Important Safety Information About
Bendix ® Wingman ® Advanced ™
SECTION 1: GENERAL
The driver is always responsible for the control and safe operation
of the vehicle at all times. The Bendix ® Wingman ® Advanced ™
system does not replace the need for a skilled, alert professional
driver, reacting appropriately and in a timely manner, and using
safe driving practices.
Use cruise control only in the conditions that are normally
recommended for its use.
Setting the cruise control will also set the
adaptive cruise control with braking feature of the Bendix Wingman
Advanced system. It must never be used on roads where you can
not drive safely at a steady speed, including city streets, winding
roads and sharp curves, downhill grades, poor road conditions (such
as gravel or dirt), ice or wet surfaces (wet surfaces may increase the
risk of hydroplaning), or in fog, heavy rain or snowy conditions.
Also, the cruise control should not be used in inclement weather, in
dense traffi c, or where smaller vehicles–such as motorcycles–are
ahead in the same lane.
Always switch off the cruise control (by stepping on the brakes or
turning off the cruise control switch) when entering turning lanes,
entering or exiting highways, driving through construction zones, or
similar situations. See page 22 for more details.
Variations from this Manual – Vehicle manufacturers, and some
previous models of the Bendix Wingman Advanced system, may
use alerts, messages, and dash arrangements that vary from the
examples shown here. Consult the vehicle operator’s manual(s) for
applicable details regarding use and operation.
