Operation of Reverse Lights

Sam's Backup Lights are automatic. NO switches or programming required. When the vehicle is shifted into reverse, the lights will automatically come on. The controller has been programmed with a manual override feature, so back-up lights can be turned on without the vehicle needing to be shifted into reverse.

• Fully Automatic When Shifted to Reverse

1. No programming needed.

• Manual Override Function

1. Shift the vehicle into Neutral.
2. Press and hold the brake pedal for up to 2 seconds. The reverse light will automatically turn on and stay on.

*To turn the light off, repeat this procedure.

Note: If the ignition is turned off while the vehicle is in reverse, or the manual override function is enabled, the lights will remain ON until the ECU enters sleep mode (approximately 30 secs to 2 minutes depending on vehicle and ECU type).
