Bendix Commercial Vehicle Systems WINGMAN ADVANCED SD - Manual (Page 2)

Once cruise control is set and the system is maintaining a
set following distance between you and the vehicle in front:
If the vehicle in front of you slows down below the cruise
control’s set speed, the Bendix
® Wingman ® Advanced ™
system will intervene and, as necessary, in this order:
(a) reduce the engine throttle, then
(b) apply the engine retarder, then
(c) apply the foundation brakes,
in an attempt to maintain the set following distance behind
the vehicle ahead. NOTE: If during the intervention, it is
necessary to apply the foundation brakes, the vehicle will
not automatically resume the cruise control set speed.
If the vehicle ahead slows below the cruise control’s set
speed, but then accelerates away, and the Wingman
Advanced system did not need to use the foundation
brakes, the system will automatically accelerate back to the
original cruise control set speed, and again maintain a set
following distance behind any detected forward vehicles.
Because the Wingman Advanced system operates along
with normal cruise control, all the typical features built
into cruise control work as usual. For example, limits
imposed by factory-set road speed governors, etc. are fully
supported by the Wingman Advanced system.
PART TWO: ALERTS
Bendix Wingman Advanced also assists by giving audible
and visual alerts, whether or not cruise control is on. See
Pages 8-10 for more information on the three types of alerts
the driver may hear and/or see displayed.
PART THREE: COLLISION
MITIGATION TECHNOLOGY
See the striped area in Figure 1.
Wingman Advanced’s
collision mitigation technology is designed to be ready to
react to the presence of moving vehicles in front of your
vehicle (whether or not cruise control is set). Collision
mitigation interventions can be up to two-thirds of the
vehicle’s braking capacity. The system provides the driver
with an alert before an intervention occurs. The driver must
immediately act to potentially avoid, or lessen the severity
of, a collision.
