SENSOR MOUNTING CLEARANCE
CAUTION: Vehicle equipment, including bumpers,
deer guards, etc. must not infringe upon the zone used
by the radar sensor to emit and receive radar waves.
Failure to comply with this requirement will impair
the function of the radar. Only vehicle OEM-approved
covers and/or cover panels may be installed directly
in front of the radar.
For proper operation of your Wingman Advanced system,
adhere to the following guidelines:
• The radar sensor assembly should be OEM-installed
on the vehicle following all OEM specifications.
• The radar’s field of view must NOT have interference
from any other vehicle components such as bumpers,
cow-catcher bumpers, engine blankets, seasonal
decorations, or any other commonly mounted front-of-
vehicle components. The radar signal is emitted from
the front of the sensor with a spreading beam. In order
to ensure that no adverse interference is experienced
from bumpers or other nearby vehicle equipment, a
suitable clearance must be maintained around the
radar. This clearance must be maintained regardless if
the vehicle is stationary or in motion. See the diagram
below for a general guide and an example of how to
calculate the zone required.
NOTE: Bendix does not certify nor offer warranty on
Bendix Wingman systems where system performance is
affected by beam obstructions of any kind or unapproved
post-production covers. This document gives general
guidelines that will work for most vehicles; exceptions
may exist.
