Improper use of the Wingman Advanced system can
result in a collision causing property damage, serious
injuries, or death.
The driver is always responsible for the control and
safe operation of the vehicle at all times. The Bendix
Wingman Advanced system does not replace the
need for a skilled, alert professional driver, reacting
appropriately and in a timely manner, and using safe
driving practices.

DESCRIPTION
The Wingman Advanced system is an integrated
combination of three features:
• Adaptive cruise control with braking,
• Alerts (three types of alerts), and
• Collision mitigation technology.
PART ONE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE
CONTROL WITH BRAKING
The adaptive cruise control with braking feature is an
additional upgrade of ordinary cruise control. When using
cruise control, the Wingman Advanced system will maintain
the set speed, and also will intervene, as needed, to help
maintain a set following distance behind a detected forward
vehicle.
Using a radar (with a range of approximately 500 feet)
mounted to the front of the vehicle, the Wingman Advanced
system reacts to detected forward vehicles in the same
lane, traveling in the same direction. See Figure 1.
The adaptive cruise control with braking feature is designed
to help the driver maintain a set following distance between

his vehicle and a detected forward vehicle when cruise
control is set. See the gray "Radar Beam" area in Figure 2.
RADAR BEAM
The STRIPED area approximates the zone
where the collision mitigation feature is ready to
intervene with up to two-thirds of the of vehicle’s
braking capacity, if needed, as long as the
vehicle is traveling above 15 mph.
FIGURE 2 - Bendix® Wingman® advanced™ system RadaR detection

the Wingman Advanced system – when cruise
control is set – is ready to intervene with up to
one-third of the vehicle’s braking capacity, if
needed.

Once cruise control is set and the system is maintaining a
set following distance between you and the vehicle in front:
imposed by factory-set road speed governors, etc. are fully
supported by the Wingman Advanced system.
If the vehicle in front of you slows down below the cruise
control’s set speed, the Bendix
®
Wingman® Advanced
™
system will intervene and, as necessary, in this order:
(a) reduce the engine throttle, then
(b) apply the engine retarder, then
(c) apply the foundation brakes,
in an attempt to maintain the set following distance behind
the vehicle ahead. NOTE: If during the intervention, it is
necessary to apply the foundation brakes, the vehicle will
not automatically resume the cruise control set speed.
If the vehicle ahead slows below the cruise control’s set
speed, but then accelerates away, and the Wingman
Advanced system did not need to use the foundation
brakes, the system will automatically accelerate back to the
original cruise control set speed, and again maintain a set
following distance behind any detected forward vehicles.
Because the Wingman Advanced system operates along
with normal cruise control, all the typical features built
into cruise control work as usual. For example, limits
P ART TWO: ALERTS
Bendix Wingman Advanced also assists by giving audible
and visual alerts, whether or not cruise control is on. See
Pages 8-10 for more information on the three types of alerts
the driver may hear and/or see displayed.
PART THREE: COLLISION
MITIGATION TECHNOLOGY
See the striped area in Figure 1. Wingman Advanced’s
collision mitigation technology is designed to be ready to
react to the presence of moving vehicles in front of your
vehicle (whether or not cruise control is set). Collision
mitigation interventions can be up to two-thirds of the
vehicle’s braking capacity. The system provides the driver
with an alert before an intervention occurs. The driver must
immediately act to potentially avoid, or lessen the severity
of, a collision.
The driver is always responsible for the control and
safe operation of the vehicle at all times. The Bendix
Wingman Advanced system does not replace the
need for a skilled, alert professional driver, reacting
appropriately and in a timely manner, and using safe
driving practices.
This vehicle's cruise control must be used only in the same
conditions that are normally recommended for ordinary
cruise control.
Vehicle manufacturers may use alerts, messages, and
dash arrangements that vary from the examples shown
here. Consult the vehicle operator’s manual for applicable
details regarding use and operation.
WHEN NOT TO USE WINGMAN
ADV ANCED ADAPTIVE CRUISE
CONTROL WITH BRAKING
The adaptive cruise control and braking feature in
Wingman Advanced is automatically ready when
normal cruise control is set.
This vehicle’s cruise control must be used only in
the same conditions that are normally recommended
for ordinary cruise control. As noted below , there are
certain situations when cruise control should NOT be
used.
•Inclement Weather – Do not use cruise
control in rain, snow, fog, ice or other
severe weather conditions that may
affect the performance of the Wingman
Advanced system.
•Dense Traffi c – Do not use cruise control
in heavy traffi c.
•Sharp Curves and Winding Roads –
Do not use cruise control when traveling
sharply curved or winding roadways.
CAUTION: Road curvature may impact
the radar’s ability to track vehicles ahead
in the same lane.
•Entrance or Exit Ramps – Do not use
cruise control when entering or exiting
roadways.
•Downhill Grades – Do not use cruise
control on downhill grades.
•Construction Zones – Do not use cruise
control in construction zones.
•Off-Road – Do not use cruise control in
off-road conditions.
•Smaller Forward Vehicles – Smaller
vehicles, such as motorcycles, may be
diffi cult for the radar to identify. It is the
driver’s responsibility to be aware of
these types of vehicles and to slow down
if necessary.

AUTOMATIC FOUNDATION
BRAKE APPLICA TIONS
The vehicle automatically manages foundation brake
priorities among the various vehicle systems that use the
foundation brakes, such as Bendix
NOTE: Cruise control will automatically cancel whenever
the Wingman Advanced system applies the foundation
brakes. You can verify that your cruise control is disengaged
by observing that the cruise-enabled icon is no longer
illuminated. You must resume or set cruise control in
order to regain normal cruise control functionality and to
reengage the adaptive cruise control with braking feature
of the Wingman Advanced system.
Additional information, and complete troubleshooting
procedures for the Bendix ESP stability system, can be
found in the Bendix Service Data Sheet SD-13-4869.
1.02 SYSTEM COMPONENTS
The radar sensor (or radar) used in the Wingman Advanced
unit is located at the front of the vehicle – either on the
bumper or just behind it on a cross-member. See Figure 3.
Also see the Indications and Alerts section of this manual
on page 16 for more detailed information about the alerts.
NOTE: For some integrated systems, the volume level of
the alerts is not adjustable, nor can they be switched off.
1.03 ACTIVATING THE BENDIX
®
WINGMAN® ADV ANCED™ SYSTEM
®
To have the Wingman Advanced cruise control with braking
features of the Wingman Advanced system (engine dethrottle/retard, foundation brake interventions) the vehicle’s
regular cruise control must be switched on. See Figure 5
for examples of switches that may be used.
When the vehicle reaches the desired cruise speed, the
driver presses the cruise control set switch to activate the
system. The Wingman Advanced system will then engage
and help the driver maintain a set following distance behind
the vehicle traveling in front.
Once the cruise control speed is set, a cruise-enabled icon
(or similar) will illuminate on the instrument panel. If the
cruise-enabled or set (or similar) icon does not illuminate,
the Wingman Advanced system is not functioning normally.
Refer to the vehicle operator’s manual to double-check
the location of the icon, and for further troubleshooting
information.
FIGURE 3 - COMPONENT: RADAR SENSOR
The radar sensor is pre-aligned at the factory and no
adjustment should be needed. If the radar sensor becomes
misaligned (or a diagnostic trouble code is issued), either a
message – or light on the dash, depending on the vehicle –
lets the driver know that service is needed.
The Wingman Advanced system is either fully integrated
into the vehicle dashboard, or uses the Bendix
®
Driver
Interface Unit (DIU).See Figure 4.
FIGURE 4 - BENDIX DRIVER INTERFACE UNIT (DIU)
Although the system functions the same, how the alerts
are displayed to the driver can be different. Where a DIU
(Driver Interface Unit) is used, all visual, text, and audible
indicators and alerts will be provided by the DIU. The DIU
allows the volume to be adjusted. See Appendix B.
The driver can switch off the Wingman Advanced system
manually by either stepping on the brake pedal or switching
off the cruise control.
FIGURE 5 - EXAMPLES OF CRUISE CONTROL SWITCHES
IMPORTANT NOTE: Cruise control will automatically
cancel whenever Wingman Advanced applies the
foundation brakes.

1.05 HOW A DRIVER INTERACTS WITH BENDIX® WINGMAN® ADV ANCED
™
Table 2 illustrates how the Wingman Advanced system will respond to various actions a driver may take when using
Wingman Advanced system on the road.
The driver is always responsible for the control and safe
operation of the vehicle at all times. The Bendix Wingman
Advanced system does not replace the need for a skilled,
alert professional driver, reacting appropriately and in a
timely manner, and using safe driving practices.

The adaptive cruise control with braking feature will turn off; the collision mitigation
feature remains active and ready to intervene. The driver will continue to hear all
alerts as needed.
The adaptive cruise control with braking feature is automatically activated. Your
vehicle maintains a set speed and following distance behind the vehicle ahead.
The Wingman Advanced system performance will be diminished or even disabled
and a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) will be set. A blockage will also affect engine
cruise control availability.
Vehicle speed increased (+) or reduced (-) to achieve the new set speed while
actively maintaining following distance with the vehicle ahead, if one is present within
500 feet.
NOTE: The system responses above are typical, but may vary from the descriptions shown here by vehicle manufacturer,
or earlier versions of the Wingman Advanced system. These are examples of driver actions and typical Wingman
Advanced system responses, however this chart does not attempt to cover all possible situations.

Page 8
THE FORWARD VEHICLE DETECTED ICON
When cruise control is switched on and set and a vehicle
ahead of you is detected by the radar, the detected
forward vehicle icon, or similar will illuminate on the vehicle
dashboard.
This is an indication to the driver that the Wingman
Advanced system is actively managing the distance
between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead, and may
intervene automatically, if needed.
See Figure 6 for examples.
FIGURE 6 - FORWARD VEHICLE DETECTED ICONS
ADJUSTING THE CRUISE CONTROL SPEED
Use the switch(es) provided by the vehicle manufacturer
to set your cruise control speed. When adjusted, your
set speed will typically be indicated on the vehicle dash,
message center, or speedometer.
1.06 FOLLOWING DISTANCE
Following distance refers to the time gap, measured in
seconds, between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead. The
actual physical distance between the two will vary based
on the speeds of both vehicles; however, the set gap will
remain the same for all set cruise speeds.
FOLLOWING DISTANCE
ADJUSTMENT SWITCH
This optional Wingman Advanced feature, allows the driver
to adjust the following distance or time gap. The availability
of this feature is determined by the vehicle manufacturer.
The switch has an increase or decrease function. Pressing
increase (+) will provide a larger following distance,
measured in seconds. Pressing decrease (-) will provide
a shorter following distance.
Whenever your vehicle is traveling at above 15 mph, the
Wingman Advanced collision mitigation feature is ready to
intervene, if needed. It does not require cruise control to be
set. The collision mitigation feature of Wingman Advanced
will alert you automatically and apply up to two-thirds of the
vehicle’s braking capacity, if a collision with the detected
forward vehicle is likely to occur. You, the driver, must
immediately act to potentially avoid, or lessen the severity
of, a collision.
Collision mitigation is ready to intervene as long as no DTCs
are active in either the brake system, Wingman Advanced
system, or any other contributing vehicle system.
AUTOMATIC FOUNDATION
BRAKE APPLICA TIONS
The vehicle automatically manages foundation braking
priorities among the various vehicle systems that use
the foundation brakes, such as Wingman Advanced,
Bendix® ESP® (Electronic Stability Program), Bendix®ATC
(Automatic Traction Control) and the Bendix® ABS (Antilock
Braking System).
1.08 ALERTS AND WARNINGS
The Bendix
differently compared to other cruise control/forward collision
warning systems. It is important for YOU to fully understand
the system’s features, especially the driver alerts and
warnings.
Three important warnings provided by the Wingman
Advanced system are the Following Distance Alert (FDA),
Impact Alert (IA), and Stationary Object Alert (SOA). The
driver will be alerted by any of the three warnings, whether
or not the cruise control is activated.
See Appendix B, Sections 3.0-5.0, for more information
about how DIUs communicate alerts.
WARNING: Any audible and/or visual alert by the
system means that your vehicle is too close to the
vehicle ahead and the driver must immediately act to
potentially avoid, or lessen the severity of, a collision.

Page 9
IMP ACT ALERT (IA)
FOLLOWING DISTANCE ALERT (FDA)
The Impact Alert is the most severe warning issued
by the Wingman Advanced system. This alert indicates
that a collision with the detected forward vehicle is
likely and 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.
NOTE: The Impact Alert is typically accompanied by
automatic brake interventions. The Wingman Advanced
system will apply up to two-thirds of your vehicle’s braking
capacity. The driver must apply additional braking, when
necessary, to maintain a safe distance from the vehicle
ahead.
See Figure 7 for an example of an Impact Alert Icon.
The Following Distance Alert (FDA) provides both
audible and visual alerts whenever the time between
your vehicle and the detected forward vehicle ahead
is less than the one and a half (1½) seconds* and
decreasing. Once the audible alert is given, the driver
should increase the
distance between
his/her vehicle and
the vehicle ahead
until the audible alert
stops.
The FDA is ready to alert
the driver whenever
the vehicle is moving
above fi ve (5) mph. If
the following distance
continues to decrease,
the driver will hear
more rapid audible
alerts. When the FDA
reaches its highest
level, typically a red
LED also illuminates
on the instrument
cluster. The FDA may
be accompanied by a
visual alert.

STATIONARY OBJECT ALERT (SOA)
Stationary Object Alert (SOA) – The Bendix
Wingman® Advanced™ system will give up to three (3)
seconds alert to the driver when approaching a
detected, sizable, metallic (radar-refl ective), stationary
object in your lane of travel. This alert indicates that a
collision with a stationary object is likely and the driver
must immediately act to potentially avoid, or lessen
the severity of, a collision.
The SOA is ready to alert the driver whenever the vehicle
is moving above ten (10) mph.

The driver should be especially careful when approaching
certain types of vehicles or objects. The Wingman Advanced
radar may not be able to detect vehicles and 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.
Advanced system foundation brake applications for at
least 20 minutes.
• If the system does not detect a driver intervention within
15 seconds after the brake overuse alert sounds, it
will shut itself off and set a Diagnostic Trouble Code
(DTC). The driver will continue to receive alerts, but ALL
Wingman Advanced interventions (de-throttling, engine
retarder or brake applications) will be disabled until the
next ignition cycle.
Note: In all cases, the driver still has the ability to
apply the foundation brakes if necessary. The driver
should take care since overheated brakes may reduce
the vehicle’s braking capability.
(See Appendix B7.0).
FIGURE 11 - STATIONARY OBJECT ALERT DISPLAYED
BRAKE OVERUSE ALERT
The Bendix® Wingman® Advanced™ system provides
a warning when the system is intervening and using
the foundation brakes excessively. Overuse of the
foundation brakes can lead to the brakes overheating
and a potential loss of braking performance caused
by brake fade. Using cruise control on downhill runs will
cause this alert to be activated.
Approach grades as you would normally , with the
appropriate gear selected and at a safe speed. Cruise
control should NOT be used on downhill grades.
When the system detects brake overuse, depending on the
vehicle manufacturer, a text message will be displayed on
the dashboard and an audible alert will be activated. The
driver should intervene immediately.
FIGURE 12 - BRAKE OVERUSE WARNING
• Once the brake overuse alert is activated, certain
driver interventions that cancel cruise control – like
stepping on the brake pedal or switching off cruise – will
discontinue the alert. Following an overuse alert, the
driver should not reset cruise control for at least 20
minutes. This gives the brakes time to cool down. If
the driver chooses to reset cruise control during that
20 minute period, Wingman Advanced interventions
will be limited to de-throttling and engine retarder only.
The system will automatically disable all Wingman
1.09 WINGMAN ADVANCED
DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES
The Wingman Advanced system is monitored and if any
malfunction is detected, a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC)
will be set and the driver will be alerted. The exact alert
given depends on the vehicle manufacturer: refer to your
vehicle operator’s manual and Sections 3 and 4.
1.10 RADAR SENSOR INTERCHANGEABILITY
Many variables must be considered when determining
whether or not the radar sensor can be relocated from one
vehicle to another vehicle. They include, but are not limited
to, the version of the Bendix®ESP® stability system used
on the vehicle, the instrument cluster, the vehicle ECU, the
engine and the transmission.

1.12 POTENTIAL FALSE WARNINGS
In certain unusual traffi c or roadway conditions, Wingman
Advanced may issue a false alert. While eliminating
all false alerts is not possible, if false alerts occur too
frequently (more than twice a day), this may indicate
sensor misalignment. Service the system at the earliest
opportunity.
Drivers should take into account the road conditions, and
any other factors they are encountering, as they choose
how to react to any alerts they receive from the Wingman
Advanced system.

2.1 GENERAL SAFETY GUIDELINES
WARNING! PLEASE READ AND
FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS TO
AVOID PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH:
When working on or around a vehicle, the following
general precautions should be observed at all times.
1. Park the vehicle on a level surface, apply the parking
brakes, and always block the wheels. Always wear
safety glasses.
2. Stop the engine and remove ignition key when working
under or around the vehicle. When working in the engine
compartment, the engine should be shut off and the
ignition key should be removed. Where circumstances
require that the engine be in operation, EXTREME
CAUTION should be used to prevent personal injury
resulting from contact with moving, rotating, leaking,
heated or electrically charged components.
3. Do not attempt to install, remove, disassemble or
assemble a component until you have read and
thoroughly understand the recommended procedures.
Use only the proper tools and observe all precautions
pertaining to use of those tools.
4. If the work is being performed on the vehicle’s air brake
system, or any auxiliary pressurized air systems, make
certain to drain the air pressure from all reservoirs
before beginning ANY work on the vehicle. If the vehicle
is equipped with a Bendix
a dryer reservoir module, be sure to drain the purge
reservoir.
5. Following the vehicle manufacturer’s recommended
procedures, deactivate the electrical system in a
manner that safely removes all electrical power from
the vehicle.
6. Never exceed manufacturer’s recommended pressures.
7. Never connect or disconnect a hose or line containing
pressure; it may whip. Never remove a component or
plug unless you are certain all system pressure has
been depleted.
8. Use only genuine Bendix® brand replacement parts,
components and kits. Replacement hardware, tubing,
hose, fi ttings, etc. must be of equivalent size, type
and strength as original equipment and be designed
specifi cally for such applications and systems.
9. Components with stripped threads or damaged parts
should be replaced rather than repaired. Do not
attempt repairs requiring machining or welding unless
specifi cally stated and approved by the vehicle and
component manufacturer.
10. Prior to returning the vehicle to service, make certain all
components and systems are restored to their proper
operating condition.
11. For vehicles with Automatic Traction Control (ATC),
the ATC function must be disabled (ATC indicator
lamp should be ON) prior to performing any vehicle
maintenance where one or more wheels on a drive
axle are lifted off the ground and moving.

2.2 EQUIPMENT MAINTENANCE: BRAKE
SYSTEM AND ABS FUNCTIONALITY
Importance of Antilock Braking System (ABS)
Maintenance – Optimal Bendix® Wingman® Advanced
system braking requires a properly maintained ABS system,
without any active ABS Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs).
Have active DTCs repaired by a qualifi ed technician. Any
ABS DTCs will cause Wingman Advanced to deactivate.
Importance of Brake Maintenance – Optimal
Wingman Advanced braking requires properly maintained
foundation brakes (drum, wide-drum, or air disc) which
meet appropriate safety standards and regulations. Brake
performance also requires that the vehicle be equipped with
properly sized and infl ated tires, with a safe tread depth.
System Problems – If a problem with the Wingman
Advanced system is detected, depending on the vehicle
manufacturer, typically there will be a message on the
dashboard display. Depending on the type of problem
detected, the system will determine if the vehicle may
continue normal cruise control functions (without the
benefi ts of Wingman Advanced), or whether all cruise
control functions should be disabled until service is
performed. The system should be serviced as soon as
possible to restore full Wingman Advanced functionality.
™
2.3 SYSTEM PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
The Wingman Advanced system is relatively maintenance
free. The key items to keep the system functioning properly
include:
1. Keep the radar lens clean and free of obstructions.
2. Inspect for any damage to the bumper or the Wingman
Advanced cover, bracket or radar to ensure that the
alignment has not been compromised. Never use the
radar unit as a step.
3. Periodically check the radar alignment.
4. Perform appropriate inspections of the braking system
as required by the manufacturer to ensure brakes are
in proper working order.
5. Ensure that the tires are properly infl ated and that
adequate tread is present.
Radar Inspection – The driver should inspect the
radar and mounting bracket regularly and remove any mud,
snow, ice build-up, or other obstructions. The installation
of aftermarket deer guards is not recommended, and could
impair the operation of the radar.
Radar Damage / Misalignment / Tampering - In
cases where the bumper and/or radar have sustained any
damage, are misaligned, or if you suspect that the radar
has been tampered with, do not use the cruise control until
the vehicle has been repaired and the radar re-aligned. In
addition, an indicator on the dash typically will illuminate if
the system detects any of these conditions. Consult your
vehicle’s operator’s manual or contact Bendix for more
information.
NOTE: Any vehicle trouble code that disables vehicle
cruise control will also cause a diagnostic trouble code in
Wingman Advanced.

3.3 Overview of Possible Issues . . . . . . . . . . 16
This section introduces three initial steps to accurately
troubleshoot the Bendix
We recommend reading this introductory section, as well
as the Troubleshooting/Diagnostics Section (4.0), before
performing any troubleshooting.
When diagnosing the Wingman Advanced system, in many
®
cases Bendix
ACom®Diagnostics software (version 6.3
or higher) will be required. This software is available as a
free download from www.bendix.com.
3.1 TROUBLESHOOTING BASICS
Troubleshooting Basics (3.1)
QuestionsNext Steps
What color is the radar sensor?
The Wingman Advanced system has a black “eyeball” radar sensor (SeeSection 1.02). If the radar sensor is fl at-fronted, or is yellow, it is not a
Wingman Advanced radar sensor.

system.
Have the driver run the Power-Up
Self-Test.
Does the driver hear a
long warning beep?
Power-Up Self-T est
This is a self diagnostic check, to determine if the system operation is normal.
1.
Park the vehicle. Power off.
2.
Put the key into the ignition, and turn to the “ignition power” position.
3.
Toggle the cruise control switch at least once, and leave it in the “on”
position.
4.
Start the vehicle, but do not drive away.
Note that if the cruise control is in the “off” position, or if the
vehicle is moving, this test will not run.
5.
The self-test will start after 15 seconds, and takes approximately fi ve
(5) seconds to complete.
(Note that other vehicle system self-tests, e.g. the ABS “chuff” test,
may run during the initial 15 seconds after ignition “on.”)
As the Wingman Advanced self-test runs, the driver should hear a short
set of beeps. The test checks the engine, transmission, and brake
systems to make sure they are communicating. In addition, depending
on the vehicle, the test may briefl y display a distance alert message
and/or cause the Forward Vehicle Detected icon in the instrument
cluster to illuminate; this is normal.
If no problem is found and the test is passed, no additional beeps/lamps will
be displayed nor will a trouble code be set.
If the system has found an issue that will prevent it from functioning properly,
a long warning beep will sound to alert the driver, and a Diagnostic Trouble
Code (DTC) will be logged in the syst em (typi c a l ly with a status in dicator/dash
icon illuminated). For descriptions of all DTCs, see Section 4.3: Diagnostic
Trouble Codes.
Have the driver describe the system
behavior that they believe shows it is not
working properly.
TABLE 3 - TROUBLESHOOTING BASICS
When diagnosing the system, especially in cases where there are no
diagnostic trouble codes logged, fi nd out which part of the system behavior
appears to be operating improperly. See Section 3.2: Narrowing Down the
Problem.

3.2 NARROWING DOWN THE PROBLEM
Use the questions found in Table 3.2 below to help assess if the Bendix
®
Wingman® Advanced
correctly. Be sure to have a thorough understanding of the system’s normal behavior; this will reduce the troubleshooting
time. The table provides a guide to basic troubleshooting questions and possible corrective actions. Items in Italics
cross-reference to the service procedures in this manual to repair the condition described.
If Bendix Tech Team assistance is needed, prior to calling 1-800-AIR-BRAKE, complete the Troubleshooting Checklist
(See Appendix A), to help reduce the time needed to troubleshoot the system.
Narrowing Down the Problem (3.2)
QuestionsNext Steps
Alignment Problems
Is the radar sensor mounting location
(bumper or cross member) damaged?
• Does the system seem to lose, or “not hold
on to,” the forward vehicle when going around
curves? • Does the system seem to warn on
vehicles in adjacent lanes? • Are there false
alerts when passing other vehicles? • Does
the system seem to warn late when another
vehicle cuts in front of the truck? • Does the
system seem to not "see" as far as it “used
to”, or warn on many more overhead bridges/
signs than previously? • Does the system
seem to be inconsistent when tracking
forward vehicles?
Blocked Radar Sensor Issues
Is mud, ice, or snow covering the radar
sensor?
Is anything blocking the view of the radar
sensor?
Potential False Warnings
Do false alerts seem to happen in
construction zones or going under bridges?
Other Questions
Has the system worked properly in the past
and is not working correctly now?
Re-align the radar sensor vertically and laterally. Use the following procedures:
• Section 6.07: Check Vertical Alignment and adjust if needed.
• Section 6.09: Check Lateral Alignment and adjust if needed.
• Section 6.02: Check Radar Sensor Mounting – The radar needs a solid
mounting surface in order to hold the alignment. If the bumper or mounting
cross member is damaged, replace it fi rst, then align the radar sensor.
Clean the radar sensor lens immediately. Remove anything blocking the radar
sensor then power cycle and read any remaining trouble codes.
Read Section 4.3: Diagnostic Trouble Codes.
If the vehicle's cruise control is set and the radar sensor is blocked by ice,
snow, mud, tampering, etc. so that it cannot "see" a forward vehicle, Wingman
Advanced will log a diagnostic trouble code (DTC).
After the blockage is removed, the DTC will clear automatically. This process also
will set a vehicle cruise control DTC which must be cleared with an ignition key
cycle.
Add a visual check of the radar sensor for blockage to the driver’s pre-trip
inspection checklist.
Several road scenarios have a tendency to cause false warnings, including
construction zones and bridges. Unless these false warnings are frequent, the
system is likely reacting normally. The driver should not set the cruise control in
construction zones. If driver complaints persist, continue asking questions to more
narrowly defi ne the driving condition presenting the problems. Review proper
operating conditions in the operator's manual.
This is a good indication that something has changed, such as misalignment
of the radar sensor. Review questions listed above with the driver to further
diagnose the problem.

Narrowing Down the Problem (3.2)
QuestionsNext Steps
Does the mounting bracket look damaged or
tampered with?
Did the radar sensor currently on the vehicle
come from another vehicle?
With cruise control set, does the system
consistently apply the foundation brakes
when a forward vehicle slows?
Does a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) seem
to occur when driving through the desert
or in barren areas (no road signs, trees or
vehicles)?
Does the system seem to disengage after an
automatic braking event?
Does cruise control disengage sometimes
when the brakes come on and not at other
times?
Does the connector or wiring appear
damaged?
Does the system generate a diagnostic
trouble code going down a grade, but the
code goes away later?
Does the radar sensor have noticeable
damage beyond normal discoloration or
surface scratches?
TABLE 4 - NARROWING DOWN THE PROBLEM
Other than expected surface scratches or some discoloration over time, there
should be no visible damage to the radar sensor bracket assembly. If so, realign
the radar sensor vertically and laterally. If radar sensor alignment can not be held in
place, the bracket assembly must be replaced. Verify the bumper is not damaged.
• Check the Vertical Alignment (6.07) and adjust if needed.
• Check the Lateral Alignment (6.09) and adjust if needed.
The Radar Sensor Mounting - The radar sensor needs a solid mounting surface
in order to hold the alignment. If the bumper or mounting cross member is
damaged, replace it fi rst, then align the radar sensor.
The radar sensor may be incompatible with the new vehicle. Follow Section
1.10: Radar Sensor Interchangeability procedure and check system trouble codes
®
with Bendix
ACom® Diagnostics software.
Read Section 4.3: Diagnostic Trouble Codes.
This is normal operation. Continue asking the driver questions to diagnose
the problem. The radar sensor may be blocked or misaligned. The service
technician will need to check trouble codes as well.
• Check the Vertical Alignment (6.07) and adjust if needed.
• Check the Lateral Alignment (6.09) and adjust if needed.
The Radar Sensor Mounting - The radar sensor needs a solid mounting surface
in order to hold the alignment. If the bumper or mounting cross member is
damaged, replace it fi rst, then align the radar sensor.
Read Section 4.3: Diagnostic Trouble Codes.
In normal operation, the adaptive cruise control with braking feature of Bendix
Wingman® Advanced
™
system may “go dormant” if it hasn’t detected a metallic
object after a pre-determined period. This is rare, but most likely to occur when
driving in deserts or barren areas. If the system does “go dormant,” Wingman
Advanced provides a visible warning to the driver. In addition, the vehicle also will
drop out of cruise mode, providing an audible and/or visual warning to the driver
as well. The driver must actively re-engage the vehicle’s cruise control. Once
the desired cruise speed is set, the adaptive cruise control with braking feature
of Wingman Advanced will resume operation. When metallic objects are again
detected by the Wingman radar sensor, the trouble code previously recorded in
the Wingman system will clear automatically.
This is normal operation. The driver must set or "resume" the cruise control once
again to regain the following distance function.
This is normal operation. When traveling with lightly loaded trailers, or “bobtail”, the
adaptive cruise control with braking feature of Wingman Advanced may continue to
function even after an automatic brake application. No driver input is needed.
Wires can become corroded if the radar sensor is not plugged in properly. Clean
the connectors on the wire harness, as well as the radar sensor, and reattach. If
wires are chaffed, replace the wire harness. Also, check for trouble codes.
This is normal operation. The adaptive cruise control with braking feature
of Wingman Advanced is not intended to be used on grades. If the system
detects this, it will generate a diagnostic trouble code (DTC). Verify there are no
diagnostic trouble codes. Proper downgrade driving techniques should be used.
Read Section 4.3: Diagnostic Trouble Codes.
The radar sensor and bracket are very durable. However, if the radar sensor
housing or lens is cracked or broken, immediately look for trouble codes via

TABLE 5 - REVIEW OF POSSIBLE ISSUES
Some Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) indicate a temporary condition and will clear when
that condition is no longer present. If these persist, further investigation is warranted. SeeSection 3.1: Troubleshooting Basics.
If the performance of the system seems to be erratic or unpredictable, the radar sensor
could be misaligned and may need to be aligned both vertically and laterally. If there is a
DTC set or if the system does not function, the radar sensor may be severely misaligned
and Wingman Advanced will not operate until this is corrected. See Section 6.01: Vehicle Applications.
Inspect the front of the vehicle. If (a) it has been damaged, or (b) if the vehicle does not track
straight, either of these conditions must be repaired before troubleshooting Wingman Advanced.
If the system doesn’t seem to work at all, the radar sensor is probably blocked. A DTC will
also be set. Visually inspect it, clear the blockage, turn the ignition on and run through a
power cycle.
The Wingman Advanced system will not operate and will set a DTC if any of the following
vehicle systems also show a DTC: engine, engine cruise, instrument cluster, Bendix
Bendix®ATC, Bendix®ESP, or transmission. These components must be repaired and
cleared of DTCs before troubleshooting Wingman Advanced. (NOTE: Clearing the vehicle
DTCs may be the only step needed to reestablish full Wingman Advanced functionality. See
Section 4.4: Clearing Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs)
If the vehicle has been in an accident, it is likely the radar sensor will need to be realigned or replaced. Inspect the radar sensor lens and housing for damage. Radar sensor
discoloration or small scratches may be acceptable. Signifi cant damage will require radar
sensor replacement. Regardless of the exterior condition, check for diagnostic trouble codes
outlined in the Section 4.3: Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) to determine if radar sensor
replacement is necessary.
Visually inspect the connector and wire harness for corrosion or chaffi ng. Refer to Section
4.5: Troubleshooting Diagnostic Trouble Codes: Power Supply of this document for additional
troubleshooting.
If the entire system is non-functional, it may be a J1939 network problem. Follow the
instructions in Section 4.6: Serial Data (J1939) Communications Link.
If the entire system is non-functional, another likely cause may be a lack of power to the radar
sensor. Follow the instructions in Section 4.5: Troubleshooting Diagnostic T rouble Codes: Power
IMPORTANT NOTE: All vehicle diagnostic trouble
codes related to the engine, transmission, instrument
cluster, engine cruise control and Bendix
or ESP® systems must fi rst be resolved, with no
trouble codes present during the vehicle operation
while in cruise control, before attempting to
diagnose Bendix® Wingman® Advanced™ diagnostic
trouble codes.

DIAGNOSTICS SOFTWARE
ACom Diagnostics is a PC-based software program
available as a free download from the Bendix web site (www.
bendix.com) or on a CD from the Bendix Literature Center.
This software provides the technician with access to all the
available ECU diagnostic information and confi guration
capability. For Bendix Wingman Advanced diagnostics,
use ACom Diagnostics version 6.3 (or higher).
FIGURE 13 - BENDIX® ACOM® DIAGNOSTICS SOFTWARE
ST ARTING ACOM® DIAGNOSTICS
The Bendix® ACom® Diagnostics software can be started
from the desktop shortcut, or from the main Windows
screen with “Start-Programs-Bendix-ACom® Diagnostics.”
See Figure 14 and also Appendix C. To begin, the
technician selects “Wingman” from the Starter screen,
then “Start with ECU” from the Diagnostic Control panel.
NOTE: When using ACom Diagnostics for the fi rst time, the
service technician will be asked to select the communication
adapter for both the Wingman Advanced and Bendix
™
EC-60
controllers. While both controllers will use the
same physical adapter, the technician will need to indicate
which communication protocol to use for each. Once a
successful connection has been made, these steps will
no longer be necessary.

• 4.6: J1939 Serial Data Communications Link
• 4.7: J1939 Engine Communications Test Procedure
• 4.7.1: J1939 Troubleshooting Procedure
• 4.8: Troubleshooting Wiring Harnesses
Perform the following:
• Check for loss of data communications.
• Check for damaged or reversed J1939 wiring.
• Check for damaged or corroded connectors.
• Check for other devices inhibiting J1939
communications.
• With the power off, check the resistance across connector
pins (60 ohm).
• Check the reverse polarity of J1939 communication circuits
at the engine, the ABS and the radar sensor, and at the
harness interconnections.
• Check the source of the signal to identify why the signal has
an error.
• Check the engine, engine retarder, and ABS for trouble codes
using the manufacturer’s diagnostic procedures. Either the
engine, engine retarder, or the ABS are the source of the signal.
If the signal is in error, then the issue is from the radar sensor
or switch input to one of these controllers. The signal with the
trouble code may be computed from one or more inputs to
these other controllers and may use an additional J1939
signal from another controller. The controller that broadcasts
the signal must be investigated fi rst, but the origin of the
signal could be another component. Some examples are
gross vehicle weight and various engine torque signals.

4.7 ENGINE COMMUNICATIONS
(J1939) TEST PROCEDURE
The Wingman Advanced system requires several J1939
messages from the engine ECU to control the engine
and retarder torque for distance control and braking. The
Wingman Advanced system will set a diagnostic trouble
code if one of these messages is not present.
Use the engine manufacturer’s diagnostic test procedures
to verify that there are no errors present in the engine
that may prevent the Wingman Advanced system from
controlling the engine or retarder torque.
4.7.1 J1939 TROUBLESHOOTING
PROCEDURE
1. Take all measurements at the harness connector unless
otherwise indicated.
CAUTION:
SIDE OF THE CONNECTOR AS THIS WILL DAMAGE THE
SEAL AROUND THE WIRE
CAUTION: DO NOT INSERT ANY PROBE INTO THE
PIN ON THE MATING CONNECTOR OF THE RADAR
SENSOR THAT IS GREATER THAN 0.62 MM DIAMETER
OR SQUARE. THIS WILL DAMAGE THE CONNECTOR PIN
AND REQUIRE REPLACEMENT OF THE HARNESS
2. Check for damaged or reversed J1939 wiring.
If the J1939 HIGH or J1939 LOW wiring circuits are
damaged, such as shorting together, the entire J1939
link will be lost. The problem may be intermittent,
enabling the J1939 link to operate normally sometimes.
In that event, multiple diagnostic trouble codes will be
logged in multiple engine and vehicle controllers.
If the J1939 HIGH and J1939 LOW wiring circuits are
reversed, communication over the entire J1939 link will
not be lost. Only those devices that are outside of the
problem point from other devices will not receive, or be
able to transmit, data messages.
3. Check for corroded or damaged wiring connector
problems such as opens or shorts to voltage or ground.
DO NOT INSERT PROBES INTO THE BACK
.
.
If the connector terminals are corroded, this may be
an indication of water intrusion into the wiring system
®
and possibly into the radar sensor. Replacement of
the entire harness is recommended. If the terminals
of the radar sensor are corroded, replacement of the
radar sensor is recommended.
4. Check for other J1939 devices which may be inhibiting
J1939 communication. The service technician should
consult the vehicle manufacturer’s procedures for
other J1939 troubleshooting procedures. The device’s
power should be removed and measurements made at
the ECU pins for shorts to ground and power pins and
resistance between the J1939 HIGH or J1939 LOW
input circuits.
5. Unplug the radar sensor. With the ignition switch off,
measure the resistance (ohms) using a multimeter
between harness pins 2 and 3. The reading should be
approximately 60 ohms. If it is not, the vehicle wiring
should be investigated using procedures described by
the manufacturer.
6. Unplug the radar sensor. With the ignition switch off,
using a multimeter, measure the resistance in ohms,
between harness pins 2 and ground. The measurement
should indicate an open circuit or very high resistance.
If this is not the case, the vehicle wiring should be
investigated using procedures described by the
manufacturer.
7. Unplug the radar sensor. With the ignition switch off,
using a multimeter, measure the resistance in ohms,
between harness pins 3 and ground. The measurement
should indicate an open circuit or very high resistance.
If this is not the case, the vehicle wiring should be
investigated using procedures described by the
manufacturer.
4.8 TROUBLESHOOTING
WIRING HARNESSES
All wire harness connectors must be properly seated to
maintain environmental seals. Push the mating connector
until it seals with a click. When replacing an Advanced
radar sensor, check that the wire harness connector is
free of corrosion before plugging into a new radar sensor.
Check for corroded or damaged wiring connector problems
such as opens or shorts to voltage or ground.
If the connector terminals are corroded, this may be an
indication of water intrusion into the wiring system and
possibly into the radar sensor. Replacement of the entire
harness is recommended. If the terminals of the radar
sensor are corroded, replacement of radar sensor is
recommended.

5.5.2 DATA OVERVIEW
At the fl eet’s discretion, Wingman Advanced makes data
available (see Figure 22), in a data log, regardless of
whether or not Advanced is used. The log can be reset
using the Bendix ACom Diagnostics software as often as
needed.
The radar sensor can be mounted and installed only on
vehicles that have Wingman Advanced already installed.
At this time Wingman Advanced can not be retrofi tted onto
vehicles, even if that vehicle is equipped with the Bendix
ESP®stability system.
6.02 RADAR SENSOR MOUNTING
When mounting a radar sensor, the wire harness connector
should always point down. The radar sensor assembly
is mounted to the front of the vehicle using an adjustable
bracket. This adjustable bracket allows for the radar sensor
to be properly aimed laterally and vertically to maximize
Wingman Advanced system performance.
The assembly should always be mounted in the original
OEM location. If this location is not in the center of the
vehicle, the mounting offset will need to be programmed
through Bendix
6.09: Check Lateral Alignment.
For proper operation of your Wingman Advanced system,
adhere to the following guidelines:
• The radar sensor assembly should be rigidly installed
on the vehicle following all OEM recommended torque
specifi cations.
• The radar sensor assembly should be installed in the
original OEM designated location.
• The radar sensor cover should always be installed.
This helps protect components such as the connector
and wiring harness from road debris.
• The radar sensor assembly must be oriented so that the
electrical connector points down. Mounting the radar
upside down will impair performance signifi cantly.
• The radar’s fi eld 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-ofvehicle components.
NOTE: If original OEM installation was behind a translucent
panel, this panel must be reinstalled. Check the panel for
damage or scratches that may impact the performance of
®
Advanced. Replace the panel, if necessary , with an original
OEM supplied panel. Do not paint over the panel.

6.04 RADAR SENSOR ALIGNMENT
Accurate vertical and lateral alignment of the radar sensor
is critical for proper operation of Bendix
Advanced
™
. Improper alignment will cause false warnings,
missed warnings and a diagnostic trouble code in the
system.
The radar sensor is mounted to the front of the vehicle
using an adjustable bracket. Use the following procedures
to align the radar sensor in its adjustable bracket:
®
Wingman
6.07.2 If the vehicle has an air suspension system, charge
the system and set it to “level” prior to carrying out an
®
radar sensor check or alignment procedure. If the
system is not charged, the vertical alignment will be off
and the Wingman Advanced system will not perform
correctly.
6.07.3 For an accurate check (and adjustment, if necessary) of the vertical alignment, the vehicle needs to be
parked on a fl at, level surface.
NOTE: If the service technician is unable to park
the vehicle on a level fl oor, a digital inclinometer
must be used to align the sensor vertically.
6.07.4. Position the alignment tool over the sensor so that
it straddles the sensor. Attach the alignment tool to the
bracket/sensor assembly using its magnet attachments.
Use the Lateral Alignment level to make sure that the
alignment tool is approximately horizontal width-wise.

1. Be sure the vehicle is prepared as shown in Sections
6.07.1-3.
2. With the Bendix alignment tool still in place, loosen the
four vertical position screws. DO NOT remove these
screws. See Figure 31. During the adjustment, turn the
vertical alignment screw clockwise or counterclockwise
depending on the vertical direction (up or down)
needed. Clockwise aligns the radar sensor up and
counterclockwise moves the radar sensor down.
3. Where the original tool is being used: (kits K041451
or K041227)
In cases where a digital inclinometer is not being used,
the adjustment should be made until the bubble is just
touching the line closest to the vehicle (See Figure 31.)
4. Where a digital inclinometer is being used:
Adjust the vertical adjustment screw until the digital
inclinometer shows that the radar is aligned downward, towards the road surface in front of the
vehicle, by -1.3° (± 0.8°), when measured by an
inclinometer set to zero on the vehicle’s frame. (SeeFigure 29.)
5. Re-tighten the four vertical position screws to hold
desired alignment in place.
6. Re-check the vertical alignment after tightening the four
vertical position screws.
Note: The alignment process shown here is for Bendix
alignment brackets. For other brackets, similar alignment
steps will be needed; consult the vehicle manual for full
instructions.
5. Using a ruler or tape measure, measure the distance
from a symmetrical vehicle point (such as the tow
hooks) to the laser light line. Record this measurement.
See Figure 35.
NOTE: The technician must be extremely careful
during the laser positioning process to double-check
the values measured on each side of the truck. Be
sure to check back and forth for each side of the radar
sensor several times to ensure accuracy.
6. Repeat the same process for the opposite side and
measure the reference distance to the laser line.
For tool K042452, the blue laser level is rotated 180
degrees, and for tool K065284, the whole tool is
reversed so that the laser light points to the other side
of the vehicle.
7. Compare the left and right distance measurements.
A properly aligned radar sensor will have the same
measurement from side to side. If these two dimensions
are within 1/8” (3 mm), no alignment is necessary. If
not, follow the instructions in Section 6.10: Lateral Adjustment Procedure.

1. Park the vehicle on a fl at, level surface. The vertical
alignment must be checked and adjusted, if needed,
before the lateral adjustment can be made.
2. Remove the cover as shown previously in Section 6.05:
Cover Removal.
3. Position the alignment tool over the radar sensor so that
it straddles the radar sensor. Attach the alignment tool

FIGURE 35 - LATERAL ALIGNMENT VERIFICA TION
NOTE: The lateral alignment also can be checked with
Bendix ACom® Diagnostics (version 6.3 or higher). A
value between -0.8° and 0.8 ° is acceptable and the
system should operate normally. A value between
-0.8° to -1.3° OR 0.8° to 1.3° means the radar sensor is
misaligned and system performance will be degraded.
The service technician should align the radar sensor
using the procedures noted in this section.
If the value is less than (<) -1.3°, or greater than
(>) 1.3°, the system will typically issue a Diagnostic
Trouble Code. The service technician should align
the radar sensor laterally. A positive value means the
radar sensor should be aligned toward the driver side.
A negative value means the radar sensor should be
aligned towards the passenger side. The vehicle must
be driven at least 20 miles between adjustments. See
“Alignment Value” in Figure 17.
6.10 LATERAL ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE
NOTE: Complete these steps only if a vertical adjustment
is necessary.

Driver Interface Unit (DIU) to communicate with the driver. (For integrated systems, see the vehicle
operator’s manual for more information.)
This Section describes the functions of the DIU. The DIU mounts in, or on, the vehicle dash and provides the
interface between the driver and the Advanced system. The DIU provides visual and audio warnings to the
driver and accepts input from the driver through the “Up”, “Down” and “OK” buttons.
The DIU contains an internal speaker to provide audible warnings, 2 LED arrays (one each in yellow and red),
a single orange and blue LED and an LCD screen for visual warnings, and a light radar sensor to distinguish
between day and night conditions.

B1.3 Volume
Selecting “Volume” from the main menu displays the following screen:
(No LEDs
Illuminated)
Volume
The driver uses the up ( )/down ( ) arrow buttons to change the volume. Pressing the “OK” button exits
this menu item.
The modifi ed volume setting will be retained through ignition cycles unless confi gured not to do so. If not
confi gured, the volume setting will default to 100% on each new ignition cycle.
NOTE: The DIU can be confi gured to limit the minimum volume setting that the driver can select. The bar
shown above always represents the adjustable range based on minimum and maximum values. For example,
if the minimum value is set to 50% (midpoint between lowest (70 +/- 3dB) and highest (89 +/- 3dB) audio
levels, the bar represents an adjustable range from 50% (approx. 80dB) to 100% (approx. 89dB). Once the
minimum (or maximum) has been reached, a message will be shown indicating that further adjustment is not
allowed (e.g. “Minimum volume reached”). The step change per button press is approximately 2dB.
B1.4 Distance Setting (Dist. Setting)
On systems where changes are permitted, the “Distance Setting” option from the main menu will adjust the
following distance that the Bendix
distance mode. Distance Settings 1, 2, 3, and 4 will have different meanings based on the confi guration chosen by
the user in Bendix® ACom® Diagnostics (version 6.3 or higher). Generally, 4 relates to the farthest distance setting
available and 1 relates to the closest distance setting available. In many of the Advanced confi gurations available
in ACom®, two or more distance settings may be made equivalent to one another.
For more information on user confi gurations available through the Bendix ACom Diagnostics software, see
Section 5.4: Confi guring Bendix Wingman Advanced Following Distance Alerts in this Service Data sheet for further information.

B1.5 Distance Units (Dist. Units)
From the “Dist. Units” menu item, the user may choose to have the following distance from the forward vehicle
displayed in either seconds or feet. By default, this item is set to seconds. If the user selects feet, the DIU will
display the approximate distance from the bumper to the selected forward vehicle in feet. If the user selects
seconds, the DIU will display the approximate distance from the bumper to the selected forward vehicle in
seconds.
NOTE: Following distance in seconds is calculated based on the current speed of the Wingman
Advanced-equipped truck, and the distance, in feet, away from the selected forward vehicle. For instance, if
the selected forward vehicle is 88 feet from the bumper of the Wingman Advanced-equipped truck, and the
Wingman Advanced-equipped truck is traveling 60 mph, then the following distance in seconds would be 1.0
seconds because a truck traveling 60 mph can travel 88 feet in one (1) second.

Brightness
The driver uses the up ( )/down ( ) arrow buttons to change the LCD backlighting, LED brightness and
button backlighting. Pressing the OK button exits this menu item.
The light radar sensor reading determines whether the current cab lighting mode is bright (day) or dark (night).
When the light mode is bright, any brightness adjustment made by the driver is applied to only the bright
mode setting. Likewise, when the light radar sensor sets the light mode to dark, any brightness adjustment
made by the driver is applied to only the dark mode setting. This functionality allows the driver to adjust the
brightness setting for the two cab lighting conditions after which the DIU will automatically toggle between the
two settings based on the light radar sensor’s input. Both the bright mode setting and the dark mode setting
are stored across power cycles.
NOTE: The DIU does not allow the brightness control to completely shut off the LEDs.
B1.8 System Status
This screen shows the confi gured features of the system and their current operational status (i.e., “Failed”
or “OK”). The failed status means that some system malfunction is preventing the feature from properly
operating and that the feature is not available for use by the driver at this time. Pressing “OK” exits this menu

B3.0 Following Distance Alerts (FDAs)
One of the features of the Bendix
®
Wingman® Advanced
proprietary system combining vehicle speed, forward vehicle speed, distance, and driving scenario, FDAs are
used to provide the driver with distance alerts which are intelligent, in that they will give appropriate distance
alerts for the given situation. They alert the driver to objects far ahead in highway and country road driving
situations while not over-alerting in dense city traffi c.
The radar sensor uses the DIU to communicate the FDA alerts to the driver. This system can be confi gured
through Bendix® ACom
®
Diagnostics software (version 6.3 or higher), for use by a fl eet as a driver training tool
with or without coordinating the data made available by Wingman Advanced. In addition to being a reminder
of when a driver may be dangerously close to the vehicle ahead, the following distance alerts may also be
confi gured to reinforce safe following distance habits taught by the fl eet.
The FDA is based on the following interval between the host vehicle and the object ahead. In other words,
this is the time required by the host vehicle to travel forward and reach the object’s current location. With the
exception of the volume, the FDA may not be adjusted by the driver through the DIU. A qualifi ed technician
must connect to the vehicle through the diagnostic port and run ACom® Diagnostics (version 6.3 or higher),
in order to change the confi guration. The volume can not be turned all the way down, but other adjustments
may be made by the fl eet. See Section B1.3 for more details on volume adjustment.
The FDA system is intended only to alert the driver about following distance. For more information on alerts
for forward objects with high relative velocities and sudden decelerations, see Section B4.0: Impact Alert.
Only objects detected in the vehicle's lane, traveling in the same direction, are considered valid objects for the
FDA. For more information on stationary objects, see Section B5.0: Stationary Object Alert.
See Section 5.4: Confi guring Bendix Wingman Advanced Following Distance Alerts.

The driver is always responsible for the control and safe
operation of the vehicle at all times. The Bendix Wingman

B3.2 Following Distance Alert (FDA) Level 1 (Slow audible two-tone alert/single LED illuminated)
When FDA Level 1 is issued, the following distance to the object/vehicle ahead has been reduced to the
distance determined in the current confi guration for FDA Level 1. The DIU will begin to give the driver audio
and visual alerts for as long as the forward vehicle is in this zone and traveling at the same speed or slower.
The DIU will not display following distance units while in an FDA Level. For FDA Level 1, the audible alert will
be a single repeating tone, and the visual alert is a single yellow LED and a screen with the vehicles slightly
closer as shown below.

B3.3 Following Distance Alert (FDA) Level 2 (Medium audible two-tone alert/two LED’ s illuminated)
The DIU will give the driver audio and visual alerts for as long as the object/vehicle ahead is in this zone and
traveling at the same speed or slower. The DIU will not display following distance while in an FDA Level. For
FDA Level 2, the audible alert will be a repeating double tone, and the visual alert is two yellow LEDs and a
screen with the vehicles closer as shown below.
The DIU provides the driver with audio and visual alerts for as long as the vehicle ahead is in this zone and
traveling at the same speed or slower. This is the closest and most urgent Following Distance Alert.

B5.0 Stationary Object Alert (SOA)
Stationary Object Alert (SOA) is an alert given to the driver when the radar detects a sizeable, nonmoving
metallic object in the vehicle's path of travel. To reduce the number of false detections, such as bridges and
overhead signs, an advanced set of fi lters are put in place so the SOA will not warn on every stationary object.The SOA can be confi gured to be on or off through the display.
If a SOA is issued, the DIU will very briefl y send out an alert identical to a very brief FDA Level 2: continuous
tone and two yellow LEDs, with the display image switching between the two shown below.

B7.0 Brake Overuse Alert
Using cruise control on downhill runs is the primary cause for this alert to be activated.Cruise control should
NOT be used on downhill grades. Approach grades as you would normally , with the appropriate gear selected
and at a safe speed.
To guard against foundation brake overuse by the adaptive cruise control with braking feature of the Bendix
Advanced
™
system, the frequency of foundation brake interventions is monitored. If the system detects a situation
where the brakes are being applied too frequently by the system in a given time period, the brake overuse alert will
activate. This is designed to help prevent overheating of the brakes, which may lead to brake fade and reduced vehicle
braking capability. In this situation, the Brake Overuse Alert will fl ash a message requesting driver intervention. Also, an
audible alert will sound and a blue LED will blink on the Bendix Driver Interface Unit (DIU), as illustrated below:

This alert will continue for 15 seconds, during which time the driver should step on the brake or turn off cruise
control using the cruise control on/off switch.
• The intervention cancels cruise control.
• After a Brake Overuse Alert, for a period of time (typically 20 minutes), the Wingman
Advanced system will not use the foundation brakes when intervening. The system
will be limited to de-throttling the engine and applying the engine retarder during this time.
