Bendix Commercial Vehicle Systems VORAD DRIVER - Manual (Page 29)

Troubleshooting
Forward Looking Radar Blocked
Whenever the system determines the forward looking radar has become blocked,
obstructed, or becomes blind due to heavy rain or snow, the Bendix
™ VORAD ®
system will disable itself and the driver interface unit will display the “Radar Blocked”
message on the LCD screen.
To clear this message you must stop the vehicle and power off the system. The
radar must be clear of any debris, snow, or obstructions before the system will
resume normal operation.
Inspect the forward looking radar unit to clear any debris that may be interfering with
its operation. If the radar appears to be damaged or misaligned, take the vehicle to
your OEM service center for repair.
Do not rely on the system to warn in inclement weather like heavy rain or snow.
Using Bendix ™ SmartCruise ® Adaptive Cruise Control When Bendix ™ VORAD ®
VS-400 Forward Collision Warning System Has Failed
If the Bendix
™ VORAD ® VS-400 forward collision warning system becomes
inoperative due to a system failure or blocked radar, this will prohibit the Bendix ™
SmartCruise ® adaptive cruise control from operating. Most engines allow the driver
to enable normal cruise mode by toggling the cruise control on/off switch two times
(off, on, off, on).
