The Wingman Fusion system performance will be
diminished, or disabled, when either the radar or the
camera become blocked. An alert will be issued to alert
the driver to indicate this condition.
Radar: Radar blocked will be indicated through an alert
and will disable all Wingman functions. Camera based
functions such as LDW will remain.
Camera: Camera blocked will be indicated through an
alert and will disable all camera based functions. The
radar will maintain its function as a Wingman Advanced
system.

Vehicle speed increased (+) or reduced (‑) to achieve the
new set speed while actively maintaining the following

Alerts and Warnings
The Bendix
®
Wingman
®
Fusion
™
system is a unique, patented system that
functions differently than other cruise control/forward collision alert and
mitigation systems. It is important for YOU to fully understand the system’s
features, especially the driver indications and alerts.
Six main alerts provided by the Wingman Fusion system are the Impact
Alert (IA), Following Distance Alert (FDA), Stationary Object Alert (SOA),
Stationary Vehicle Braking (SVB), Lane Departure Warning (LDW), and
Overspeed Alert (OA). All of the alerts are always ready to alert you, whether
or not you are using cruise control.
WARNING: Any audible and/or visual alert by the system means that
your vehicle is too close to the vehicle ahead, your vehicle is outside
the intended lane of travel, or your vehicle is overspeeding the posted
speed limit. You must immediately act to potentially avoid, or lessen
the severity of, a collision and to maintain regulated control of the
vehicle to the intended lane and speed.
