General Information
The Detroit Assurance 5.0 Collision Mitigation System is an active driver safety system that uses radar mounted on the front frame crossmember, shown in Fig., and a windshield-mounted multipurpose camera to communicate information to the vehicles' brakes, engine, and transmission.
The system can track vehicles up to 820 feet (250 meters) ahead, and if necessary, will 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. If attachments are mounted in front of the distance sensor, such as a crash guard, they can impair the operation of the distance sensor.
