The detected forward vehicle slows
rapidly.
The Following Distance Alert -
Action Required warning will sound
and a visual message typically
appears on the DID.
You must respond as needed.
If the system intervenes, the
vehicle throttle will be reduced;
the engine retarder engaged; and
the foundation brakes applied, in
that order to maintain the set
following distance.
NOTE: When the ACB applies
the foundation brakes, cruise
control will automatically pause,
and will cancel if vehicle speed
falls below the minimum set
speed or the driver manually
depresses the brake pedal.
A detected forward vehicle cuts in
front of your vehicle and speeds
away.
Following Distance Alerts (FDAs)
may be given to you, depending on
the exact system configuration that
has been set for the vehicle, and
how close the vehicle cuts in front.
You must respond as needed.
The system may intervene to
maintain the set following
distance.
Downhill Grades
Going down a grade with a detected
forward vehicle.
DO NOT USE cruise control on
downhill grades.
DO NOT USE cruise control on
downhill grades. Brake overuse
may occur.
Cruise control should NOT be used on downhill grades.
WARNING
The section preceding shows examples of situations and typical Prevost Driver Assist™ system responses.
However, the chart does not attempt to cover all possible situations.
Due to the inherent limitations of radar and camera technology, the enhanced Collision Mitigation
Technology – on rare occasions – may not detect moving vehicles or stationary vehicles in your vehicle’s
lane of travel. Alerts, warnings, or brake interventions may not occur.
Due to the inherent limitations of radar and camera technology, the enhanced Collision Mitigation
Technology – on rare occasions – may react to moving vehicles not in your vehicle’s lane of travel. Alerts,
warnings, or brake interventions may occur.
HOW YOUR ACTIONS IMPACT THE PREVOST DRIVER ASSIST™ SYSTEM
Your Action Reactions of the Prevost Driver Assist™ system
If you, the driver, do this: Expect the Prevost Driver Assist™ system to do this:
Step on the brake (during a collision
mitigation event).
As the driver, you are always in control and are able to apply full braking
power.
Step aggressively on the accelerator
(during a collision mitigation event).
As the driver, you are always in control. Your actions override any
Prevost Driver Assist™ system actions. NOTE: If cruise control is
engaged, it will be overridden until the accelerator is released; then
cruise control will resume the original set speed automatically.
