Safety Read these instructions carefully before starting with the installation. Observe all safety instructions and the relevant accident-prevention regulations. Before using the system for the first time observe the enclosed operating instructions and refer the operating instructions to everyone using the system.

Safety instructions Wear appropriate protective equipment. Deburr cutouts and holes in the panel. Wrap insulating tape around any stripped and exposed cable ends. Route cables with strain-relief and free of vibration. Route cable such that the insulation, e.g. cannot be damaged by sharp edges. Before conducting any work on the vehicle electronics disconnect the negative terminal on the battery. All volatile electronic memories such as, e.g. on-board computer and radio will lose their values! Note down values and radio code beforehand.

Before installing Installation instructions in graphic + text form Install the system as shown in the pictures in these instructions from page 2 onwards. The pictures are explained by the instructions given here in text form. These installation instructions describe the method for several versions. Individual installation situations are valid for various versions and are shown here as examples. If an installation situation refers specifically to a particular version it is accordingly designated. The following symbols are used in these pictures: = Requiring particular attention = Variants (choose between several options) = Check = Lesser than = Greater than = Approximately

= Diagnosis = Equal distance = Plug together

= LED lights constantly = LED flashes on and off

Cable colour code: Required tools and material (Page 2) Prepare required tools. This makes the installation process easier. Additionally required material (Page 2, bottom): – Antirust paint – Primer (1 x plastic paint base, 1x metallic paint base) – Spray paint in bumper colour Checking package contents (Page 3) Check package contents for completeness when unpacking.

Checking installation conditions (Page 4) Install the sensors at areas with slight curvature only to ensure that the contoured rings are flush to the contact surface. Picture 1: 3-sensor rear end system What is it to be used for? Installation at rear. Do not use: – for permanently mounted trailer hitch, – when the license plate is seated in the rear bumper, – if the sensor distance to the exhaust system is less than 150 mm, – if the distance between the middle and outer sensors must be greater than 550 mm. What to use for which vehicle width? Less than 1,600 mm Picture 2: 4-sensor rear end system What is it to be used for? Installation at rear. Distance of inner sensors to licence plate at least 35 mm. Sensor distance to exhaust at least 150 mm. What to use for which vehicle width? Less than 2200 mm Install sensors on areas that are as flat as possible, with only a slight curvature. For further size details, see pictures.

Selecting contour rings (Page 5) Depending on the vehicle-specific installation height (h) and installation angle (α) for the sensors, contour rings (included in package contents) must be selected for compensation. The installation height refers to an unladen vehicle. The installation angle (α) must be measured, when the vehicle is in a horizontal position, using an angle measuring instrument and level gauge. Example for an optimum position: when h = 580 mm and α = 90°, select contour ring 0 263 006 099.

Installation Checking installation depth (Page 6) Picture 2: •Mark installation height. Picture 3: •Remove bumper to check the installation depth. Picture 4: The installation depth must be greater than 40 mm.

Painting sensors (Page 7) Attention! Observe details on spray cans. Pictures 3-4: •Prime contour rings using synthetic paint base, then paint in colour of bumper. Pictures 7-8: •Prime sensors using metallic paint base, then paint in colour of bumper.

Drilling bumper and unpacking sensors (Page 8) Pictures 1-3: Mark distance to upper and lower edge of bumper and drill. Pictures 4-7: When dry, push the sensors out of the painting box – do not unscrew them! Fastening contour ring and installation housing onto bumper (Page 9) Picture 1: Depending on the installation angle (α) the locking tab of the contour ring must face up or down. – α less than 90° = Retainer tab of contour ring upwards – α greater than 90° = Retainer tab of contour ring downwards Pictures 2-7: Installation housings must latch securely into contour rings.

Routing sensor wiring harness (Page 10) The pictures show an installation example for a 4-sensor system. Picture 1: •Attach cable to bumper or chassis (with strain relief and vibration free). •Route cable such that the insulation, e.g. cannot be damaged by sharp edges. Marking “1” = right rear Pictures 2-3: Sensors must latch correctly into the sensor holder.

Duct in chassis (Page 11) Picture 1: •Select position for cable duct. Note: select duct on same side of vehicle as installation location for the control unit (see Page 12, Picture 1). Picture 4: •Remove chippings. •Apply antirust paint.

Installing control unit (Page 12) Install control unit at location, which is protected against water, dust and heat. Picture 1: •Select suitable installation location. Pictures 3+4: •Align socket strip downwards and fasten in place using 2 screws. Picture 5: •Plug in sensor wiring harness connector. In individual cases it is more practical to plug-in the connector before installing the control unit. •Fasten cable up to a distance of 80 to 100 mm from the control unit (e.g. using adhesive tape/cable ties).

Installing display (Page 13) Attention! Do not mount display in area of airbags. •Choose a level surface for installation. •Fasten cable up to a distance of 80 to 100 mm from the display (e.g. using adhesive tape/cable ties). The pictures show various installation examples.

Setting up power supply system (Page 14) Make sure that the lights and fog lamps are switched off. Pictures 1-2: •Engage reverse gear. •Determine which lead for the reversing lamps conducts +12 V (with ignition switched on and reverse gear engaged). Picture 4: •Join grey line from system wiring harness with this current carrying line. Use a crimp-fused connection. Picture 5: •Join brown ground lead from system wiring harness to body. Make sure contact to panel is a good one.

Using with trailer hitch (Page 15) Attention! Do not use any trailer coupling bearing parts.

Increase distance for operation with trailer hitch Picture 3: If a trailer coupling has been mounted, then the cable loop (white) of the system wiring harness has to be cut. This results in the following modifications: –The Stop Warning is issued at 450 mm (an offset of 150 mm) and not as in the Normal Mode at 300 mm. This offset is also calculated into the remaining warning ranges. –The signals caused by the trailer coupling’s ball end are also hidden. Attention! Malfunctions may occur if the cable loop is not cut.

Switching off for trailer coupling operation Picture 4: If the trailer coupling is used with the trailer then the ParkPilot must be capable of being switched off. •Install switches. Switch is not part of package contents, order number 0 341 500 801.

System calibration Note! In a rear-front end system, use the calibration description from the front end system installation instructions.

Calibration requirements –Perform calibration on a vertical and level wall. –The wall must be – at the very least – as high as the upper edge of the luggage compartment. –The wall must be wider than the vehicle by at least 1 m at the left and right. –Ambient temperature between 5 °C and 30 °C –No influence by external ultrasonic waves or acoustic interference such as the noise of a compressed-air hammer. Attention! People or objects must not be positioned between the vehicle and the wall or in the measuring range at the side of the vehicle!

Calibration Once the system has been fully installed: •Switch on ignition. •Engage reverse gear. LEDs A+D (= start-up mode) light up. •Reverse slowly and in a straight line towards the wall until the following display is visible: LEDs A+D continue to light and then are initially joined by yellow LEDs B+C flashing on and off and they then light continuously. •If the four LEDs A+B+C+D light constantly, stop the vehicle, engage the handbrake, disengage reverse gear and switch off the ignition. Notes: If one of the E or F LEDs lights up then the vehicle is at an incline. If LED E lights: the vehicle is too close to the wall at the right. If LED F lights: the vehicle is too close to the wall at the left. If the LEDs, A to F, light up then the vehicle is generally too close to the wall. In this case, drive away from the wall and repeat the procedure; in doing so drive straight towards the wall.

•Switch on ignition, engine off (on some vehicles the engine has to be started) •Engage reverse gear. The automatic calibration procedure now starts; this is displayed by LEDs flashing on and off in pairs for up to 45 seconds. Successful calibration is indicated by the LEDs as follows: 3-sensor system: LEDs B+C+D light up. 4-sensor system: LEDs B+C+D+E light up. If another display is shown at the end of the calibration procedure than the ones listed here, our Hot Line will be only too glad to assist you (see rear cover). Following a successful calibration procedure: •Disengage reverse gear. •Drive vehicle away from vehicle (approx. 2 m). •Switch off ignition. •Cut cable loop (BK = black) on sensor wiring harness, see following picture. Testing operational readiness: •Switch on ignition. •Engage reverse gear. All LEDs flash on and off briefly. Readiness tone audible. The system is now ready

Resetting to factory settings The system can be reset to its original factory settings. •Switch off ignition. •Join the ends of the cable (BK = black) of the previously separated cable loop on the sensor wiring harness. •On the system wiring harness (black connector, 12pin.) join the cable (orange) to the ground point. •Switch on ignition. •Engage reverse gear. LEDs A+C+E+G light up. •Switch off ignition. •On the system wiring harness (black connector) detach the cable (orange) from the ground point. The system has now been reset to its factory setting.
