Side Object Detection is intended
solely as an aid for an alert and conscientious professional driver. It is not to be used
or relied upon to operate a vehicle. The system should be used in conjunction with
rear view mirrors and other instrumentation to maintain safe operation of the vehicle,
ground personnel, and adjacent property. A vehicle equipped with the Bendix
™
VORAD
®
VS-400 Forward Collision Warning System should be operated in the same
safe manner as if the system were not installed. The system is not a substitute for
normal safe driving procedures. It will not compensate for any driver impairment,
such as drugs, alcohol, or fatigue. Should the system become inoperative, it could
jeopardize the safety or lives of those who depend on the system for safety.
The system will not sense objects if the sensor view is obstructed. Therefore,
do not place objects in front of the system sensor. Remove heavy buildups of
mud, dirt, ice, and other materials.
Proper alignment is critical to correct operation of the system.
Testing and inspection of the system in accordance with these instructions
and record of the results should be listed on the daily maintenance report.
The units on operating vehicles must be tested each day (see the “Testing
and Maintenance” section) prior to the vehicle’s operation. Results of this test
must be recorded in the maintenance log.
People operating this equipment MUST check for proper operation at the
beginning of every shift or safety inspection period.
