The GRAY area approximates
the zone where the Wingman
Advanced system – when cruise
control is set – is ready to
intervene with up to one-third of
the vehicle’s braking capacity, if
needed. The STRIPED area approximates
the zone where the collision
mitigation feature is ready to
intervene with up to two-thirds
of the vehicle’s braking capacity,
if needed, as long as the vehicle
is traveling above 15 mph.
What Features are Included in the
Bendix Wingman Advanced system?
Part One: Adaptive Cruise Control with Braking
Think of the adaptive cruise control with braking feature as an additional
upgrade to ordinary cruise control. When using cruise control, your vehicle
not only will maintain the set speed, but the system also will intervene,
as needed, to help maintain a set following distance behind the vehicle
in front of you.
Using a radar (with a range of approximately 500 feet) mounted to the
front of your vehicle, the Wingman Advanced system reacts ONLY to
vehicles moving in the same direction as you. (The system DOES NOT
respond to side-to-side moving traffi c or oncoming traffi c.)
See the GRAY area in the diagram above. The adaptive cruise control
with braking feature is designed to help maintain a set following distance
between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead when cruise control is set.
