing lights Horn Turn indicators and hazard lights

9 9/12 8. Park Assist function operating test Check that the sensors are working 1) When the engine is switched on, the system tests the 4 front sensors automatically; if all of the sensors are working, no warning is triggered. 2) Select reverse gear. The system tests the 4 rear sensors and the two outermost front sensors (E and H) automatically: If all of the sensors are working, the system beeps once. If there is a problem with any of the sensors, the system beeps 3 times. The position and number of faulty sensors is displayed on the screen. Check that the display switches on when reverse gear is selected Now place an obstacle near to each front and rear sensor Check that the audible warning is activated. Check that the beeps intensify as you move the obstacle closer to each sensor. Check that the distance between the sensor and the obstacle is displayed on the screen, at the left or right side of the screen depending on the obstacle s position. Towing hook initialization process: If the vehicle is fitted with a towing hook, you must initialize the system as follows: Within 10 seconds, select reverse gear 5 times in succession so that the obstacle is recorded as a permanent object. When reverse gear is selected for the first time, the towing system must be detected (beep, beep, beep). Reverse gear can then be selected again 4 times in succession.

10 10/12 9. Anti-bump alert function operating test While the vehicle is stationary, the anti-bump alert function sounds for 2 minutes when the engine is switched off. To prevent the system being triggered by passing pedestrians, the alert is triggered only when 2 alternate sensors have detected an obstacle (sensors 1 and 3, or 2 and 4) Gradually move a large obstacle towards the vehicle (to simulate a second vehicle approaching) Check that the alert is working correctly at the following 3 levels: Approaching vehicle Alert action 1) 1m to 50 cm Hazard lights flash twice 2) 50 to 40 cm Hazard lights flash twice + horn beeps once 3) < 30 cm Hazard lights flash 4 times + horn blows (longer) once Perform the same test at the front of the vehicle The audible alert (horn) can be deactivated at any time with the switch

11 11/12 Recommendations After installation PARK ASSIST FUNCTION: The volume of the beeps can be adjusted on the display. The display s position on its base can be adjusted. Replacement sensors are available in the event of damage. ANTI-BUMP ALERT FUNCTION: The system is not activated when the approaching vehicle is fitted with an assisted parking system itself, which already helps it to park more safely. The system is not activated when pedestrians or animals approach the vehicle. You can deactivate the anti-bump function s sound signal (horn) at any time, using the on/off switch located under the dashboard Activation of distances and the audible alert (Park Assist): Sensor detection area: 1 m (front), 1.80 m (rear) Distances displayed on the screen: 30 cm to 90 cm (front), 1.70 m to 30 cm (rear) Progressively increasing beep intensity: FRONT REAR Continuous beep + STOP displayed: < 30cm Anti-bump alert levels:

12 12/12 Troubleshooting After installation????? The display does not switch on following installation: Check that the display's power connection is connected properly. Check that the vehicle's engine has been switched on and reverse gear is selected. Check that the system is wired correctly. Information is displayed on the screen when reverse gear is not selected Check that the ECU's power cable is connected to the reversing light s signal. The display indicates that a sensor is faulty: Check that the surface of each sensor is clean. Check that the sensors wires are properly connected to the ECU. Check the condition of the sensors wiring. The object's position does not match the indicator displayed on the screen: Check that the sensor wires are connected to the ECU in the correct order (labelled ABCDEFGH). A distance is displayed and/or a sound signal goes off when there is no obstacle at the rear of the vehicle: Check that the sensors are not too low (installation height) or point towards the ground (installation angle). Check that the sensor is not mounted upside down. Disconnect each sensor in turn to find the source of the fault. par Actions Simplifiée - Capital R.C.S.
