The driver will benefit all the audible and visual warnings that the system provides whether or not ACB is
turned on. In addition to the audible and visual warnings, when the ACB is turned on and a cruise speed
is set, the driver benefits from active interventions like engine throttle reduction, retarder or engine brake
application and service brakes application t

Turning the ACB system on
Activation of the adaptive cruise braking is
similar to the regular cruise control activation.
Press the CRUISE rocker switch to the ON
position, accelerate the vehicle to the desired
cruising speed and then, press the SET button.
ACB is now engaged with the set following
distance and driver warnings features.
Whenever the cruise control is engaged, the
ACB is also engaged. You cannot engage the
cruise control without also using the ACB
features.
Turning off the ACB system
You can turn off the ACB system, simply by
applying service brakes, setting the CRUISE
rocker switch to the OFF position or pressing the
cruise control CANCEL button on the steering
wheel.
Maintaining a set following distance
Using a radar sensor mounted to the front
bumper, the ACB system measures the distance
between the coach and the forward vehicle and
intervenes to help maintain a safe set following
distance behind the vehicle. This feature
engages automatically once the driver turns on
and sets cruise speed.
Following distance refers to the time gap,
measured in seconds, between the coach and
the vehicle ahead. The actual physical distance
between the coach and the vehicle ahead will
vary based on your set cruise speed; although
the set time gap remains the same for all set
cruise speeds. Prevost’s default set time gap is
7. seconds.
With cruise control engaged and a cruise speed
set, you are maintaining a set following distance
between the coach and the forward vehicle:
•
If the vehicle in front of the coach slows
down
below your cruise control set speed,
the system will progressively intervene as
follows, in this order:
1) reduce the engine throttle;
2) apply the engine brake or transmission
retarder;
3) apply about 30% of the service brakes
available braking power in an attempt to
maintain the set following distance.
The driver must apply additional braking power
when required, to avoid collision or to maintain a
safe distance from the vehicle ahead.
mode in order for the vehicle to throttle up.
WARNING
Even with ACB, the driver must remain
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
driver at all times.
Be certain that you have read all safety
warn- ings found in Bendix Wingman ACB
Active Cruise with Braking Operator’s
Manual.
!
WARNING
Adaptive Cruise Braking must be used only
in the same conditions that are normally
recommended for ordinary cruise control.
Refer to “Regular Cruise Control” paragraph.

OTE
If the ACB is actively decelerating or braking
the coach in an attempt to maintain the set
following distance at the moment when the
driver cancels the ACB system, the ACB
system will continue deceleration or braking
intervention until a safe following distance is
established, then will cancel.
Even though the cruise control doesn’t
operate at speeds below 30 mph (50 km/h),
the ACB system will continue deceleration
or braking intervention in an attempt to
maintain the set following distance if the
coach speed reduces to less than 30 mph
(50 km/h).
