Once cruise control is set and the system is maintaining a set following distance
between you and the forward vehicle:
• If the vehicle in front of you slows down below your cruise control’s
set speed, the system will intervene, as necessary, in this order:
(a) reduce the engine throttle; then
(b) apply the engine retarder; then
(c) apply the foundation brakes,
in an attempt to maintain the set following distance behind
the vehicle ahead. NOTE: If during the intervention, it is
necessary to apply the foundation brakes, the vehicle will
not automatically resume the cruise control set speed.
• If the vehicle ahead slows, below your cruise control’s set speed, but
then accelerates away and the Bendix

system did
not need to use the foundation brakes, the system will automatically
accelerate back to the original cruise control set speed, and again maintain
a set following distance behind any vehicles ahead of you.
Because the Wingman Fusion system operates along with normal cruise
control, all the typical features built into cruise control work as usual. For
example, limits imposed by factory‑set road speed governors, etc. are fully
supported by the Wingman Fusion system.
Part Two: Alerts
The Bendix Wingman Fusion system also assists by giving audible and
visual alerts, whether or not cruise control is on. See Pages 24-29 for more
information on the six (6) types of alerts you may hear and/or see displayed.
Part Three: Collision Mitigation Technology
See the DARK GREY area in the diagram on page 11. Wingman Fusion’s
Stationary Vehicle Braking (SVB) is designed to be ready to react to the
presence of stationary vehicles in front of your vehicle (whether or not cruise
control is set, as long as the vehicle is traveling above 15 mph / 24 kph.)
The system provides you with an alert before an intervention occurs.
You must immediately act to potentially avoid, or lessen the severity
of, a collision.
