Installation Instructions

AutoVue® Lane Departure Warning (LDW) System (3G) by Bendix CVS

PREPARATION

The vehicle must be parked on level ground. Switch off the ignition and disconnect the battery.

Read and understand this document before beginning work. See the General Safety Guidelines on Page 2. Familiarize yourself with the kit contents; kits may feature speakers OR vibrating seat motors.

Inspect the windshield area where the camera will be mounted for damage/cracks to be sure there will be a clear view.

In some cases, it may be necessary to consult the vehicle's electrical schematic diagram(s) to plan access to the power supply and the turn-signal wiring.

REQUIRED TOOLS

3¼ inch hole saw; wire strippers; wire crimpers; small "torpedo"-style level; test light or multimeter; and wire-pulling aids. Depending on the installation, see a list of optional tools on the final page.

INSTALLATION OVERVIEW

Plan the entire installation before beginning work. Some key points to bear in mind when planning the installation are:

Camera and processor placement - note that the length of the camera cord is approximately 22 in. (550 mm) long.

Wiring harness routing.

Access to the turn-signal wiring.

Dash switch location and wiring.

Speaker (or seat motor) locations and wiring.

Where you are installing Autovue® LDW system on multiple vehicles, standardize the best installation for the model; this will assist when troubleshooting.

CAMERA MOUNTING

IMPORTANT: Before mounting the camera, verify that the vehicle is level.

1.Clean and inspect the inside of the windshield where the windshield bracket will be mounted. Use a denatured alcohol-based (or similar) cleaner. Cracks/distortion/ damage that would interfere with the camera operation are not acceptable. Clean and dry the windshield; the presence of grease or dirt will affect the adhesive used to hold the camera bracket in place.
