The Precision Park 5000 system consists of four ultrasonic sensors, 

one control unit, one wiring harness and one display/speaker. 

The sensors operate both as transmitters and as receivers, which send 

an ultra high frequency sound wave (sonar) that is reflected off an 

object and received. The distance from the obstacle is evaluated through 

the transit time of the signals and is indicated by a sequence of pulse 

tones, the closer the obstacle, the faster the sequence of pulse tones. 

The distance to the obstacle and obstacle location are communicated 

to the driver via a 5 color LED display.

The sensors mount into or attach  to  the  rear  bumper.  The control 

module mounts beneath the vehicle with the display mounted to the 

dash in view of the driver. 

Safety precaution: Failure to observe the instructions could damage

the device and impair its function as well as cause injury due  to  

electrical current.

Due to the risk of short circuit, always disconnect the negative pole 

of the battery before starting work. Disconnecting the negative pole 

of the battery may result in loss of system memory and may need to 

be reset.

Precision Park is intended as a parking aid. Due to the nature of the 

system, some obstacles may not be detected or may be identified 

inaccurately due to physical reflection properties. The system does 

not relieve the driver of their responsibility to exercise caution when 

reversing and to obey the safety rules and regulations given by the 

vehicle manufacturer.
