The stationary vehicle braking feature of the Bendix
®
Fusion
™
system’s
Autonomous Emergency Braking is most useful when approaching a line of
stopped traffic or a stalled vehicle that is not immediately recognized by a
distracted driver, such as while driving in limited‑sight conditions, at night, or
in fog. Without the automatic alert and braking, it may be too late to avoid
impact.
Shown here is an example of a message you may get
when the Impact Alert, or Autonomous Emergency
Braking, is activated. Please verify with the vehicle
operator’s manual for the actual audible and visual
indications your vehicle may display. NOTE: As the
driver, you should always be alert and ready to take
over.
Multi-Lane Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB)
Not only can the Bendix
Fusion system potentially mitigate a forward
collision with an in‑lane vehicle, it can also help you mitigate one when
more than one highway lane is blocked. Once a collision mitigation
braking event begins and you, as the driver, steer into an adjacent lane
to avoid the forward vehicle, the Fusion system’s new multi‑lane AEB
feature continues to apply the brakes – if needed – when it detects
another forward vehicle ahead posing a threat in the new lane of travel.
Following Distance Alerts (FDA)
FDAs are both audible and visual indications to you whenever the distance
between your vehicle and the detected forward vehicle is less than 1.5 seconds
(Bendix default distance) and getting closer. NOTE: Confirm the FDA with
your OEM. Once the audible alert is given,
you should increase the distance between your
vehicle and the forward vehicle until the audible
alert stops.
The FDA is ready to alert you even when the
vehicle is moving at low speeds. If the distance
continues to decrease, you will hear and see
more rapid alerts.
