4-10 CONTROLS AND INSTRUMENTS
PA1628 H3-41, H3-45 Operator’s Manual
NOTE
When driving downhill with the cruise control
on and set, the engine brake or the
transmission retarder engage automatically (if
previously activated) when the selected cruise
speed is exceeded by approximately:
4 mph (7 km/h) with the engine brake
activated;
0.6 mph (1 km/h) with the transmission
retarder activated.
The engine brake or the transmission retarder
is then disengaged when speed has returned
near to selected cruise speed.
The engine brake will provide low braking
power or high braking power depending on
which of the two steering wheel engine brake
control buttons is activated;
= Engine Brake Low
= Engine Brake High
The transmission retarder maximum braking
level is determined by the retarder hand lever
position on the steering wheel.
NOTE
To avoid sudden vehicle hesitation, slightly
depress the accelerator pedal before
disengaging the cruise control.
NOTE
When the
CRUISE
rocker switch is released,
the cruise control is completely shut off and
the cruise speed setting is erased from the
cruise control memory.
NOTE
If the engine was stopped and the CRUISE
rocker switch was in the ON position, the
rocker switch must be reset by turning it OFF
then ON again in order for the cruise control
to be reactivated.
WARNING
Do not use the cruise control when driving
speed must be constantly adjusted, such as
in heavy traffic or on icy, snow-covered or
slippery roads, or on gravel roads.
WARNING
Do not put the transmission in the neutral
(N) position while driving with cruise
control. This may cause the engine to over-
speed and result in a loss of driving control.
PREVOST AWARE  ADAPTIVE CRUISE
BRAKING
Prevost AWARE Adaptive Cruise Braking (ACB) is
an optional cruise control that not only
maintains the set speed, but will also intervene,
as needed, to help the driver maintain a set
following distance behind the forward vehicle by
reducing speed as necessary. As soon as the
forward vehicle is at a safe distance, the coach
will accelerate back to the cruise set speed.
NOTE
The following paragraphs briefly sum up the
information concerning the operation and
function of the ACB. Before driving the
vehicle, be certain that you have read and that
you fully understand each and every step of
the driving and handling information found in
Bendix Wingman ACB Active Cruise with
Braking Operator’s Manual. The driver should
fully understand all the audible alerts and
visual indicators that the system provides.
Bendix Wingman ACB Active Cruise with
Braking Operator’s Manual (available on
Prevost web site and included on the
Technical Publications CD) will assist in
explaining what each of them means and
what actions the driver may be required to
take to avoid potential collisions.

alert, react appropriately and in a timely
manner, and use good driving practices.
Ultimate responsibility for the safe
operation of the vehicle remains with the
