Bendix Commercial Vehicle Systems VORAD DRIVER - Manual (Page 12)

Bendix ™ VORAD ® VS-400 Collision Warning System
2 Second Alert
If the headway following distance decreases to within two seconds, the driver will be
alerted with a second yellow LED indicator and the text “2 Seconds” displayed in the
LCD screen. The DIU will also alert with an audible tone if the following distance is
closing in, warning the driver that the following distance is becoming unsafe.
Note: If a vehicle cuts into your lane in front, but is accelerating away from you, the
DIU may not warn with an audible tone.
Note: If Bendix ™ SmartCruise ® adaptive cruise control is active at two seconds
following or less, the SmartCruise status screen will remain displayed and the
LED following indicators will illuminate.
Refer to the Bendix ™ SmartCruise ® adaptive cruise control section in this manual for
more information.
In most driving situations, following at three seconds or less is considered unsafe
and should warrant the driver to react by slowing the vehicle down in order to
increase the following distance.
