1.05 HOW A DRIVER INTERACTS WITH BENDIX ® WINGMAN ® ACB
Table 2 illustrates how the Wingman ACB system will respond to various actions a driver may take when using Wingman
ACB system on the road.
The driver is always responsible for the control and safe
operation of the vehicle at all times. The Bendix Wingman
ACB system does not replace the need for a skilled, alert
professional driver, reacting appropriately and in a timely
manner, and using safe driving practices.
How a Driver Interacts with Bendix ® Wingman ® ACB (1.05)
Action Reaction of Wingman ACB
If the driver does this: Expect the Wingman ACB system to do this:
Steps on the brake.
(During an ACB event.)
The driver is always in control and is able to apply full braking power.
Steps aggressively on the
accelerator. (During an
ACB event.)
The driver is always in control. His/her actions override any Wingman ACB system
actions. Note: If cruise control is engaged, it will be overridden until the accelerator
is released; then cruise control will resume the original set speed automatically.
Steps on the brake. (When
in cruise.)
Cruise control will be cancelled.
Steps on the accelerator.
(When in cruise.)
Cruise control will be overridden until the accelerator is released; then cruise control
will resume the original set speed automatically.
Switches on the cruise
control.
Nothing. The active cruise with braking feature will not engage until the driver sets
the cruise control speed.
Switches off the cruise
control.
The active cruise with braking feature will turn off; the collision mitigation feature
remains active and ready to intervene. The driver will continue to hear all alerts as
needed.
Sets the cruise control
speed.
The active cruise with braking feature is automatically activated. Your vehicle
maintains a set speed and following distance behind the vehicle ahead.
Covers or blocks the radar.
The Wingman ACB system performance will be diminished or even disabled and a
Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) will be set. A blockage will also affect engine cruise
control availability.
Uses normal cruise control
“+/-” switch.
Vehicle speed increased (+) or reduced (-) to achieve the new set speed while
actively maintaining following distance with the vehicle ahead, if one is present within
500 feet.
NOTE: The system responses above are typical, but may vary from the descriptions shown here by vehicle manufacturer,
or earlier versions of the Wingman ACB system. These are examples of driver actions and typical Wingman ACB
system responses, however this chart does not attempt to cover all possible situations.
