VORAD SAFETY SYSTEM (Optional)
The following information and instructions
will brie fl y cover features and operations of the
VORAD (Vehicle Onboard RADar) system.
VORAD provides a series of audible and visual
alerts to assist the driver in avoiding collisions.
This system is designed as a driving aid and
is not a substitute for safe driving practices.
The driver is ultimately responsible for safe
operation of the motorhome.
INFORMATION:
Refer to the manufacturer’s manual
for more detail on the VORAD Safety
System.
AlwaysAlert:
The antenna assemblies located in the front
and sides of the motorhome transmit and
receive low power, high-frequency radar signals
to continuously monitor the road ahead. The
radar can detect moving objects up to 500 ft.
and stationary objects up to 220 ft. The Driver
Display indicates a yellow light at 3 seconds of
distance, an orange light at 2 seconds of distance
and a red light at or below 1 second of distance.
Audible warnings are issued when immediate
action is required to avoid an accident.
SmartCruise:
The VORAD system uses a radar signal
to maintain a safe cruise control distance by
automatically adjusting engine speed to match
following speed with traf
fi c fl ow. The system
engages the engine brake as required to maintain
safe distances and automatically returns to
cruise set speed when traf
fi c clears.
BlindSpotter:
Side sensors are located near side blind spot
areas to reduce lane change/merge collisions.
Side sensor warning lights are mounted on
the windshield vertical uprights, or “A”
pillar, within the same line of sight as the side
view mirrors. Yellow indicates the system is
functioning while red indicates an object is
detected.
Side Sensor Detection:
The side sensors can only detect objects
within range, generally as far as the adjoining
lane of travel. Stationary objects that maintain
a continuous presence, such as guard rails or
construction walls, may cause the red sensor
display indictor to illuminate.
WARNING:
The VORAD system cannot provide
additional warning for situations
including, but not limited to, pedestrians
or animals darting into the path of the
motorhome, head-on collisions involving
oncoming vehicles and intersection
cross-traffic. This system is not a
substitute for safe driving practices.
Side Sensors Display
The side sensor display includes two lights
(top and bottom) and a light sensor (middle)
located on the windshield A-Pillars.
Yellow (top) light indicates no obstacle
detected by the side sensor.
Red (bottom) light illuminates when
the side sensor detects an obstacle
within 12 ft. of the motorhome. When
the red light is on and the turn signal is
activated, a single audible warning is
issued when an object is detected.
The
ambient light sensor (middle)
measures surrounding light to adjust
brightness of the indicators for
maximum visibility.
VORAD Driver Display
The driver display contains all the
indicators related to the operation of the front
“AlwaysAlert” sensor system. The display is
mounted in the dashboard. A rocker switch,
located on the driver side console, controls
system functions. All indicators light up
when the ignition is turned ON. The green
“SmartCruise
®
” light remains ON following the
internal diagnostic check. The “SmartCruise”
light will remain ON until the
fi rst brake
application. The display operates in two modes:
Normal or Menu .
