Bendix Commercial Vehicle Systems WINGMAN ACB - Manual (Page 27)

Preventive Maintenance:
The Bendix ® Wingman ® ACB system is relatively maintenance free. The
key items to keep the system functioning properly include:
1. Keep the radar lens clean and free of obstructions.
2. Inspect for any damage to the bumper or the Bendix Wingman ACB
cover, bracket, or radar to ensure that the alignment has not been
compromised. Never use the radar unit as a step.
3. Periodically check the radar alignment.
4. Perform appropriate inspections of the braking system as required
by the manufacturer to ensure brakes are in proper working order.
5. Ensure that the tires are properly inflated and that adequate tread
is present.
When the Bendix ® Wingman ® ACB System Isn’t Working:
If the Bendix Wingman ACB system has detected a problem, depending
on the vehicle manufacturer, there will typically be a warning message
on the dashboard display and a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) will be
set. The system will determine, depending on the type of problem
detected, if the vehicle may continue to have normal cruise control
functions (without the benefits of the Wingman ACB system), or if all
cruise control functions need to be disabled until servicing is carried
out. The system should be serviced as soon as possible to restore full
functionality.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Are automatic foundation brake interventions always ready to
intervene?
No. The Wingman ACB system will only activate the foundation
brakes when cruise control is set. The Wingman ACB system does
not replace the need for the driver to remain alert, react appropriately
and in a timely manner, and use safe driving practices.
2. Are the three driver alerts always ready?
Yes. All three driver alerts (Impact Alert, Following Distance Alert,
and Stationary Object Alert) are always ready to alert the driver —
regardless of whether or not cruise control is operating — unless a
DTC is set.
