Preventive Maintenance:
The Bendix
®
Wingman
®
Advanced ™ system is relatively maintenance free.
The key items to keep the system functioning properly include:
1. Keep the radar lens clean and free of obstructions.
2. Visually inspect for any damage to the bumper or the Bendix
®
Wingman
®
Advanced ™ cover, bracket or radar to ensure that the
alignment has not been compromised. Never use the radar unit
as a step.
3. Periodically check the radar alignment.
4. Perform appropriate inspections of the braking system as required
by the manufacturer to ensure brakes are in proper working order.
5. Ensure that the tires are properly infl ated and that adequate tread
is present.
When the Bendix ® Wingman ® Advanced ™ System Isn’t Working:
If the Bendix Wingman Advanced system has detected a problem,
depending on the vehicle manufacturer, there will typically be a
warning message on the dashboard display and a Diagnostic Trouble
Code (DTC) will be set. The system will determine, depending on
the type of problem detected, if the vehicle may continue to have
normal cruise control functions (without the benefi ts of the Wingman
Advanced system), or if all cruise control functions need to be disabled
until servicing is carried out. The system should be serviced as soon
as possible to restore full functionality.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Are automatic foundation brake interventions always ready to
intervene?
Yes. The Wingman Advanced system will alert the driver and activate
the foundation brakes when a collision with a detected forward
vehicle is likely. The Bendix Wingman Advanced system does not
replace the need for the driver to remain alert, react appropriately
and in a timely manner, and use safe driving practices.
2. Are the three driver alerts always available?
Yes. All three driver alerts (Impact Alert, Following Distance Alert and
Stationary Object Alert) are always ready to alert the driver regardless
of whether or not cruise control is operating, unless a DTC is set.
