Overview

The BendixVORAD® VS-400 collision warning system is an advanced vehicle on-board radar system that monitors traffic conditions, warning the driver of potentially hazardous driving situations.

The BendixVORAD® VS-400 system can be configured with the following features:

Collision Warning and SmartCruise

The Collision Warning System tracks vehicles ahead of the host vehicle, warning the driver with visual and audible indicators from the in-cab Driver Interface Unit whenever following distances become unsafe.

SmartCruise® adaptive cruise control adjusts the vehicle’s cruise speed in order to match the speed of detected traffic ahead allowing the driver to maintain a safe following distance while in cruise control.

The optional Side Object Detection system warns of unsafe lane changes by detecting a vehicle that may be difficult to see in the adjacent lane.

! WARNING

The BendixVORAD® VS-400 system should only be used as a driving aid and not as a substitute for safe driving practices.
