THE FORWARD VEHICLE DETECTED ICON
When cruise control is switched on and set and a vehicle
ahead of you is detected by the radar, the detected forward
vehicle icon — or similar — will illuminate on the vehicle
dashboard.
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 may
intervene automatically, if needed.
See Figure 6 for examples.

ADJUSTING THE CRUISE CONTROL SPEED
Use the switch(es) provided by the vehicle manufacturer
to set your cruise control speed. When adjusted, your
set speed will typically be indicated on the vehicle dash,
message center, or speedometer.
1.6 FOLLOWING DISTANCE
Following distance refers to the time gap, measured in
seconds, between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead. The
actual physical distance between the two will vary based
on the speeds of both vehicles; however, the set gap will
remain the same for all set cruise speeds.
FOLLOWING DISTANCE
ADJUSTMENT SWITCH
This optional Wingman
® Advanced ™
feature, allows the
driver to adjust the following distance or time gap. The
availability of this feature is determined by the vehicle
manufacturer. The switch has an increase or decrease
function. Pressing increase (+) will provide a larger
following distance, measured in seconds. Pressing
decrease (-) will provide a shorter following distance.
1.7 WINGMAN ADVANCED COLLISION
MITIGATION FEATURE OPERATION
Whenever your vehicle is traveling at above 15 mph, the
Wingman Advanced collision mitigation feature is ready to
intervene, if needed. It does not require cruise control to be
set. The collision mitigation feature of Wingman Advanced
will alert you automatically and apply up to two-thirds of the
vehicle’s braking capacity, if a collision with the detected
forward vehicle is likely to occur. You, the driver, must
immediately act to potentially avoid, or lessen the severity
of, a collision.
Collision mitigation is ready to intervene as long as no DTCs
are active in either the brake system, Wingman Advanced
system, or any other contributing vehicle system.
AUTOMATIC FOUNDATION
BRAKE APPLICATIONS
The vehicle automatically manages foundation braking
priorities among the various vehicle systems that use
the foundation brakes, such as Wingman Advanced,
Bendix ®
ESP
®
(Electronic Stability Program), Bendix
®
ATC
(Automatic Traction Control) and the Bendix
®
ABS (Antilock
Braking System).
1.8 ALERTS AND WARNINGS
The Bendix Wingman Advanced system operates differently
compared to other cruise control/forward collision warning
systems. It is important for
YOU
to fully understand the
system’s features, especially the driver alerts and warnings.
Three important warnings provided by the Wingman
Advanced system are the Following Distance Alert (FDA),
Impact Alert (IA), and Stationary Object Alert (SOA). The
driver will be alerted by any of the three warnings, whether
or not the cruise control is activated.
See Appendix F, Sections 3.0-5.0, for more information
about how DIUs communicate alerts.
WARNING: Any audible and/or visual alert by the
system means that your vehicle is too close to the
vehicle ahead and the driver must immediately act to
potentially avoid, or lessen the severity of, a collision.
