Following
Distance Alert
(FDA)
• Always available
above 5 mph / 8 kph
The Following Distance Alert (FDA) provides
both audible and visual alerts whenever
the distance between your vehicle and the
detected forward vehicle ahead is less than
one and a half (1.5) seconds* and getting
closer. Once the audible alert is given,
you should increase the distance between
your vehicle and the vehicle ahead until the
audible alert stops.
The FDA is ready to alert you whenever the vehicle
is moving above 5 mph / 8 kph. If the following
distance continues to decrease, you will hear more
rapid audible alerts. When the FDA reaches its
highest level, a visual indication/alert will activate.
Above: Examples of other vehicle
manufacturer’s displays.
* 1.5 seconds is the system default and may vary by fleet/OEM.

Stationary Object
Alert (SOA)
• Typically available above
10 mph / 16 kph
Stationary Object Alert (SOA) – The
Bendix
®
Wingman
®
Fusion
™
system will give
up to three (3) seconds alert to you when
approaching a detected, sizable, stationary
object with metallic (radar-reflective) surfaces
in your lane of travel. This alert indicates
that a collision with a stationary object
is likely and you must immediately act to
potentially avoid, or lessen the severity
of, a collision.
Typically, the SOA is ready to alert you whenever
the vehicle is moving above ten (10) mph /
16 kph, but some OEs/fleets may select higher
minimum speeds. You should be especially
careful when approaching certain types of
vehicles and objects. The Wingman Fusion
radar may not be able to detect objects with
limited metal surfaces (such as recreational
vehicles, horse‑drawn buggies, motorcycles,
logging trailers, etc.).
