Limitations of Collision Warning Systems

The Bendix VORAD BackSpotter is intended solely as an aid for an alert and conscientious professional driver. It is not to be used or relied upon to operate a vehicle. The system should be used in conjunction with rear view mirrors and other instrumentation to maintain safe operation of the vehicle, ground personnel, and adjacent property. A vehicle equipped with the Bendix VORAD BackSpotter 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, such as drugs, alcohol, or fatigue. Should the system become inoperative, it could jeopardize the safety or lives of those who depend on the system for safety.
