General Information
Warning: The VORAD VS-400 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. Operate a vehicle equipped with the VS-400 System in the same safe manner as if the CWS were not present.
The VS-400 System is not a substitute for safe, normal driving procedures, nor will it compensate for any driver impairment such as drugs, alcohol, or fatigue.
The VS-400 System may provide little or no warning of hazards such as pedestrians, animals, oncoming vehicles, or cross traffic.
Failure to drive safely and use the system properly could result in personal injury and/or death and severe property damage.
The VORAD VS-400 system is an on-board radar system that monitors traffic conditions, warning the driver of potentially hazardous driving situations.
The collision warning system (CWS) tracks objects ahead of the vehicle, warning the driver with visual and audible indicators whenever following distances become unsafe.
SmartCruise® adjusts the vehicle's cruise speed in order to match the speed of traffic ahead, allowing the driver to maintain a safe following distance while cruise control is engaged.
The optional side object detection system warns of unsafe lane changes by detecting vehicles that may be difficult to see in adjacent lanes.
The VORAD VS-400 system performs in fog, rain, snow, dust, smoke, and darkness. The VS-400 system becomes active whenever the ignition key is switched to ON.
