Over-Speed Alert and Action (OAA)
The Bendix
Fusion
system can read most roadside speed limit signs in
®
™
North America and can warn you if your vehicle speed exceeds the posted
speed limit.
The OAA is enabled at low vehicle speeds and will sound an audible and
visual alert to you when your vehicle is traveling at +5 mph (8 kph) over the
posted speed limit.
If your vehicle is traveling at +10 mph (16 kph) over the posted speed limit,
in addition to the alert, you will experience 1 second at 0% torque and a
3‑second ramp‑out. A message will then be transmitted to fleet management
via the Bendix
SafetyDirect
web portal.
™
®
Both the +5 and +10 mph thresholds are customizable by your fleet and may
vary. Also, the system does not sound an OAA when the posted speed limit is
20 mph (32 kph) or less. When driving between regions which post speeds in
miles, and those which post in kilometers, the speed sign recognition feature
will not function until the correct U.S./Metric selection is made.
Shown here is an example of a message you may get
when the OAA is activated. Please verify with the vehicle

Special Alerts
Brake Overuse Alert
The Fusion 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 may cause this
alert to activate. When the system detects brake overuse, a text message
will be displayed on the dashboard along with an audible alert. You should
intervene immediately. Please verify with the vehicle operator's manual for
the actual audible and visual indications your vehicle may display.
