Improvements over the first generation system include an integrated dual
radar receiver and a visual range indicator. The dual radar design extends
the sensing range to 16 feet, while broadening the critical coverage areas
immediately behind the corners of the vehicle. This improvement enables
Forewarn(R) to be three-times more responsive than conventional offerings.
"With the growing need for driver assistance and our leading technology
for improving vehicle safety, Delphi's proud to bring consumers its next
generation Forewarn(R) Back-Up Aid system," said Joseph A. Damato, director of
Consumer Electronics, Delphi Product & Service Solutions. "We believe that by
offering Forewarn direct to the retail market, we give today's consumers a
safety solution at an affordable price. "
The system easily mounts to a 2-inch trailer hitch, which comes as
standard equipment on many SUVs, Pick-Ups and Recreational Vehicles. The
visual indicator can be mounted in the rear of the vehicle and used in concert
with the system's audible alerts to further assist the driver. Designed with
a stylish cover, Delphi's next generation back-up system can be self-
installed, requiring no modification on the bumper or chassis of the vehicle.
The Delphi next generation Forewarn back-up aid will be available at
select national retailers this year at a retail price of $349.
