The system unites the MICO 691 Brake Lock and the PreView radar object detection system from Preco Electronics, Inc. to automatically intervene on the operator's behalf, rather than simply providing a warning.
The system is initiated once an equipped vehicle is shifted into reverse. The radar detects both stationary and moving objects within the cone of the radar signal. For vehicles with a larger area outside of the operator's view, multiple radar sensors can be networked into one system.

An onboard display module provides both visible and audible indication to the operator when an object is identified by radar at distances up to 26 ft. A series of five lights illuminate on the display module as the alarm tone and tempo vary to alert the operator of the closing proximity to the object. The system automatically applies the 691 Brake Lock at a predetermined distance to prevent a collision with the object. For situations that require maneuvering a vehicle closer to the detected object, a manual release button will allow the operator to momentarily unlock the brakes.
