Detroit Assurance Collision Mitigation System

Gen5Cas DM Ch 10.01.01

Overview

The Detroit Assurance collision mitigation system (CMS) is a safety system that uses five radar sensors, two mounted under each headlight, two mounted behind each front wheel well, and one mounted in the center of the bumper; and a windshield-mounted multipurpose camera to communicate information to active features that can assist the driver in operating the truck. The system can track vehicles up to 820 ft (250 m) ahead, and, if necessary, sound a warning and apply the brakes.

Important: Do not mount any attachments in front of the radar distance sensor. Do not paint or affix items over the distance sensor cover.

Keep the cover free of mud, ice, and snow. Attachments mounted in front of the distance sensor, such as a crash guard, and objects on the sensor cover can impair the operation of the distance sensor.

Warning: The Detroit Assurance Collision Mitigation System is intended solely as an aid for an alert and conscientious professional driver. It is not intended to be relied upon to operate a vehicle. Use the system in conjunction with rearview mirrors and other instruments to safely operate the vehicle.

The Detroit Assurance Collision Mitigation System is not a substitute for safe, normal driving procedures, nor will it compensate for any driver impairment such as drugs, alcohol, fatigue, distraction or inattention.

Operate a vehicle equipped with Detroit Assurance Collision Mitigation System as if the vehicle were not equipped with a collision mitigation system.

Failure to drive safely and use the system properly could result in personal injury and/or death and severe property damage.
