Conrad Electronic 85 51 49 Notice D'emploi page 17

• The device merely serves as an aid for reverse driving and does not relieve the driver from his/her
obligation to exercise due care. The device's method of operation may mean that certain obstacles
are not detected, or are not reliably detected.
• The device is only fully functional during slow reversing. The warning may not be emitted in time if the
vehicle is moving at faster speeds.
• The device's performance may be negatively affected by large amounts of dirt on the sensors or by
the effects of exhaust gas.
• The sensors must not obstruct the vehicle's rear lights, the number plate or any other of the vehicle's
equipment and they must be flush with the edge of the vehicle.
• When installing and operating the system, always observe the applicable motor vehicle regulations
and road traffic regulations.
• Prior to all installation work, always disconnect the minus pole of the battery. This prevents the dan-
ger of short circuits. Only connect the negative pole of the battery, when you have completely con-
nected the system and checked the connections. Observe the notices of the vehicle manufacturer in
order not to lose vehicle-specific data memory.
• Only use a volt meter or a diode test lamp for checking the voltage on the vehicle system leads, as
normal test lamps consume excessive voltage and may thus damage the vehicle's electronics.
• When installing cables make sure that the connection cables are not squeezed or damaged by sharp
edges. Use rubber bushings for passing points.
• Modifications to the vehicle which are made necessary through the installation of the parking aid
must always be carried out in such a manner that neither the traffic safety nor the designed stability
of the car is impaired.
• If you are in doubt about where to install the device, consult your car dealer.
• Before drilling the attachment holes make sure that the electric cables, brake lines, the fuel tank or
similar systems will not be damaged.
• When using tools to install your parking aid, observe the manufacturers' safety precautions.
• When installing components, take into consideration the risk of accident which can arise from parts
being torn away in case of an accident. Therefore you should securely fasten every part in a place
where it cannot become dangerous for the passengers of the car.
