Normal Operation
As the Bendix
 VORAD
®
-equipped vehicle approaches a target 
vehicle in the same line, the VORAD-equipped vehicle will slow to the 
speed of the other vehicle and maintain the set following distance 
interval at their speed. The speed reduction may be accomplished 
by the engine ECM (Engine Control Module) issuing a command to 
reduce fuel, and engaging the engine retarder.
WARNING: If your vehicle speed and the forward vehicle speed are 
drastically different, the driver may need to apply the service brakes 
to maintain a safe distance. As with cruise control, the SmartCruise 
system must be reset after brakes have been applied.
WARNING: If another vehicle in an adjacent lane cuts in front and 
continues to the opposite lane, the SmartCruise system may not 
respond.
