The Following Distance Alert (FDA) provides both audible and visual
alerts whenever the time between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead
is at least 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.
* 1.5 seconds is the system default and may vary by fleet/OEM.
Stationary Object Alert (SOA) – The Bendix
®
Wingman
®
Fusion
™
system will give up to a three(3) second alert 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. As the driver, you must immediately act
to potentially avoid, or lessen the severity of, a collision. The SOA is
ready to alert you whenever the vehicle is moving above 10 mph / 16 kph.
Due to the inherent limitations of radar technology, the Stationary
Object Alert System may alert in response to stationary objects not in
the vehicle lane of travel. These objects may include bridges, signs,
parked vehicles, and traffic lights. Braking or throttle intervention
will not occur in response to stationary objects. As the driver, you
remain responsible for safely controlling the vehicle at all times by
appropriately applying the brakes, steering, or throttle as needed.
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.). NOTE: Entering
a curve may reduce the alert time to less than three (3) seconds.
