BENDIX Fusion User Manual

16
Once the brake overuse alert is activated, certain driver interventions that
cancel cruise control – such as stepping on the brake pedal or switching off
cruise control – will discontinue the alert. Following an overuse alert, you
should not reset cruise control for at least 20 minutes. This gives the brakes
time to cool down.
If you choose to reset cruise control during that 20 minute period, the
Bendix
®
Fusion
™
system interventions will be limited to de‑throttling and
engine retarder only. The system will automatically disable all Fusion system
foundation brake applications for at least 20 minutes.
If the system does not detect a driver intervention within 15 seconds after
the brake overuse alert sounds, it will shut itself off and set a Diagnostic
Trouble Code (DTC). You will continue to receive alerts, but all Fusion system
interventions (de‑throttling, engine retarder, or brake applications) will be
disabled until the next ignition cycle.
NOTE: In all cases, you still have the ability to apply the foundation brakes
if necessary. You should take care since overheated brakes may reduce
the vehicle’s braking capability.
System Responses
This chart illustrates how the Bendix Fusion system reacts to specific driver
actions.

Step on the brake.
(During a collision
mitigation event.)
As the driver, you are always in control and are able to
apply full braking power.
Step aggressively
on the accelerator.
(During a collision
mitigation event.)
As the driver, you are always in control. Your actions
can override any Fusion system actions. NOTE: If
cruise control is engaged, it will be overridden until
the accelerator is released; then cruise control will
resume the original set speed automatically.
Step on the brake.
(When in cruise.)
Cruise control will be cancelled.
Step on the
accelerator. (When in
cruise.)
Cruise control will be overridden until the accelerator is
released; then cruise control will resume the original set
speed automatically.
Switch on the cruise
control.
Nothing. The Active Cruise with Braking (ACB) feature
