Driver Controls and Instruments light goes out when the wheel stops spinning. The Ben- dix system will either reduce engine torque or apply gentle brake pressure to force the differential to drive the stationary or slowly spinning wheel. If slippery road conditions continue, engage the axle lock. See Fig. 3.24 . be detected, objects must be within the radar beam’s field of view and provide a surface area that can reflect back the radar beam. The front-looking antenna assembly transmits radar sig- nals to, and receives them back from, vehicles and ob- jects ahead. This allows the determination of the dis- tance to, relative speed of, and angle to the target of vehicles and objects ahead.
The system uses this infor- mation to warn the driver of potentially dangerous situations. IMPORTANT: If any of the ABS warning lights do not work as described above, or come on while driving, repair the ABS system immediately to en- sure full antilock braking capability. See Group 42 in the Business Class ® Trucks Service Manual for troubleshooting procedures. Optional side sensor(s) mounted on the side of the ve- hicle also transmit and receive radar signals for a dis- tance of 2 to 10 feet (0.5 to 3 meters) alongside your vehicle. The side sensor(s) provide a 15 degree vertical by 15 degree horizontal beam pattern.
The side sen- sor(s) can detect unseen vehicles and objects moving and stationary adjacent to your vehicle. See the brake system operating instructions in Chap- ter 7 for more information. Collision Warning System (CWS), Eaton VORAD EVT– 300, Optional WARNING The Eaton VORAD EVT–300 is a computerized collision warning system (CWS) that uses front-mounted and side-mounted (optional) radar to continuously monitor vehicles ahead of and alongside your vehicle. The Eaton VORAD EVT–300 Collision Warning Sys- tem (CWS) is intended solely as an aid for an alert and conscientious professional driver. It is not in- tended to be used or relied upon to operate a ve- hicle.
Use the system in conjunction with rearview mirrors and other instrumentation to safely operate the vehicle. Operate this vehicle, equipped with the EVT–300 Collision Warning System, in the same The system warns of potentially dangerous situations by means of visual and audible alerts. The system per- forms in fog, rain, snow, dust, smoke, and darkness. To 3.31
