The Bendix Fusion system locates and tracks moving and stationary vehicles.
The radar is located at the front of your vehicle – either on the bumper or
just behind it on a cross‑member. When located behind the bumper, in some
cases the unit may also be behind a protective covering that allows the radar
signal to pass through. The camera is located on the windshield inside the
wiper pattern.
The Bendix Fusion system radar is pre‑aligned at the factory and no adjustment
should be needed. If the radar becomes misaligned – or any other system
problem is detected – a message (or light) on the dash lets you know that
service is needed.
With a range of approximately 328 ft (100 m), the system reacts ONLY to
vehicles moving in the same direction as you. (The system DOES NOT respond
to side‑to‑side moving traffic or oncoming traffic.)
System Display
Driver information about the Fusion system is either fully integrated into the
vehicle dashboard, or uses the Bendix DIU. Although the system functions the
same, how the alerts are displayed to you can be different. See the System
Features section of this manual for more detailed information about the alerts.
