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 VORAD
®
equipped vehicle in the same safe manner

The Eaton
®
VORAD
®
Collision Warning
System is not a substitute for safe driving
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
pedestrians, 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 vehicle accident resulting in
severe personal injury or death.
If your vehicle is equipped with the Eaton
®
VORAD
®
Collision Warning System, read the
manufacturer’s Driver Reference Manual before taking the vehicle on the road.
