PREVOST AWARE  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.

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

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.
