BENDIX BW2769 manual Forward Looking Radar Blocked

Troubleshooting

Forward Looking Radar Blocked

Whenever the system determines the forward looking radar has become blocked, obstructed, or becomes blind due to heavy rain or snow, the Bendix™ VORAD® system will disable itself and the driver interface unit will display the “Radar Blocked” message on the LCD screen.

To clear this message you must stop the vehicle and power off the system. The radar must be clear of any debris, snow, or obstructions before the system will resume normal operation.

Inspect the forward looking radar unit to clear any debris that may be interfering with its operation. If the radar appears to be damaged or misaligned, take the vehicle to your OEM service center for repair.

▲! WARNING

Do not rely on the system to warn in inclement weather like heavy rain or snow.

Using Bendix™ SmartCruise® Adaptive Cruise Control When Bendix™ VORAD® VS-400 Forward Collision Warning System Has Failed

If the Bendix™ VORAD® VS-400 forward collision warning system becomes inoperative due to a system failure or blocked radar, this will prohibit the Bendix™ SmartCruise® adaptive cruise control from operating. Most engines allow the driver to enable normal cruise mode by toggling the cruise control on/off switch two times (off, on, off, on).
