IMPACT ALERT (IA)
The Impact Alert is the most severe warning issued
by the Wingman ACB system. This alert indicates that
a collision with the detected forward vehicle is likely
and the driver must immediately act to potentially
avoid, or lessen the severity of, a collision.
The Impact Alert is ready to alert the driver whenever
the vehicle is moving above 15 mph.
When activated, the IA will sound and a visual message/
icon typically appears on the dash screen or Bendix
® Driver
Interface Unit (DIU) display. The actual sound/display
method varies by vehicle manufacturer.
NOTE: The Impact Alert is typically accompanied by
automatic brake interventions. The Wingman ACB system
will apply up to two-thirds of your vehicle’s braking capacity.
The driver must apply additional braking, when necessary,
to maintain a safe distance from the vehicle ahead.
See Figure 7 for an example of an Impact Alert Icon.

FOLLOWING DISTANCE ALERT (FDA)
The Following Distance Alert (FDA) provides both
audible and visual alerts whenever the time between
your vehicle and the detected forward vehicle ahead
is less than the one and a half (1½) seconds* and
decreasing. Once the audible alert is given, the driver
should increase the
distance between
his/her vehicle and
the vehicle ahead
until the audible alert
stops.
The FDA is ready to alert
the driver whenever
the vehicle is moving
above fi ve (5) mph. If
the following distance
continues to decrease,
the driver will hear
more rapid audible
alerts. When the FDA
reaches its highest
level, typically a red
LED also illuminates
on the instrument
cluster. The FDA may
be accompanied by a
visual alert.
* 1.5 seconds is the
system default and may vary by fl eet/OEM.

manufacturer’s displays.

sizable, metallic (radar-re
fl ective), stationary object in
your lane of travel. This alert indicates that a collision
with a stationary object is likely and the driver must
immediately act to potentially avoid, or lessen the
severity of, a collision.
The SOA is ready to alert the driver whenever the vehicle
is moving above ten (10) mph.
