Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: Is the installation difficult? Do I need to be a mechanic?
A1: While it is plug-and-play electrically, the installation does require removing the rear bumper cover to access the mounting location and wiring ports. While possible for an experienced DIYer, professional installation is recommended for a perfect and stress-free result.
Q2: Will this drain my car's battery?
A2: No. The system uses a modern, low-power control unit that enters a sleep mode when not in use. It has a negligible impact on your car's battery.
Q3: How accurate is the sensor? Will it open if an animal runs under the car?
A3: The sensor is specifically calibrated to detect the unique, intentional "in-and-out" kicking motion of a human leg and foot. It is highly unlikely to be triggered by passing animals or road debris.
Q4: What happens if I lose the small remote for car wash mode?
A4: The remote is only needed to temporarily disable the sensor for car washes. If you lose it, the sensor will remain active. We recommend keeping the remote in a safe place like your glove box.
