The system should never be relied upon to stop your vehicle or to
avoid a collision. You can, and should, still apply full braking force, if
needed.
Metallic Objects May Impair the Radar – Objects that are radar-
reflective – such as crash barriers, guard rails, construction zone
barricades, and tunnel entrances – may impair the function of the radar.
Approach grades as you would normally, with the appropriate gear
selected and at a safe speed. Cruise control should NOT be used on
steep downhill grades.
Inspect the radar and mounting bracket regularly and remove and mud,
snow, ice build-up, or other obstructions. Installing aftermarket deer
guards is not recommended and could impair the operation of the radar.
If the bumper and/or radar are damaged or misaligned – or if the radar
was tampered with – do not use the cruise control until the vehicle is
repaired and the radar is re-aligned.
If a problem is detected with the Bendix
Fusion
system, there is an
®
™
audible alert and/or icon on the Bendix
Driver Interface Unit (DIU
) or
®
™
the dash display. Depending on the type of problem, the system may
disable cruise control functions until service is performed.
Smaller forward vehicles, such as motorcycles, may be difficult for the
radar to identify. As the driver, it is your responsibility to be aware of
this type of vehicle and to be cautious.
