to pedestrians, animals, and non-metallic objects. The Wingman
Advanced system may not warn or react to limited-metallic
objects (such as recreational vehicles, horse-drawn buggies,
motorcycles, logging trailers, etc).
With cruise control set, when following a detected forward vehicle around
a curve, the forward vehicle may be lost by the radar. The adaptive cruise
control with braking feature will delay acceleration back to the set speed
until it regains contact with the vehicle ahead, or detects that there is no
longer a vehicle ahead, or after a time gap (based on the last following
distance recorded).
For example: Assume cruise control is set at 50 MPH and you are following
3 seconds behind a vehicle traveling at 45 MPH that just entered a sharp
curve. If the vehicle ahead is no longer detected as you travel around the
curve, the Wingman Advanced system will delay the vehicle acceleration
back to 50 MPH for 3 seconds.
The operator should be especially attentive to the Wingman Advanced
system behavior through
around a curve, the radar may lose the vehicle ahead and attempt to
accelerate when resuming the set speed.
It is also possible for the Wingman Advanced system to begin tracking
vehicles in other lanes when traveling around curves. In cases where the
Wingman Advanced system perceives that an adjacent-lane vehicle is in
your lane, the system may intervene and begin making brake applications.
Applying the Brakes Before the System Does
If the driver determines that a hazard or unsafe condition exists, you
should take all necessary actions immediately. Never wait for the
Wingman Advanced system to intervene.
Safe operation and control of the vehicle is the responsibility of the
driver at all times. If the driver applies the brakes, cruise control will
disengage automatically, and no Wingman Advanced intervention
will occur.
