General Information
The Detroit Assurance collision mitigation system (CMS) is a safety system that uses a radar mounted on the front frame crossmember, shown in Fig., and a windshield-mounted multipurpose camera to communicate information to active features that can control the truck.
The system can track vehicles up to 820 ft (250 m) ahead, and if necessary sounds a warning and applies 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 sensor's operation.
