Vehicle Equipped with Bendix ®
Wingman ® Advanced ™
When the Wingman Advanced system needs to intervene, it works
in conjunction with the Bendix ® ESP ® electronic stability system to
engage the brakes. The system should never be relied upon to
stop your vehicle or to avoid a collision. The driver can, and should,
still apply full braking force, if needed.
SECTION 2: DRIVER ALERTS & WARNINGS
Driver Alerts and Warnings – Before driving with Wingman
Advanced, the driver 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.
Any audible and/or visual
alert by the system means that your vehicle is too close to the
vehicle ahead. The driver must immediately act to potentially
avoid, or lessen the severity of, a collision.
The Impact Alert (IA) is the most severe alert issued by the
Wingman Advanced system. This alert indicates that a collision
with the detected forward vehicle is likely. The driver must
immediately act to potentially avoid, or lessen the severity of, a
collision.
The Impact Alert is ready to alert the driver whenever the
vehicle is moving above 15 mph.
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.
