Installation Procedure

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2016 Chevrolet Trax and 2016 Buick Encore. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

NOTE:

Do not refinish previously painted sensors. Excess paint build up will cause the sensor to be inoperative.

Paint the rear object sensor.
Ensure the paint does not exceed 6 mils. Use a paint thickness gauge suitable for non-ferrous metals.
