Parktronic is a device that scans the obstacles in a limited visibility area for the car driver, and warning about the sound and light signal. Parking radar greatly facilitates parking in difficult conditions of the city, especially for novice car enthusiasts. However, many experienced car owners are skeptical about its installation. Motorists, on the cars of which there is a regular installation of parking sensors on the conveyor, do not regret it at all. It is not difficult to install the parking sensors, and the independent installation will cost much cheaper than buying a car already equipped with a parking radar.

There are several types of parking sensors. First, they differ in the number of sensors installed, which are installed on one or both bumper simultaneously. Secondly, they have a different driver warning system about danger: sound, sound and signal on display, video image. Basically, parking sensors combine sound and visual signal. Thirdly, parking sensors differ in the method of installation of sensors: open and hidden. Sensors capture the obstacle through the reflection of ultrasonic signals, transmit a signal through the ECU (electronic control unit), which processes it and displays information on the display and as a sound signal.

If you select Petnonik, you must pay attention to the instructions for connecting it to the car's power grid, it must be translated into Russian. It is necessary to ensure and comply with the warranty period from the manufacturer and the seller. The warranty may not act if the parking sensors are installed independently. The technical characteristics of parking sensors should also be taken into account: the height suitable for the car bumper, the range and sensitivity of the sensors.

Before you start, it is necessary to expect the installation instructions and the Parktronic Connection Scheme to the on-board network of the car. The control unit needs to be placed, given the practicality, availability and length of the wiring. It is convenient to position it in the trunk, while it must be available, do not interfere and not exposed to mechanical damage.

The following tools are needed to install ParkTronics:
screwdriver or drill;
key;
milling cutter or drill of the same diameter;
roulette;
pencil;
double sided tape;
insulating tape;
solvent.

We establish a classic parking sensor on 6 sensors (2 on the front bumper, 4 - on the rear). It is necessary to mark the sensor. To do this, you need to know the recommended height of the sensors from the ground and their radius of action. In the instructions, these numbers must be specified. Remove the bumper to take into account its design, you need to start marking from extreme sensors. The distance between the extreme sensors should be divided into equal segments, mark the places for the remaining 2 sensors with a pencil.
6
Make the cutting hole, strictly perpendicular to the surface of the bumper. Sensors must be installed horizontally without deviations up, down or side. Sensors Mount to holes from the outside, the wires must be inside. Secure sensors from the inside with special rings.
7
The wires of sensors are assembled in the harness and secure the insulating tape, connect with standard wires located in the bumper. Wires must pass inside the car through the technological hole. On the rear bumper - inside the trunk, on the front - inside the hood. Then you need to put the bumper in place and secure the regular fastening. Everything is installed in the same way on the front bumper.

Control unit connect to wire reversing lamps. Polarity should be strictly observed. The display can be fixed anywhere, the main thing is that it is well visible to the driver. It can be consolidated by bilateral scotch. Wires stretched through the entire interior of the car must be hidden under the mats to avoid damage. Before installing the control unit, the selected place for its installation must be wiped with a solvent and wipe well. The unit must be attached to two-way scotch, then check the system.
Before leaving the city, it is necessary to test the sensor reaction to various types of obstacles. You should check the radius of the sensors. This will help to get used to their signals and understand the work algorithm.
