the driver of the vehicle via optical and acoustic signals when the vehicle is too close to a
stationary or moving object. The steering system of the vehicle is not overridden.

in manned forklift trucks or other
industrial trucks with electric motors (UL-583) or combustion engines (UL-558).
By using the retrofittable stand-alone solution, accidents and damage can be reduced
while drivers can concentrate on their current tasks.

Intended use also includes observance of this system description, in particular the
safety notes as well as the repair and maintenance requirements.

to the applicable safety standards for machines. The system therefore does not
comply with safety standards.

At all times the driver bears the full responsibility for safe operation, in particular for
people who are in the hazardous zones of the vehicle.
