SMARTWITNESS AP1 USER GUIDE
DISCLAIMER
The AP1 is not a substitute for a safe, conscientious
driver. The AP1 cannot compensate for a driver who is
distracted, inattentive or impaired by fatigue, drugs or
alcohol. Whether or not the AP1 is in use, it is always
the driver’s responsibility to take appropriate corrective
action. It does not eliminate or decrease the need for
a driver to stay alert and to obey all traffic laws while
operating a vehicle. Never wait for the device to provide
a warning before taking measures to avoid an accident.
Failure to do so can result in serious personal injury or
death or severe property damage.
Always, it is the driver’s responsibility to:
• Use safe driving techniques
• Exercise proper judgment
• Maintain a safe speed and distance between vehicles
• Take measures to avoid an accident
• Comply with all applicable laws and regulations
The driver and front passenger must always be correctly
seated with seat belts fastened when operating the
vehicle to reduce the potential danger of injuries.
OPERATIONAL CONCERNS
In certain conditions, including inclement weather,
low visibility and certain road conditions (including poor
lane markings, construction zones, dirt roads, heavy
or complicated traffic, and curvy and winding roads),
the AP1 may have limited to no functionality. The AP1
may not detect certain objects such as motorcyclists,
bicyclists or pedestrians even in the most ideal
conditions. Always keep the lens and view of the AP1
unobstructed and properly calibrated so as not to
inhibit function. Driving in certain conditions or any
interference with the AP1 can result in false, few or no
warnings. The driver must always monitor traffic and
surroundings and take measures to avoid an accident;
failure to do so can result in serious personal injury or
death or severe property damage.
If the AP1 is not functioning properly at any time, please
contact your distributor or visit
and have the device inspected immediately to correct
the issue. Whether or not the AP1 is functioning, it is the
driver’s responsibility to maintain vehicle control; failure
to do so can result in serious personal injury or death or
severe property damage.
CLEANING ADVISORY
While cleaning the device or the vehicle cab, do not
apply compressed air or cleaning solutions (such as
Windex) to the AP1 device. Usage of these products
may cause damage to the device.
