When the Bendix
®
Fusion
™
System Isn’t Working
If the Bendix
®
Fusion
™
system has detected a problem, depending on the
vehicle manufacturer, there will typically be a warning message on the
dashboard display, a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) will be set, and you will
be alerted. The system will determine – depending on the type of problem
detected – if the vehicle may continue to have normal cruise control functions
(without the benefits of the Fusion system), or if all cruise control functions
need to be disabled until the vehicle is serviced. The system should be
serviced as soon as possible to restore full Fusion functionality.
Equipment Maintenance
Importance of Antilock Braking System (ABS) Maintenance - Optimal
Bendix Fusion system braking requires a properly maintained ABS
system, without any active ABS Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs). Have
active DTCs repaired by a qualified technician. Any ABS DTCs will cause
Fusion to deactivate.
Importance of Brake Maintenance - Optimal Fusion system braking
requires properly maintained truck foundation brakes (drum, wide-drum,
or air disc), which meet appropriate safety standards and regulations.
Brake performance also requires the vehicle be equipped with properly
sized and inflated tires with a safe tread depth.
Radar Inspection - You should visually inspect the radar and mounting
bracket regularly and remove any mud, snow, ice build-up, or other
obstructions. The installation of aftermarket deer guards, bumper guards,
snow plows, or similar potential obstructions is not recommended, and
could impair the operation of the radar.
Radar Damage / Misalignment / Tampering - In cases where the
bumper and/or radar have sustained any damage, are misaligned – or if
you suspect the radar has been tampered with – do not use the cruise
control until the vehicle has been repaired and the radar re-aligned. In
addition, an indicator on the dash typically will illuminate if the system
detects any of these conditions. Consult your vehicle’s operator’s manual
or contact Bendix for more information.
Camera Inspection - The Bendix Fusion system camera is mounted to
the windshield of the vehicle. The camera will be mounted inside the
wiper pattern and should be clear of any obstructions.
