How Your Actions Impact the
Bendix ® Wingman ® Advanced ™ System
The following chart illustrates how the Wingman Advanced system will
react to various actions you may initiate.
Action: Reaction of Wingman Advanced:
If the driver does this: Expect the Wingman Advanced system to do this:
Steps on the brake.
(During a collision
mitigation event) The driver is always in control and is able to apply
full braking power.
Steps aggressively on
the accelerator. (During
a collision mitigation
event.) The driver is always in control. His/her actions
override any Wingman Advanced system actions.
Note: If cruise control is engaged, it will be
overridden until the accelerator is released; then
cruise control will resume the original set speed
automatically.
Steps on the brake.
(When in cruise.) Cruise control will be cancelled.
Steps on the
accelerator. (When in
cruise.) Cruise control will be overridden until the
accelerator is released; then cruise control will
resume the original set speed automatically.
Switches on the cruise
control. Nothing. The adaptive cruise control with braking
feature will not engage until the driver sets the
cruise control speed.
Switches off the cruise
control. The adaptive cruise control with braking feature
will turn off; the collision mitigation feature
remains active and ready to intervene. The driver
will continue to hear all alerts as needed.
Sets the cruise control
speed. The adaptive cruise control with braking feature
is automatically activated, and your vehicle
maintains set speed and following distance
behind the vehicle ahead.
Covers or blocks the
radar. The Wingman Advanced system performance will
be diminished or even disabled and a Diagnostic
Trouble Code (DTC) will be set. A blockage will
also affect engine cruise control availability.
Use normal cruise
control “+/-” switch. Vehicle speed increased (+) or reduced (-)
to achieve the new set speed while actively
maintaining the following distance with the
vehicle ahead, if one is present within 500 feet.
NOTE: The system responses above are typical, but may vary from the descriptions
shown here by vehicle manufacturer, or earlier versions of the Wingman Advanced
system. These represent examples of driver actions and typical Wingman
Advanced system responses, however this chart does not attempt to cover all
possible situations.
