DRIVER WARNINGS

Before using the ACB, the driver should fully
understand all the audible and visual warnings that
the system provides. Any audible warning (beeping
or tone) means that your vehicle is too close from the
vehicle ahead.

the forward vehicle is detected (in range) by the
radar, the FORWARD VEHICLE DETECTED

an indication to the driver that the forward vehicle is
being tracked, that the ACB is actively managing the
distance between the coach and the vehicle ahead
and that the ACB system may automatically
intervene to maintain the set following distance.
