system reacts ONLY to vehicles that are
stationary or moving in the same direction as your vehicle. The Wingman
Fusion system DOES NOT respond to side‑to‑side moving traffic, or
oncoming traffic. The system will not slow your vehicle or provide an
alert as you approach vehicles in these circumstances.

The System Does Not Brake nor
Warn for Vehicles Approaching
from the Side or Oncoming
When the Wingman Fusion system needs to intervene, it works in
conjunction with the Bendix
®
ESP
®
stability system to engage the brakes.
The system should never be relied upon to stop your vehicle or to
avoid a collision. You can, and should, still apply full braking force, if
needed.
SECTION 2: DRIVER ALERTS & WARNINGS
IMPORTANT: It is the responsibility of the driver to remain vigilant and change
driving practices depending on traffic and road conditions.
Driver Alerts and Warnings – Before driving with Wingman Fusion, you
should fully understand all the audible alerts and visual indicators that
the system provides. This booklet will assist in explaining what each of
them means.
The Impact Alert (IA) / Collision Mitigation Braking (CMB)
The Impact Alert is the most severe alert issued by the Wingman
Fusion system. This alert indicates that a collision with the detected
forward vehicle is likely. You must immediately act to potentially
avoid, or lessen the severity of, a collision.
Collision Mitigation Braking applies vehicle braking to help avoid
or lessen the severity of a collision, and the system will also provide
visual and audible alerts when it is braking.
The IA and CMB are ready to alert you – and intervene – whenever the
vehicle is moving above 15 mph / 24 kph.
When activated, the IA will sound and a visual message/icon typically
appears on the dash screen or Bendix
®
Driver Interface Unit (DIU) display.
The actual sound/display method varies by vehicle manufacturer.
