Overview
OnGuard™ is the first commercial vehicle Collision Safety System with Active Braking. OnGuard can assists the driver in maintaining a safe following distance and helps avoid or reduce the impact of rear-end collisions by braking as needed. OnGuard uses forward-looking radar sensor technology featuring advanced algorithms to monitor the distance to the moving vehicle ahead. When OnGuard detects that a potential collision is developing, it sends audible and visual warnings through an in-cab dash display so the driver is alerted to take appropriate corrective action.
