The Bendix ® Wingman ® ACB system reacts ONLY to vehicles
moving in the same direction as your vehicle. The Wingman
ACB system DOES NOT respond to side-to-side moving traffic,
or oncoming traffic. The system WILL NOT slow your vehicle or
provide an alert as you approach vehicles in these circumstances.

® Wingman ® ACB
When the Wingman ACB system needs to intervene, it works in
conjunction with the Bendix ® ESP ® full stability system to engage
the brakes. The system should never be relied upon to stop your
vehicle or to avoid a collision. The driver can, and should, still apply
full braking force, if needed.
SECTION 2: DRIVER ALERTS & WARNINGS
Driver Alerts and Warnings – Before driving with Wingman ACB,
the driver should fully understand all the audible alerts and visual
indicators that the system provides. This booklet will assist in
explaining what each of them means.
Any audible and/or visual
alert by the system means that your vehicle is too close to the
vehicle ahead and the driver must immediately act to potentially
avoid — or lessen the severity of — a collision.
The Impact Alert (IA) is the most severe alert issued by the
Wingman ACB system. This alert indicates that a collision with the
detected forward vehicle is likely and the driver must immediately
act to potentially avoid — or lessen the severity of — a collision.
The Impact Alert is ready to alert the driver whenever the vehicle is
moving above 15 mph (24 km/h).
When activated, the IA will sound and a visual message/icon
typically appears on the dash screen or Bendix
® Driver Interface Unit
(DIU) display. The actual sound/display method varies by vehicle
manufacturer.
