Operating the System
The CAMSBAR Vehicle Rear Observation System with Integrated Parking
Sensors operates when the vehicle is shifted into reverse. The color monitor will
activate and show you the view from the camera in the rear of the vehicle. In
addition, the back up sensor system is designed to send out an ultra sonic signal
that detects obstructions behind your vehicle for an average of 6 feet. If an object
is located, the system will sound the buzzer. The buzzer will beep slowly,
denoting that the object is far away. As your vehicle approaches the object it will
beep faster. Once you are very close to the object, the buzzer will sound
continuously, warning you to stop.
NOTE: If you receive a warning realize that an item that is low to the ground may
not be seen by the sensors when it gets very close to the vehicle due to the
mounting location of the bar or the shape of the vehicle. Take all warnings
seriously! Remember this is a driver assistance device, continue to use all
common safety practices while driving, backing, and parking.
Testing the System
Because all objects are shaped differently, the warning system may not give the
same warning distance for all objects. As you learn how your system operates, you
will become more comfortable with the warning buzzer and monitor images.
When you think you are close to the object, STOP! Do not rely on this system as a
complete safety system. Always use your mirrors and look around.
To test the system:
1. Place an object behind the vehicle, such as a trash can or cardboard box.
2. Place the vehicle into reverse and slowly backup towards the object.
3. As you get close to the object, the buzzer will sound, beeping more rapidly as
you get closer to the obstacle.
If the system does not alert you or does not see the item at 1 foot behind the
vehicle, you may need to mount the sensor bar lower. If mounted on the license
plate, use the included brackets and mount it to the bumper or below the bumper.
Re-test the system after it is re-mounted.
