Operating Instructions WARNING DANGER This symbol means important instructions. What to do in the case of an extremely critical situation wherein someone may suffer grave or mortal injury. DO NOT PROCEED TO BACK UP YOUR VEHICLE WHILE PEOPLE ARE IN YOUR VIEW OR THE CAMERA’S VIEW. SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH CAN RESULT. WARNING This symbol means important instructions. Failure to heed them can result in serious injury or death.
or ersa to MAKE THE CORRECT CONNECTIONS. When making connections to the vehicle’s electrical system, be aware of the factory installed components (e.g. on-board computer). Do not tap into these leads to provide power for this unit. When connecting the device to the fuse box, make sure the fuse for the intended circuit of the device has the appropriate amperage. Failure to do so may result in fire or damage to the unit and/or the vehicle. When in doubt, consult your Alpine dealer.
HAVE THE WIRING AND INSTALLATION DONE BY EXPERTS. The wiring and installation of this unit requires special technical skill and experience. To ensure safety, always contact the dealer where you purchased this product to have the work done. ARRANGE THE WIRING SO IT IS NOT CRIMPED OR PINCHED BY A SHARP METAL EDGE. Route the cables and wiring away from moving parts (like the seat rails) or sharp or pointed edges. This will prevent crimping and damage to the wiring. HALT USE IMMEDIATELY IF A PROBLEM APPEARS.
Feature This camera system displays a live video of the area behind the vehicle. A separately installed monitor is required to view this video. When the vehicle is placed in reverse, besides video, the system also detects various objects (such as other cars or people) moving behind the vehicle. There is a visual and audible warning given for each object detected. There are 4 different display configurations for the rear view.
Cautions Regarding Object Detection Function This camera system is designed to help the driver make safe driving decisions. It must not replace a thorough, visual inspection around the vehicle by the driver, before proceeding. • This system cannot detect every object within range of coming in contact with your vehicle. • This camera distorts object size and distance from the vehicle.
ot g. d by mera g • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • If multiple pedestrians crossing. If multiple pedestrians continuously approaching.
Display of Detected Object The display when an object is detected differs depending on image configurations. The warning ends when the object comes directly behind the vehicle. No warning also occurs when the object moves away from the vehicle. Whe syst • When there are lots of objects present, such as in a crowd of people, the outer frame light will blink as a warning. Individual objects will not be detected.
s lso the When the object comes into the screen, the system boxes off the obstacle in red. The warning ends when the object comes directly behind the vehicle. No warning also occurs when the object moves away from the vehicle. • The Ground View displays only a small area. Even if no warning occurs, make sure to check the surrounding area thoroughly. e Corner View Display Indications The direction from which a detected object is approaching is indicated on the left or right side of the screen.
Warning Icon when No Object is Detected Cam The system detects an object only when the gear lever is in the reverse position (R). With imag The conf For d conf 15) • If a rear camera image is displayed without placing the gear lever in the reverse position (when you call a rear camera image from the menu screen for example), object detection is not active. When object detection is not active, an icon appears at the upper left of the screen.
Camera Image With HCE-C305R, you can select and switch image configurations. The guidelines display varies with the image configuration. For details on how to switch image configurations, refer to “Camera Operation” (page 15) Ground View: Displays an image down to the lower section of the car. Use this to determine the car’s position in relation to the curb, etc. • The guidelines shown here are for illustrative purposes only. The guidelines in the actual image will be different.
About the rear camera guide e Indication mark meaning When you put the car in reverse gear, the monitor switches to the rear camera view. Guidelines appear to help in determining distances to surrounding objects (vehicles, walls, etc.). e Distance guidelines The distance guidelines represents the distance to the road surface, so you cannot judge the distance to an object based on these marks. C B A (about 20” (0.
ce to ance ut 5m)) Error between the display and actual road surface e When there is a steep downward slope behind the car (example) Under the following conditions, errors are produced between the display guidelines and the actual road surface. (The illustrations represent a case when the camera is installed in the standard position.
About Calibration C In order to effectively identify approaching objects, it is necessary to configure the guidance and install data. This data is entered during the Calibration mode and ensures the most consistent detection results. For details on how to configure the calibration settings, refer to “Calibration” (page 26). • A message appears on the screen if the system has not been calibrated.
