To operate the front parking assist system, refer to your vehicle's owner's manual. Typically, the system activates automatically when reverse gear is engaged or when driving at low speeds. It can also be manually activated or deactivated using the dedicated switch on the dashboard, which is connected via this cable set.

4. Maintenance

The Kufatec PDC Front Control Cable is designed for durability and requires minimal maintenance once installed. To ensure long-term performance and reliability, consider the following:

• Periodic Inspection: During routine vehicle maintenance, visually inspect the accessible parts of the cable for any signs of wear, fraying, cuts, or damage.
• Connection Security: Ensure all connections remain secure and free from corrosion. Loose connections can lead to intermittent system failures.
• Environmental Protection: Avoid exposing the cable to extreme temperatures, harsh chemicals, or excessive moisture, which could degrade the insulation and conductors over time.
• Cleaning: If necessary, gently clean the cable with a dry, soft cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
