CHASSIS
OnGuard ACTIVE’s Collision Mitigation System (CMS)
assists the driver in recognizing and responding to
dangerous driving scenarios that could lead to a
rear-end collision. The system responds by sending
warnings, automatically reducing engine torque and
applying foundation brakes. OnGuard ACTIVE’s CMS
provides both visual and audible alerts through an in-
cab dash display. If a potential collision is developing
and the driver does not take action to decelerate the
vehicle, OnGuard ACTIVE’s active braking feature issues
a haptic warning (short brake pulse) and automatically
de-throttles the engine. If a potential collision still exists,
and the driver still has not taken the appropriate action,
OnGuard ACTIVE’s CMS will apply the foundation
brakes. When OnGuard ACTIVE applies your vehicle’s
brakes, your brake lights will come on.
The active braking application is intended to assist
the driver to avoid or reduce the severity of a rear-end
collision. The driver must take the appropriate corrective
action in response to the collision warning. OnGuard
ACTIVE warnings will not be issued below a vehicle
speed of 15 mph.
Collision Mitigation System
Multiple factors can a
ff
ect set following intervals
and create additional driving considerations. When
operating a vehicle with the OnGuard ACTIVE Collision
Mitigation System, it is important to remember:
•
OnGuard ACTIVE should only be considered as an
aid and is not intended to replace driver control
over the vehicle at any time.
•
Like cruise control in general, ACC should not be
used when weather, road surface or conditions
require longer following intervals and your full
control over the speed of the vehicle. Such
conditions may include: snow, sleet, rain, fog, icing,
etc.
•
When operating your vehicle, always use safe
driving techniques. The driver is always the most
important element in safe vehicle operation.
•
OnGuard ACTIVE is only intended to assist reaction
and response time. OnGuard ACTIVE is not a
substitute for proper driver braking and should be
considered only as a driver assistance system.
Safe Vehicle Operation
The OnGuard ACTIVE CMS brakes for moving and
stationary objects located directly in front of your
vehicle and does not operate when your speed is less
than 15 mph or over 77 mph. Accordingly, OnGuard
ACTIVE:
•
Will not react and alert you to objects crossing in
front of you or oncoming tra
ffi
c.
•
Should not be relied on to track lead vehicles when
traveling through a severe curve or winding road.
•
Should not be relied upon to track smaller objects
(e.g. motorcycles, mopeds, bicycles, pedestrians,
etc.)
•
Should not be relied on to alert drivers to vehicles
in an adjacent lane.
Drivers should take into account the road conditions,
and any other factors they are encountering, as they
choose how to react to any alerts they receive from the
OnGuard ACTIVE system.

The OnGuard ACTIVE collision mitigation system
is engineered to prevent and/or mitigate as many
accidents as possible. Radar technology is not perfect;
in every system it is possible that an unintended
braking event may occur.
In the rare event that you experience a false alert, or
unintended braking event, you may experience the
following sequence of events:
•
Less than 0.4 seconds of braking.
•
The truck and trailer brake lights will illuminate.
•
Your OnGuard ACTIVE display screen will change
to a collision warning (red).
•
Your OnGuard ACTIVE display screen will change
to a collision warning (red) and issue a short
audible warning.
•
If you do not have ACC engaged, you can apply the
throttle and continue on your way.
•
If ACC is engaged, depending on your vehicle
configuration, you may have to simply reapply the
cruise control button or turn ACC o
ff
and back on
again. It is possible that you may lose the ability
to throttle the vehicle for a short time (couple of
seconds).
