Additional Operational Notes
Adjusting the Alert Volume
The Bendix ® Wingman ® ACB audible alerts are pre-set at the factory for
fully integrated systems and can not be turned off by the driver, nor can
the volume be adjusted, unless configured to do so. For systems using a
Driver Interface Unit (DIU) display, see the Service Data Sheet (SD-13-4962)
for information about volume adjustment.
Passing a Vehicle/Changing Lanes
With cruise control set, if the driver decides to 1) pass a vehicle by applying
the throttle; or 2) change lanes the vehicle being passed will no longer
be detected by the radar.
When No Other Vehicles are Present
When no forward vehicle is within range of the radar, your vehicle will
maintain its set speed just like ordinary cruise control.
Radar-Reflective Stationary Vehicles & Objects
The driver should be attentive to stopped vehicles and objects on the
roadway.
The Bendix ® Wingman ® ACB system will give up to three (3)
seconds alert time to the driver when approaching a detected,
sizable, stationary object with metallic (radar-reflective) surfaces
in your lane of travel.
The SOA is ready to alert the driver whenever the vehicle is moving
above 10 mph (16 km/h).
The SOA is an alert only. No intervention
actions (such as de-throttling, engaging the engine retarder or
applying the brakes) will be taken. 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.
Other Metallic Objects – Other objects that the radar may detect
in, or close to, the vehicle’s path (such as crash barriers, guard rails,
construction zone barricades, tunnel entrances, etc) may impair the
function of the radar.
