Special Road Situations

Certain special road situations may affect the system's ability to detect objects. These situations include the effects of curves, dips, and hills which can provide an unexpected result.

• When an object is detected in a very sharp right- or left-hand turn, the audible alarm will not sound.

• When approaching a curve, alarms may sound and lights illuminate, because of an object off the road directly in line with your vehicle. This will not occur when the brakes are applied.

• Elevated obstacles such as overpasses and overhead signs may be detected, when approaching a roadway descending to a lower elevation.

• Vehicles cannot be detected on the other side of a hill. An alarm will not sound until the object is within the antenna assembly's field of view.

• On approaching a steep hill, objects above the beam cannot be detected. Generally, the beam hitting the road surface does not cause an alarm.

• The side sensor only detects objects within its field of view, next to the tractor. A vehicle farther back behind the field of view, will not be detected.

• The side sensor range is set to detect average sized vehicles 2 to 10 feet (0.5 to 3 meters) away in the adjacent lane.

• The radar beam will detect near range cut-ins of approximately 30 feet (9 meters) or less, depending on the angle of entrance into the lane in front of your vehicle.

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