STKR 00-246 - GARAGE SIDE PARKING SENSOR Manual

INTRODUCTION

Let the Garage Side Parking Sensor help you consistently guide your car when you enter and exit your garage. The Garage Side Parking Sensor is low maintenance and easy to install.
When a vehicle SLOWLY enters the garage, the sensor will illuminate GREEN to indicate it is clear to enter. A bright YELLOW light indicates when your side view mirror is getting close to garage opening. A bright RED light and siren indicates you are too far over and in danger of damaging the side of the vehicle, reposition the vehicle to avoid collision.

OPERATION

The STKR Garage Side Parking Sensor should now be properly installed and ready for use.

SETTING THE DESIRED STOPPING DISTANCE
The STKR Garage Side Parking Sensor can be adjusted to set the stop zone from 4 inches away from the sensor up to 2 feet away from the sensor.
The default distance is set to turn the red light on at approx. 6 inches from the sensor. If you would like a different warning distance follow the steps below. You may change the distance as many times as you like.

1. Pull your vehicle into your garage as far over as you can without your mirror hitting the garage opening or other obstacle and stop with your mirror in-line with the sensor (Ignoring the default settings on the parking sensor).
   

It may be wise to have a 2nd person guide you to the desired location to ensure you don't hit anything with your car.

2. Once your car is parked as far over as possible, simply press the "Set Distance" button firmly. The red, yellow, and green LEDs will illuminate. Release the button (Note: you can reset the parking distance anytime by repeating this step).
   
3. Your STKR Garage Side Parking Sensor is now set to illuminate the red zone light indicating you are too far over and need to readjust your vehicle. Yellow means you are 2-6 inches from the red zone. Flashing yellow lets you know you are within 2 inches of the red zone.
   
4. Test your new setting by slowly driving your car into your garage. If your reaction times are slow to stop the car when the red light illuminates, you may want to adjust the red zone distance to allow for the delay.

NOTE: Garage Side Parking Sensor stop distances can vary due to vehicle type, temperature, and weather. It is important to check your reaction time and leave sufficient stopping distance for these variations. Always test the desired stop distance when parking a new vehicle and adjust mounting location or stopping distance if necessary.

The Garage Side Parking Sensor was designed for slow speed parking. For rapid entrance speeds, the display module may not accurately reflect distance, so approach slowly! Remember, this is only a parking aid. It does not stop your car. That is your job! Due to variations in driver skill and reaction time we make no guarantees with this product. Use at your own risk and approach with caution every time. When in doubt, stop the car and check the conditions and location of the car.

The Garage Side Parking Sensor is not suitable for use in wet locations.

Remove batteries before storing the Garage Side Parking Sensor for extended periods. Batteries corrode over time and may cause permanent damage to the unit. Different types of batteries or new and used batteries should not be mixed. Exhausted batteries should be removed from the unit and disposed of properly.

Low Battery Alert (blue flashing LED): flash every 6 seconds

The maximum detection zone is within 3 feet of the side your vehicle.
The yellow light illuminates 6 inches from the predetermined stop zone. Flashing yellow illuminates 2 inches from the predetermined stop zone.

DO NOT PRESS OR DAMAGE THE SENSOR
If it is visually damaged it will no longer be accurate at detecting the side of your vehicle
