Bendix Commercial Vehicle Systems WINGMAN ADVANCED OPERATORS MANUAL - Manual (Page 14)

NOTE: Cruise control will automatically cancel whenever the Bendix ®
Wingman ® Advanced ™ system applies the foundation brakes. You can
verify the system is disengaged by observing that the cruise-enabled
icon is no longer illuminated. You must resume or set cruise control in
order to regain normal cruise control functionality and to reengage the
adaptive cruise control with braking feature of the Wingman Advanced
system.
The Forward Detected Vehicle Icon
When cruise control is switched on and set, and a vehicle ahead of you is
detected by the radar, the forward detected vehicle icon (or similar) on
the vehicle dashboard will illuminate.
This is an indication to the driver that the Wingman
Advanced system is actively managing the distance
between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead, and that the
system may automatically intervene.
Adjusting the Cruise Control Speed
Use the switch(es) provided by the vehicle manufacturer to set your cruise
control speed. When adjusted, your set speed will typically be indicated
on the vehicle dash, message center, or speedometer, etc.
What is Following Distance?
Following distance refers to the time gap – measured in seconds –
between the vehicle with Wingman ACB and the vehicle ahead. The
actual physical distance between the two will vary based on the speeds
of both vehicles; however, the set gap will remain the same for all set
cruise speeds.
Advanced Collision Mitigation Feature Operation
Whenever the vehicle is traveling above 15 mph, the Wingman Advanced
collision mitigation feature is ready to intervene, if needed. It does
not require cruise control to be set. The collision mitigation feature of
Wingman Advanced will automatically alert you and apply up to two-
thirds of the vehicle’s braking capacity, if a collision with the detected
forward vehicle is likely to occur. You, the driver, must immediately act
to potentially avoid, or lessen the severity of, a collision.
Automatic Foundation Brake Applications
The vehicle automatically manages foundation braking priorities among
the various vehicle systems that use the foundation brakes, such as
Wingman Advanced, Bendix
® ESP ® (Electronic Stability Program), Bendix ®
ATC (Automatic Traction Control), and the Bendix ® ABS (Antilock Braking
System).
