• Sun glare or other light source blinds the camera, obscures the lane markings, or makes
other road markings (e.g. tar strips) look like lane markings.

use replacements with the same part number (or a direct
superceding replacement number supplied by Bendix).
2.5 ALERT VOLUME
Audible alert levels are pre-set at the factory and can not
be turned off, nor can the volume be adjusted.
