Preventive Maintenance

Preventive Maintenance

The following steps should be performed daily before operating any vehicle equipped with the Bendix™ VORAD® VS-400 forward collision warning system and Bendix™ BlindSpotter® side object detection system.

•Inspect the forward looking radar and side radar sensor(s) for damage. Remove any mud, snow, and debris that may interfere with the sensor operation.

•Inspect the front of the vehicle for any damage that may have knocked the forward looking radar out of alignment.

Cleaning

The forward looking radar and side radar sensor should be cleaned periodically to remove dirt and bugs from the radar lens. All external components can be cleaned with any products approved by the vehicle’s OEM for cleaning the exterior of the vehicle.

The driver interface unit should be cleaned with a dry soft cloth. Avoid using ammonia, silicone, or alcohol-based cleaning products that may dull the display surface or damage the LCD screen.

Servicing

All of the Bendix™ VORAD® VS-400 components are factory sealed and should never be taken apart. The forward looking radar should only be removed and/or installed by a qualified service technician.

Forward Looking Radar Alignment

The forward looking radar is precision aligned during installation. If the front of the vehicle becomes damaged, or the forward looking radar is removed, the radar unit must be re-aligned by a qualified service technician. Failure to align the forward looking radar can result in improper vehicle tracking or reduce the ability of the system to properly detect and warn.
