EVT-300 Road Situations
WARNING: The EVT-300 Collision Warning system will not warn
of all possible hazards. Do not assume it is “all clear” if no warn-
ing signals are indicated. This system is intended solely as a
driver aid, and not to be relied upon to operate a vehicle. Use the
EVT-300 in conjunction with rear view mirrors and other instru-
mentation to maintain safe operation of the vehicle.
Certain road situations can affect the system’s ability to detect objects.
Curves, dips, and hills on the road in front of the vehicle can affect detection.
The radar system may sound a warning when it detects an object in front of
the vehicle even though the driver may be planning to turn away or stop prior
to reaching the object. The following examples illustrate some special road sit-
uations that must be taken into account.
Detecting Objects while Vehicle is in a Turn
Audible alarms will not sound with oncoming traffic during very sharp right or
left hand turns of less than 750 feet (228 m) radius.
