Installation Guide

Proper installation is crucial for the optimal performance of your parking sensor system. Follow these steps carefully:

1. Sensor Placement: Determine the optimal locations on your vehicle's rear bumper for the four parking sensors. Ensure they are evenly spaced and at a consistent height for accurate detection.

3. Sensor Installation: Insert the parking sensors into the drilled holes. Ensure they are securely fitted and facing outwards.
4. Wiring Connections:
   • Connect the red power cord from the main motor to the power cord of the vehicle's reversing lamp. This ensures the system activates when reverse gear is engaged.
   • Connect the blue power cord from the main motor to the vehicle's brake lamp.
   • Connect the black power cord from the main motor to a suitable ground point on the vehicle chassis.
5. Buzzer Placement: Mount the buzzer in a location inside the vehicle where the alarm can be clearly heard by the driver, using the provided 3M sticker.
6. Main Motor Placement: Secure the main motor (control unit) in a dry, protected area within the vehicle, away from excessive heat or moisture.
7. Test the System: After installation, test the system by engaging reverse gear and slowly approaching an obstacle to verify the alarm functionality.

Operating Instructions

The KAOLALI Car Parking Sensor system is designed for simple and intuitive operation:

• Automatic Activation: The radar system automatically starts detection when the car is put into reverse gear.
• Obstacle Detection: The four rear sensors continuously monitor the area behind your vehicle.
• Audible Warning: When an obstacle is detected within the system's range (30cm-200cm), the buzzer will emit an audible warning.
• Proximity Indication: The closer your vehicle gets to an obstacle, the louder and more frequent the alarm sound will become, providing clear feedback on the remaining distance.

Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and reliable performance of your KAOLALI Car Parking Sensors, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:

• Sensor Cleaning: Regularly clean the surface of the parking sensors to remove dirt, mud, snow, or ice. Obstructions can interfere with detection accuracy. Use a soft cloth and mild cleaning solution.
• Cable Inspection: Periodically check all wiring connections for any signs of wear, damage, or loose connections. Ensure cables are securely fastened and not exposed to excessive friction or heat.
• Avoid High-Pressure Washing: When washing your vehicle, avoid directing high-pressure water jets directly at the sensors, as this could potentially damage them.
• Environmental Protection: While the sensors are designed for various weather conditions, extreme environmental factors (e.g., prolonged exposure to corrosive chemicals) should be avoided.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your parking sensor system, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• No Alarm Sound:
  • Check if the system is properly powered when reverse gear is engaged.
  • Verify all wiring connections (red to reverse lamp, black to ground, blue to brake lamp) are secure.
  • Ensure the buzzer is correctly connected to the main motor and is not obstructed.
• Continuous Alarm or False Alarms:
  • Inspect sensors for dirt, mud, ice, or other obstructions on their surface. Clean them thoroughly.
  • Check if sensors are securely mounted and not loose or angled incorrectly.
  • Ensure no external objects (e.g., tow hitch, bicycle rack) are permanently within the sensor's detection range.
• Inconsistent Detection:
  • Verify that all sensors are clean and free from damage.
  • Check for any loose wiring connections to individual sensors or the main motor.
  • Ensure sensors are installed at a consistent height and angle.

If these steps do not resolve the issue, please contact customer support for further assistance.
