must follow exactly to avoid damage to components.

WARNING
If the OnGuard™ CMS is not correctly tracking vehicles that
are in your lane or is tracking vehicles that are not in your lane,
the radar may not be aligned correctly. If this occurs,
immediately have the OnGuard™ CMS radar inspected and
corrected as needed. Refer to the Radar Sensor Service
Alignment procedure. Whether or not the radar is working
correctly, it is the driver’s responsibility to be aware of vehicles
in front of the driver’s vehicle and apply the brakes when
necessary to maintain vehicle control. Failure to do so can
result in serious personal injury or death, and/or severe
property damage.
WARNING
If OnGuard™ CMS is not providing alerts as expected,
immediately have the OnGuard™ CMS inspected to correct the
issue. Whether or not the radar is working correctly, it is the
driver’s responsibility to apply the brakes when necessary to
maintain vehicle control. Failure to do so can result in serious
personal injury or death, and/or severe property damage.
WARNING
In order to reduce the potential danger of injuries caused
during OnGuard™ activated vehicle decelerations, the driver
and front passenger must always be correctly seated and with
seat belts correctly fastened when operating the vehicle.
Additionally, the driver should secure all loose items in the cab
so that they will not fly forward during a full brake application.

1 Introduction
developing and the driver does not take action to decelerate the
vehicle, OnGuard™’s active braking feature issues a haptic warning
(short brake pulse) and automatically de-throttles the engine.
If a potential rear-end collision still exists, and the driver has not
taken the appropriate action, OnGuard™’s CMS will apply the
foundation brakes to provide up to 50% of available braking power.
When OnGuard™ activates the vehicle’s brakes, the brake lights
will come on.
The active braking application is intended to assist the driver to 4010334a

appropriate corrective action in response to the collision warning. Figure 1.1

equipped.
ACC is a radar-based tracking system that works in conjunction with
standard Cruise Control to maintain the set cruise speed when no
vehicle is being tracked and maintains a safe following distance
when a lead vehicle is being tracked. The safe following distance is
maintained by controlling engine throttle, engine retarder and the
foundation brakes as necessary. This automatic brake application is
intended only to provide early braking until the driver is recognizing
4010335a and reacting to the situation (the driver must also apply the brakes in
response to the Collision Warning).
