Bendix ® Wingman ® Advanced ™ (FLR20 ™ Sensor)
SD-61-4960
DESCRIPTION
The Bendix ® Wingman ® Advanced ™ system is an integrated
combination of three features:
• Adaptive cruise control with braking;
• Alerts (several different types); and
• Collision mitigation technology.
PART ONE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE
CONTROL WITH BRAKING
The adaptive cruise control with braking feature is an
additional upgrade of ordinary cruise control. When using
cruise control, the Wingman Advanced system will maintain
the set speed, and also will intervene, as needed, to help
maintain a set following distance behind a detected forward
vehicle.
Using a radar sensor mounted to the front of the vehicle
— with a range of approximately 500 feet — the Wingman
Advanced system reacts to detected forward vehicles in the
same lane, traveling in the same direction.
See Figure 1.
The adaptive cruise control with braking feature is designed
to help the driver maintain a set following distance between
his vehicle and a detected forward vehicle when cruise
control is set.
See the gray "Radar Beam" area in Figure 2.
Once cruise control is set and the system is maintaining a
set following distance between you and the vehicle in front:
WARNING
Improper use of the Bendix ® Wingman ® Advanced ™
system can result in a collision causing property
damage, serious injuries, or death.
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.

The GRAY area approximates the zone where the
Wingman Advanced system – when cruise control
is set – is ready to intervene with up to one-third
of the vehicle’s braking capacity, if needed.
The STRIPED area approximates the zone
where the collision mitigation feature is ready to
intervene with up to two-thirds of the vehicle’s
braking capacity, if needed, as long as the
vehicle is traveling above 15 mph.
