Tracking Vehicles in a Curve
With cruise control set, when following a detected forward vehicle around
a curve, the forward vehicle may be lost by the Bendix
®
Wingman
®
Fusion
™
system. The Active Cruise with Braking feature will delay acceleration back
to the set speed until it regains contact with the vehicle ahead, or detects
that there is no longer a vehicle ahead, or after a time gap (based on the last
following distance recorded).
For example: Assume cruise control is set at 50 mph / 80 kph and you are
following 3 seconds behind a vehicle traveling at 45 mph / 72 kph that just
entered a sharp curve. If the vehicle ahead is no longer detected as you
travel around the curve, the Wingman Fusion system will delay the vehicle
acceleration back to 50 mph / 80 kph for 3 seconds.
You should be especially attentive to the Wingman Fusion system behavior
through curves
. In some cases, when traveling around a curve, the Fusion
system may lose the vehicle ahead and attempt to accelerate when
resuming the set speed.
It is also possible for the Wingman Fusion system to begin tracking vehicles
in other lanes when traveling around curves. In cases where the Wingman
Fusion system perceives that an adjacent‑lane vehicle is in your lane, the
system may intervene and begin making brake applications.
Applying the Brakes Before the System Does
If you determine that a hazard or unsafe condition exists, you should take all
necessary actions immediately.
Never wait for the Wingman Fusion system
to intervene.
Safe operation and control of the vehicle is the responsibility of the
driver at all times. If you, the driver, apply the brakes, cruise control will
disengage automatically, and no Wingman Fusion intervention will occur.
Approaching Slower-Moving Vehicles
When approaching a slower‑moving vehicle ahead, the driver should anticipate
this and begin applying the vehicle’s brakes early.
Do not wait for the Bendix
Wingman Fusion system to intervene.
