VORAD Collision Warning System
The Eaton VORAD computerized Collision
Warning System constantly monitors vehi-
cles ahead with a front end mounted radar
and in a blind spot area with an optional
side mounted radar. The Collision Warning
System warns the driver of potentially dan-
gerous situations by activating visual and
audible alerts.
The Eaton VORAD Collision Warning
System is intended solely as an aid for
an alert and conscientious professional
driver. It is not to be used or relied upon
to operate the vehicle. Use this system
together with rear view mirrors and
other instrumentation to maintain safe
operation of the vehicle. Operate a VO-
RAD equipped vehicle in the same safe
manner as if VORAD was not installed.
The Eaton VORAD Collision Warning
System is not a substitute for safe driv-
ing procedures nor will it compensate
for any driver impairment, such as
drugs, alcohol or fatigue.
The Eaton VORAD Collision Warning
System may provide little or no warning
for some hazards like: alerts for pedes-
trians, animals, oncoming vehicles and
cross traffic. SmartCruise will not react
to stationary objects and it does not have
the capability to stop the vehicle.
Failure to follow these instructions may
lead to a crash resulting in severe per-
sonal injury or death.
If your vehicle is equipped with the Eaton
VORAD Collision Warning System, read
the manufacturer’s Driver Reference Man-
ual before taking the vehicle on the road.
