Important Safety Information About
Bendix
®
 Wingman
®
 ACB
SECTION 1: GENERAL
 The driver is always responsible for the control and safe operation 
of the vehicle at all times.  The Bendix
®
 Wingman
®
 ACB system 
does not replace the need for a skilled, alert professional driver, 
reacting appropriately and in a timely manner, and using safe 
driving practices.
 
Use cruise control only in the conditions that are normally 
recommended for its use.  
 
Setting the cruise control will also set the active cruise control with 
braking feature of the Bendix Wingman ACB system.  It must never 
be used on roads where you can not drive safely at a steady speed, 
including city streets, winding roads and sharp curves, downhill 
grades, poor road conditions (such as gravel or dirt), ice or wet 
surfaces (wet surfaces may increase the risk of hydroplaning), or in 
fog, heavy rain or snowy conditions.
 
Also, the cruise control should not be used in inclement weather; 
dense traffic or where smaller vehicles – such as motorcycles – are 
ahead in the same lane.
 
Always switch off the cruise control (by stepping on the brakes or 
turning off the cruise control switch) when entering turning lanes, 
entering or exiting highways, driving through construction zones, or 
similar situations.  See page 23 for more details.
 
Variations from this Manual – Vehicle manufacturers, and some 
previous models of the Bendix Wingman ACB system, may use alerts, 
messages, and dash arrangements that vary from the examples 
shown here.  Consult the vehicle operator’s manual(s) for applicable 
details regarding use and operation.
