OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Stationary Object Alert (SOA)
• Typically available above 16km/h
The Fusion system will give up to three (3) seconds alert to you when
approaching a detected, sizable, stationary object with metallic (radar-
reflective) surfaces in your lane of travel.
This alert indicates that a
collision with a stationary object is likely and you must immediately act to
potentially avoid, or lessen the severity of, a collision.
Typically, the SOA is ready to alert you whenever the vehicle is moving
above 16km/h, but some fleets may select higher minimum speeds.
Due to the inherent limitations of radar technology, the Stationary
Object Alert System may alert in response to stationary objects not
in the vehicle lane of travel.
These objects may include bridges, signs, parked vehicles, and traffic lights.
Braking or throttle intervention will not occur in response to stationary
objects. As the driver, you remain responsible for safely controlling the
vehicle at all times by appropriately applying the brakes, steering, or
throttle as needed.
You should be especially careful when approaching certain types of vehicles
and objects. The Wingman Fusion radar may not be able to detect objects
with limited metal surfaces (such as recreational vehicles, horse-drawn
buggies, motorcycles, logging trailers, etc.).
