How Your Actions Impact the
Bendix
®
Wingman
®
ACB System
The following chart illustrates how the Bendix ® Wingman ® ACB system
will react to various actions you may initiate.
If you do this: Typical Wingman ACB system responses:
Step on the brake.
(During an ACB event.)
The driver is always in control and is able to apply
full braking force (assuming a properly maintained
vehicle).
Step 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.
Step on the brake.
(When in cruise.)
Cruise control will be cancelled.
Step 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.
Switch “ON” the cruise
control.
Nothing. The active cruise control with braking
feature will not engage until the driver sets the
cruise control speed.
Switch “OFF” the cruise
control.
The active cruise control with braking feature will
turn off; the collision mitigation feature remains
ready to intervene. The driver will continue to
hear all alerts as needed.
Set the cruise control
speed.
The active cruise control with braking feature
is automatically activated, and your vehicle
maintains set speed and following distance
behind the vehicle ahead.
Cover or block 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.
Use normal cruise
control “+/-” switch.
Vehicle speed increased (+) or reduced (-)
to achieve the new set speed while actively
maintaining the 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 represent examples of driver actions and typical Wingman ACB system
responses, however this chart does not attempt to cover all possible situations.
