(RESUME) button will restore

the speed set prior to cancellation, providing that
your speed is above 30 mph (50 km/h).

NOTE

When driving downhill with the cruise control
on and set, the engine brake or the
transmission retarder engage automatically (if
previously activated) when the selected cruise
speed is exceeded by approximately:



4 mph (7 km/h) with the engine brake
activated;



0.6 mph (1 km/h) with the transmission
retarder activated.



The  engine  brake  or  the  transmission
retarder  is  then  disengaged  when  speed
has  returned  near  to  selected  cruise
speed.



The engine brake will provide low  braking
power  or  high  braking  power  depending
on which of the two steering wheel engine
brake control buttons is activated;





= engine brake high



The

braking level is determined by the retarder
hand lever position on the steering wheel.

To avoid sudden vehicle hesitation, slightly
depress

the

accelerator

pedal

before

disengaging the cruise control.

NOTE

When the

cruise

rocker switch is released, the

control memory.

IMPORTANT NOTE

If  the  engine  was  stopped  and  the  cruise
rocker  switch  was  in  the  ON  position,  the
rocker  switch  must  be  reset by  turning  it  OFF
then ON again in order for the cruise control to
be reactivated.

WARNING

speed must be constantly adjusted, such as in
heavy traffic or on winding, icy, snow-covered
or slippery roads, or on gravel roads.

WARNING

Do  not put the  transmission  in  the  neutral  (n)
position while driving with cruise control.  This
may  cause  the  engine  to  over-speed  and
result in a loss of driving control.

Adaptive Cruise Braking

Prevost AWARE Adaptive Cruise Braking (ACB)
is  an  optional  cruise  control  that  not  only
maintains  the  set speed,  but  will  also  intervene,
as  needed,  to  help  the  driver  maintain  a  set
following distance behind the forward vehicle by
reducing  speed  as  necessary.  As  soon  as  the
forward  vehicle  is  at  a  safe  distance,  the  coach
will accelerate back to the cruise set speed.

NOTE

The  following  paragraphs  briefly  sum  up  the
information  concerning  the  operation  and
function  of  the  ACB.  Before  driving  the
vehicle, be certain that you have read and that
you  fully  understand  each  and  every  step  of
the  driving  and  handling  information  found  in
Bendix  Wingman  ACB  Active  Cruise  with

Braking Operator’s Manual.

The driver should

fully understand all the audible alerts and
visual indicators that the system provides.

Bendix Wingman ACB Active Cruise with

Braking  Operator’s  Manual  (available  on
Prevost  web  site  and  included  on  the
Technical  Publications  CD)

will assist in

explaining what each of them means and
what actions the driver may be required to
take to avoid potential collisions.
