SECTION 1: GENERAL
The driver is always responsible for the control and safe operation
of the vehicle at all times. The Bendix ® Wingman ® ACB system
does not replace the need for a skilled, alert professional driver,
reacting appropriately and in a timely manner, and using safe
driving practices.
Use cruise control only in the conditions that are normally
recommended for its use.
Setting the cruise control will also set the active cruise control with
braking feature of the Bendix Wingman ACB system. It must never
be used on roads where you can not drive safely at a steady speed,
including city streets, winding roads and sharp curves, downhill
grades, poor road conditions (such as gravel or dirt), ice or wet
surfaces (wet surfaces may increase the risk of hydroplaning), or in
fog, heavy rain or snowy conditions.
Also, the cruise control should not be used in inclement weather;
dense traffic or where smaller vehicles – such as motorcycles – are
ahead in the same lane.
Always switch off the cruise control (by stepping on the brakes or
turning off the cruise control switch) when entering turning lanes,
entering or exiting highways, driving through construction zones, or
similar situations. See page 23 for more details.
Variations from this Manual – Vehicle manufacturers, and some
previous models of the Bendix Wingman ACB system, may use alerts,
messages, and dash arrangements that vary from the examples
shown here. Consult the vehicle operator’s manual(s) for applicable
details regarding use and operation.
