The

 

Bendix

 

Wingman

 

Advanced

 

Collision

 

Avoidance

 

Radar

 

System

 

consists

 

of

 

the

 

following

 

features

 

 

Adaptive

 

Cruise

 

Control

 

with

 

Braking

 

Adaptive

 

Cruise

 

Control

 

with

 

Braking

 

is

 

an

 

additional

 

upgrade

 

to

 

ordinary

 

cruise

 

control,

 

designed

 

to

 

help

 

the

 

Driver

 

maintain

 

a

 

set

 

following

 

distance

 

between

 

the

 

Driver’s

 

vehicle

 

and

 

a

 

detected

 

forward

 

vehicle,

 

when

 

cruise

 

control

 

is

 

set.

 

The

 

feature

 

will

 

maintain

 

the

 

set

 

speed,

 

and

 

will

 

also

 

intervene,

 

as

 

needed,

 

to

 

help

 

maintain

 

a

 

set

 

following

 

distance

 

behind

 

a

 

detected

 

forward

 

vehicle.

 

In

 

order

 

to

 

maintain

 

a

 

set

 

following

 

distance,

 

the

 

system

 

will

 

intervene

 

in

 

the

 

following

 

order;

 

reducing

 

the

 

engine

 

throttle,

 

engaging

 

the

 

engine

 

retarder

 

and

 

applying

 

the

 

foundation

 

brakes.

 

 

Alerts

  

Bendix

 

Wingman

 

Advanced

 

assists

 

by

 

giving

 

audible

 

and

 

visual

 

alerts,

 

whether

 

or

 

not

 

cruise

 

control

 

is

 

on.

 

Three

 

important

 

alerts

 

provided

 

are:

 

Following

 

Distance

 

Alert

 

(FDA)

 ‐

 

audible

 

and

 

visual

 

alerts

 

which

 

let

 

Driver

 

know

 

when

 

getting

 

too

 

close

 

to

 

forward

 

vehicle.

 

Impact

 

Alert

 

(IA)

 

 

audible

 

and

 

visual

 

alerts

 

warning

 

the

 

Driver

 

that

 

a

 

collision

 

with

 

the

 

forward

 

vehicle

 

is

 

likely

 

and

 

that

 

they

 

should

 

address

 

the

 

situation

 

immediately.

  

 

.

 

Stationary

 

Object

 

Alerts

 

(SOA)

 

‐ 

audible

 

and

 

visual

 

alerts

 

that

 

provide

 

the

 

Driver

 

up

 

to

 

a

 

3.0

 

second

 

alert

 

when

 

a

 

metallic

 

object(s)

 

may

 

be

 

blocking

 

lane

 

of

 

travel.

 

 

Collision

 

Mitigation

 

Technology

 

Collision

 

Mitigation

 

Technology

 

is

 

designed

 

to

 

be

 

ready

 

to

 

react

 

to

 

the

 

presence

 

of

 

moving

 

vehicles

 

in

 

front

 

of

 

your

 

vehicle,

 

whether

 

or

 

not

 

cruise

 

control

 

is

 

set.

 

Collision

 

mitigation

 

provides

 

the

 

Driver

 

with

 

an

 

alert

 

before

 

an

 

intervention

 

occurs,

 

and

 

applies

 

the

 

brakes

 

when

 

the

 

system

 

determines

 

a

 

collision

 

with

 

forward

 

vehicle

 

is

 

imminent.

  

The

 

Driver

 

must

 

immediately

 

act

 

to

 

potentially

 

avoid,

 

or

 

lessen

 

the

 

severity

 

of

 

a

 

collision.

 

(Vehicle

 

must

 

be

 

travelling

 

above

 

15

 

mph)

 

 
 

Operating

 

Cruise

 

Modes

 

 

Cruise

 

Control

 

Not

 

Set:

 

Your

 

vehicle

 

operates

 

as

 

usual

 

when

 

the

 

Adaptive

 

Cruise

 

Control

 

with

 

Braking

 

is

 

not

 

set.

 

The

 

collision

 

mitigation

 

feature

 

remains

 

active

 

and

 

ready

 

to

 

intervene.

 

The

 

Driver

 

will

 

continue

 

to

 

hear

 

all

 

alerts

 

and

 

warnings

 

as

 

needed.

 

 

Cruise

 

Control

 

Set:

 

Accelerate

 

your

 

vehicle

 

to

 

the

 

cruise

 

control

 

speed

 

you

 

wish

 

to

 

maintain,

 

then

 

press

 

the

 

cruise

 

control

 

set

 

switch.

 

The

 

adaptive

 

cruise

 

control

 

with

 

braking

 

feature

 

is

 

now

 

ready

 

and

 

will

 

help

 

you

 

maintain

 

a

 

set

 

following

 

distance.

 

Once

 

the

 

cruise

 

control

 

speed

 

is

 

set,

 

a

 

green

 

cruise

enabled

 

icon

 

(or

 

similar)

 

will

 

illuminate

 

on

 

the

 

instrument

 

panel.

 

If

 

the

 

green

 

cruise

enabled

 

(or

 

similar)

 

icon

 

does

 

not

 

illuminate,

 

the

 

cruise

 

control

 

is

 

not

 

functioning

 

normally,

 

and

 

the

 

problem

 

will

 

need

 

to

 

be

 

noted

 

on

 

your

 

DVIR

 

and

 

a

 

repair

 

appointment

 

booked

 

with

 

Bison

 

Maintenance.

 

 
 

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

 

Bendix

 

Wingman

 

Advanced

 

System

 

is

 

actively

 

managing

 

the

 

distance

 

between

 

your

 

vehicle

 

and

 

the

 

vehicle

 

ahead,

 

and

 

that

 

the

 

system

 

may

 

automatically

 

intervene.

 

 

Note: 

 

Whenever

 

the

 

cruise

 

control

 

is

 

set,

 

the

 

Adaptive

 

Cruise

 

Control

 

with

 

Braking

 

feature

 

is

 

also

 

set.

 

You

 

cannot

 

engage

 

cruise

 

control

 

without

 

also

 

using

 

all

 

the

 

features

 

of

 

the

 

Bendix

 

Wingman

 

Advanced

 

System.

 

 

The

 

Driver

 

can

 

switch

 

the

 

adaptive

 

cruise

 

control

 

with

 

braking

 

feature

 

off

 

manually

 

by

 

either

 

stepping

 

on

 

the

 

brake,

 

or

 

switching

 

OFF

 

the

 

cruise

 

control.

 

 

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

 

Bendix

 

Wingman

 

Advanced

 

System.
