Bendix Commercial Vehicle Systems VORAD EVT-300 DRIVER INSTRUCTIONS - Manual (Page 20)

Initial Start-Up

Bendix ™ VORAD ® EVT-300 ™ System Start-Up
WARNING: Be sure the vehicle is not moving during the initial self-test
conducted at vehicle start-up. If the vehicle is in motion, the system
may not operate properly. No collision warning system alerts will be
given by the EVT-300 system until all lights are extinguished after the
self-test is complete.
1. The EVT-300 system powers up when turning the vehicle ignition key to the run
position. All Driver Display Unit and Side Sensor indicator lights will illuminate
and stay on until the self-test is complete.
2. If the green “ON” indicator is fl ashing, insert the Driver Identifi cation Card (see
page 15) into the Driver Display Unit so the system can identify the driver of the
vehicle.
3. If the green “S/C” (Bendix ™ SmartCruise ® ) light fl ashes eight (8) times after
the self-test is completed, an accident reconstruction event has been stored
in the system memory. The light will continue to fl ash eight (8) times during
every start-up until the event is cleared. Notify your management to assist you
with this procedure. If the event has been stored in error, the system software
should clear the system in 30 days.
4. If the “FAIL” indicator light (or headway control failure) illuminates and stays on
after the self-test or while driving, a component or system failure has occurred.
This may render the Bendix
™ VORAD ® system inoperable. If the Bendix ™
SmartCruise ® option is enabled and a failure occurs, the SmartCruise system
will no longer function (see page 25) until the fault has been corrected and the
ignition switch has been turned OFF and then back ON. Collision warning lights
and tones may still work correctly when the SmartCruise system failures occur
that are brought on by a component or system failure.
