Collision Warning System should be operated in the same 
safe manner as if  the system were not installed. The system is not a substitute for 
normal safe driving procedures. It will not compensate for any driver impairment,

do not place objects in front of the system sensor. Remove heavy buildups of 
mud, dirt, ice, and other materials.
Proper alignment is critical to correct operation of the system.
Testing and inspection of the system in accordance with these instructions

must be recorded in the maintenance log.
People operating this equipment MUST check for proper operation at the 
beginning of every shift or safety inspection period.
