Pioneers of Commercial Vehicle Safety For more than 25 years, Meritor WABCO has driven innovation across the commercial vehicle industry by continuously introducing advanced technologies that enhance the safety and performance of fleets across North America. As a part of its driver assistance systems product line, Meritor WABCO designed OnGuardACTIVE, a Collision Mitigation System with active braking, to help protect and avoid potential rear-end collisions keeping drivers and fleet safe on the road. Now available with active braking on stationary vehicles. OnGuardACTIVE, Your Co-Pilot on the Road OnGuardACTIVE is a radar-based Collision Mitigation System (CMS) that offers Forward Collision Warning (FCW), Active Braking and Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC). OnGuardACTIVE detects objects ahead and assists the driver in recognizing and responding to potentially dangerous driving scenarios that could lead to a rear-end collision. OnGuardACTIVE is always monitoring the road and provides warnings and active braking when deemed necessary, even when cruise control is not set. When an impending collision is detected, OnGuardACTIVE has the ability to provide audible, visual and haptic warnings, automatically reduces engine torque and applies the foundation brakes to help avoid or mitigate a collision. Cutting Edge Radar Technology OnGuardACTIVE uses a long range, high precision forward looking radar with cutting edge dual mode technology to detect objects in your vehicle s path. The dual beam radar uses narrow angle far-range and wide angle near-range detection to expend the total area of radar coverage. This provides fast and accurate detection of objects far ahead while covering a wider angle to check adjacent freeway lanes for vehicles, to allow drivers time to make an evasive maneuver if necessary. Not all Collision Mitigation Systems are created equal. The 77 GHz radar on OnGuardACTIVE provides fast data processing, long range and accurate object recognition while maintaining its performance in harsh weather and limited visibility conditions. These are important aspects that optimize safety margins. Moving, Stopped and Stationary; It Takes All Kinds The OnGuardACTIVE 77 GHz radar registers objects into one of three classes: moving, stopped or stationary vehicles. Moving vehicles are ones that the radar sees in constant motion and continuously tracks the vehicle s speed Stopped vehicles were once registered as moving but have come to a stop for a traffic jam or stop light Stationary Vehicles are objects the radar recognizes but has never seen move, such as a disabled car Adaptive Cruise Control, Keeping your Pace Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) on OnGuardACTIVE offers a multitude of safety and convenience benefits. The system looks at the traffic ahead and adapts the vehicle s speed accordingly. OnGuardACTIVE ACC helps maintain a safe following distance between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead and makes driving those long hours a safer and less stressful experience. Forward Collision Warning, multiple layers of protection At Meritor WABCO, our ultimate goal is your safety. That is why OnGuardACTIVE offers three levels of warnings to alert you to potential rear-end collisions. The system provides audible beeps and visual warnings on the OnGuardACTIVE display when it detects the potential rear-end accident. It also provides an industryexclusive haptic warning which is a quick pulse of the brake system alerting the driver that a collision danger is present, provoking their response to an imminent collision. The OnGuardACTIVE CMS is no substitute for the most important factor in vehicle safety, which is a safe, conscientious driver. Use of OnGuardACTIVE CMS cannot compensate for a driver who is distracted, inattentive or impaired by fatigue, drugs or alcohol. 4 5

Active Braking, Smart Choices If OnGuardACTIVE detects a rear-end collision is developing without the driver taking action to decelerate the vehicle, the system automatically de-throttles the engine and, if needed, applies foundation brakes up to 50% braking power to help mitigate or prevent a collision. This applies to moving, stopped and stationary objects. Components OnGuardACTIVE Display OnGuardACTIVE Radar Protective Fascia 6 7

Driving Situation: ACC System ON Driving Situation: OnGuardACTIVE Performance on Stationary Vehicles ACC may require the driver to take back control under certain conditions, including but not limited to: Long downhill driving while following another vehicle (risk of overheating brakes) Strong deceleration of preceding vehicles Low engine speed OnGuardACTIVE does not necessarily prevent an accident with a stationary vehicle but is designed to mitigate the magnitude of the crash. Typical situations include but are not limited to: traffic jams and stationary roadside objects. Driving Situation: Cornering, Entering and Exiting Bends Driving Situation: Stationary Object Detection 8 The ability of OnGuardACTIVE to detect vehicles is reduced in tight bends. While entering or exiting a turn the system may interpret traffic ahead as being in the same lane depending on the radius of the turn and distance from the vehicle. OnGuardACTIVE may also accelerate the vehicle unexpectedly. Driver must exert extra caution while cornering the vehicle in tight bends. OnGuardACTIVE can unexpectedly issue warnings and brake the vehicle if it detects certain roadside or infrastructure stationary objects, such as. Lamp posts Roundabouts Traffic signs Traffic refuges Bridges Driver should pay extra attention to stationary objects that may cause the vehicle to react unexpectedly. 9

Meritor WABCO s most advanced, radar-based collision mitigation system with braking on moving, stopped and stationary vehicles Mitigating imminent collisions with stationary vehicles: Alerts the driver via audible, visual and haptic signals Provides active braking to avoid or reduce the magnitude of impending collision Long range radar enables earlier identification of imminent rearend collisions Helps mitigate imminent collisions with moving, stopped and stationary vehicles: Alerts the driver via audible, visual and haptic signals Provides active braking and can bring vehicle to a complete stop 10 11

Driving Situation: Vehicles Turning Off Driving Situation: Overtaking On junctions or intersections, OnGuardACTIVE may unexpectedly issue warnings or provide active braking on vehicles that have slowed turning in front of your vehicle. The driver should slow for the vehicles that are turning and not assume the vehicle will be clear of the lane when the truck gets there. Driving Situation: Other Vehicles Changing Lanes When overtaking a lead vehicle, OnGuardACTIVE may unexpectedly issue warnings or slow down the vehicle if driver: Drives too close to the lead vehicle Is in the same lane as the vehicle in front Therefore the driver should complete the lane change maneuver without reducing the safety distance to the front vehicle. Driving Situation: Winding Traffic may cut across the lane in front of you without warning. ACC may apply the brakes unexpectedly due to the sudden appearance of the vehicle. Drivers should always be prepared to make use of the service brake to maintain the required safe distance to the vehicle pulling in front. On winding stretches of road, OnGuardACTIVE may incorrectly determine a lead vehicle in an adjacent lane as a potential threat and may react via alert or active braking if the separation distance is deemed to be below threshold. It is recommended that a driver not use ACC on winding roads. 12 13

In-Cab Dash Display: Screen Background Colors Blue: Green: Yellow: Red: Amber: System Errors General operating mode with no target vehicle detected Target vehicle detected ahead Following distance alert Collision warning, Stationary Object warning Diagnostic fault screen If you receive an OnGuardACTIVE system error notification, your display will turn amber and a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) will appear. While your vehicle will still be operable, certain OnGuardACTIVE functions such as standard cruise control and CMS will not be available. It is highly recommended that you find a safe place to park and turn off the ignition for one to three minutes. This will reboot your systems and may correct the error. If the condition persists, you should contact your fleet manager to review the issue. Any error information should be recorded for troubleshooting purposes. To Change Display Settings: Press the MODE key to enter the display settings menu Press the UP/DOWN keys to scroll through the menu list Press the MODE key to edit the selected option Press the UP/DOWN keys to change the option settings Press the MODE key to save your new settings Operating Modes Adaptive Cruise Control Not Set Your vehicle operates as usual when the ACC speed is not set. The system will still emit audible and visual warnings when it detects a possible rear-end collision. CMS is active from 15-77 mph and will apply the engine retarder, reduce throttle or apply brakes if deemed necessary.

No lead vehicle detected. Cruise Control not set. Lead Vehicle detected. Adaptive Cruise Control Set When the ACC speed is set, the set cruise speed appears on the display. When a slower vehicle is detected in front of you, ACC will attempt to reduce your speed to the speed of the lead vehicle. This speed adjustment may momentarily drop lower than the lead vehicle in order to maintain a 3.6 seconds following interval between you and the vehicle ahead, when appropriate. While ACC is on, the display will emit visual and audible collision warnings, and the system will control throttle and apply engine and service brakes if needed while attempting to maintain a set following interval. Refer to the OEM operator manual for display information if the Meritor WABCO display is not used. The OnGuardACTIVE display gives you the option to change the alarm volume, LCD intensity, LCD contrast and display units. 14 WARNING: The OnGuardACTIVE Collision Mitigation System (CMS) is a driver aid only. It is designed to assist the vehicle operator in maintaining a safe following distance and, if needed, provide limited initial braking to reduce the severity of a possible collision. It is not an auto-pilot system for operating the vehicle. The OnGuardACTIVE CMS is no substitute for the most important factor in vehicle safety, which is a safe, conscientious driver. Use of OnGuardAC- TIVE CMS cannot compensate for a driver who is distracted, inattentive or impaired by fatigue, drugs or alcohol. As always, it is the driver s responsibility to: Use safe driving techniques Exercise proper judgment for the traffic, road and weather conditions Maintain a safe distance between vehicles Apply the brakes when needed to maintain control of the vehicle Whether OnGuardACTIVE CMS is in use or not, the driver is responsible for the vehicle s speed, distance between other vehicles and braking the vehicle, if necessary, to avoid a collision. Never wait for an OnGuardACTIVE CMS warning before applying the brakes. Failure to do so can result in serious personal injury or death, and/or severe property damage. WARNING: The driver is responsible for understanding the operation and limitations of the OnGuardACTIVE system before operating the vehicle. Failure to do so can result in serious personal injury or death, and/or severe property damage. Cruise Control set. No lead vehicle detected. WARNING: If the driver accelerates to a faster speed than the one set to overtake a vehicle, OnGuardAC- TIVE CMS will return to the last stored speed once the driver removes his/her foot from the accelerator pedal. The driver must be aware of the last stored speed to make sure that the vehicle can remain in control or deactivate the system. Failure to do so can result in serious personal injury or death, and/or severe property damage. WARNING: OnGuardACTIVE CMS may take a few moments to adjust to the selected speed. Adjust the speed as necessary to accommodate the current road, traffic and weather conditions. Use care to avoid dramatic acceleration or deceleration of the vehicle which can lead to a loss of control. Serious personal injury or death, and/or severe property damage can result. Cruise Control set. Lead vehicle detected. WARNING: Using the Resume option will return the vehicle to the last stored set speed. It is the driver s responsibility to be aware of what the last stored speed is and ensure it is safe and legal for the current road, traffic and weather conditions. Failure to do so can result in serious personal injury or death, and/or severe property damage. 15

Safe Vehicle Operations The OnGuardACTIVE CMS continuously conducts predefined calculations designed to alert you to potentially dangerous driving situations and provides a set following interval while utilizing ACC in most environments and driving situations that you face on a daily basis. However, multiple factors can affect set following intervals and create additional driving considerations. When operating a vehicle with the OnGuardACTIVE Collision Mitigation System, it is very important to adhere to the following: WARNING: The driver should consider the benefit/risk of using the ACC function under the following conditions: Weather such as rain, sleet, snow, ice, heavy fog, as well as smoke or dust. These conditions can make roads slippery which can cause a spinout, or block or limit the radar s distance sensing ability. Construction zones, off road, dirt roads or muddy roads with loose surface. These conditions can cause the wheels to lose traction and limit the ability of OnGuardACTIVE to provide appropriate warning and adequate braking. System Limitations The OnGuardACTIVE CMS only brakes for moving objects located directly in front of your vehicle and does not operate when your speed is less than 15 mph or more than 77 mph. Accordingly, OnGuardACTIVE : Will not react and alert you to objects crossing in front of you or oncoming traffic. Should not be relied on to track lead vehicles when traveling through a severe curve in the road. Because of this, ACC is not recommended for use on winding WARNING: Do not allow the fascia to become blocked by any foreign matter (dirt, snow, ice, stickers, deer guards, etc.), otherwise a system fault will occur and the OnGuardACTIVE system will be disabled. If the system becomes disabled, immediately inspect the OnGuardACTIVE fascia for a blockage and correct it as necessary. Whether or not the radar is working correctly, it is the driver s responsibility to apply the brakes when necessary to maintain vehicle control. Failure to do so can result in serious personal injury or death, and/or severe property damage. Curvy or winding roads, roads with sharp turns can make it difficult for the OnGuardACTIVE CMS radar to track vehicles in it s path. While in a sharp turn or if the preceding vehicle is in a sharp turn, OnGuardACTIVE may no longer track a vehicle in front of you. Your vehicle could then unexpectedly accelerate to the previously selected speed. Heavy or complicated traffic, entry and exit ramps, downhill, cross traffic and intersections. OnGuardACTIVE CMS is not capable of taking into account these complex traffic situations and respond to each scenario. It cannot (curving) roads. Should not be relied upon to track smaller objects (e.g. motorcycles, mopeds, bicycles, pedestrians, etc.) Should not be relied on to alert drivers to vehicles in an adjacent lane. WARNING: If the OnGuardACTIVE CMS is not correctly tracking vehicles that are in your lane or is tracking vehicles that are not in your lane, this may be due to radar operational issues. Typically, these are radar operational issues that can result from the following problems: Debris (dirt, snow, ice) on the radar fascia or between the fascia and the radar sen- sor. This must be removed. A loose radar sensor or one that is not tightly secured on the mounting bracket. The radar sensor may be too close to, or actually contacting, the bumper as mounted. There should be at least 1/4 inch of clearance between the fascia, radar sensor or bracket and the bumper. track traffic and objects traveling perpendicular to it s path. Driving in these conditions with OnGuardACTIVE CMS active can produce false warnings, unexpected braking or no response at all. Serious personal injury or death, and/or severe property damage can result. WARNING: The driver is responsible for understanding the operation and limitations of the OnGuardACTIVE CMS before operating the vehicle. Failure to do so can result in serious personal injury or death, and/or severe property damage. WARNING: When active Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) are present, the OnGuardACTIVE CMS may be partially or fully disabled depending on whether the DTC(s) is associated with the Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) functions or the CMS functions. If OnGuardACTIVE CMS is not functioning correctly or as expected, have the OnGuardACTIVE CMS inspected immediately to correct the issue. Whether or not the radar is working correctly, it is the driver s responsibility to apply the brakes when necessary to maintain vehicle control. Failure to do so can result in serious personal injury or death, and/or severe property damage. Follow-Distance Alert: Adaptive Cruise Control Not Set The Following-Distance Alert will provide an audible alert and the in-cab dash display screen will turn yellow if you are following a slower moving vehicle too closely at a 1.5 second interval (tailgating). This alert will end when the following distance is increased to a safe level. Follow-Distance Alert: Adaptive Cruise Control Set When you are in Cruise Control mode, the Following-Distance Alert will provide an audible alert and the in-cab dash display screen will turn yellow if the driver uses the accelerator pedal to override the ACC and approaches a vehicle too closely. The Following-Distance Alert will not provide warnings when your vehicle speed is below 15 mph or over 77 mph. WARNING: The OnGuardACTIVE system is designed to monitor the distance between your vehicle and the vehicle in front of you, moving or stationary. It may not identify a vehicle moving TOWARD it in the road. As such, the OnGuardACTIVE system will not provide engine torque control or braking. The driver must always be aware of the Collision Warning & Mitigation objects in front of his vehicle and be ready to apply the brakes, if required. Failure to apply the brakes when needed can result in an accident. WARNING: The driver is responsible for selecting a safe and legal speed setting that is appropriate for the traffic, road surface and weather conditions. Cruise Control not set. Following distance alert. Cruise Control set. Following distance alert. Adjust the speed setting as necessary when driving in reduced visibility or potentially slick conditions. Driving with the OnGuardACTIVE system at a speed that is inappropriate for following a vehicle safely can lead to an accident. Serious personal injury or death, and/or severe property damage can result. When an unforeseen event occurs, such as another vehicle enters your lane traveling at a slower speed or the closure rate between you and the vehicle in front of you is too great, OnGuardACTIVE will provide an audible alert and the display will turn red with a collision warning symbol. If the system determines that a rear-end collision is imminent, it will automatically apply the brakes to reduce the vehicle s speed. You may also feel a haptic (short brake pulse) to warn you of collision danger. The driver must also take the appropriate corrective action to avoid dangerous driving situations. Object Collision Warning Stationary Object Warning 16 17

Frequently Asked Questions Frequently Asked Questions What is Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)? How can I enable/disable it? The Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) maintains a safe following interval of 3.6 seconds between you and the vehicle ahead. When there is no moving vehicle detected ahead, the set cruise speed resumes automatically. To enable ACC, simply press the ON and Set button for cruise control in your vehicle, the same as you would using conventional cruise control. You can disengage the ACC at anytime by applying the brakes yourself, applying the clutch (if your vehicle has one), or pressing the cruise control OFF button. What is haptic warning? The OnGuardACTIVE system utilizes three alerting methods to warn drivers of a collision danger; audible, visual and haptic. The audible warning will beep while the visual warning changes the color and screen image of your OnGuardACTIVE display. The haptic warning is a quick pulse of braking felt when a collision danger is present, depending on the speed and distance of vehicles ahead. These warnings will occur when an unforeseen event occurs, such as another vehicle entering your lane and traveling slower than you are, or when the gap between you and the vehicle in front of you becomes too small. For a detailed explanation of alerts, please refer to the driver tips document available on Meritor WABCO s website. What is Active Braking? Active braking is a system-initiated brake application that can be triggered by OnGuardACTIVE without the driver s input. If OnGuardACTIVE determines that a rear-end collision is imminent and a safe evasive maneuver is no longer possible, it will automatically apply foundation brakes to help mitigate or prevent a collision. Active braking can also be triggered by ACC to maintain a safe following distance or by the stability control systems to maintain control of your vehicle during hazardous weather conditions or to reduce rollover risks. What is the difference between a stopped object and a stationary object? How does OnGuardACTIVE A stationary object is an object that was never detected as moving. When the object comes into the radar range and does not move (such as a disabled car), the radar classifies it as stationary. A stopped object is an object that was detected as moving and came to a stop. When the radar detects the object as moving and decelerates to a complete stop, the radar will classify the object as stopped. The system will provide visible and audible warnings as well as activate the CMS braking sequence if necessary to mitigate a rear-end collision for moving, stopped and stationary vehicles. How does OnGuardACTIVE compare to competition? OnGuard offers the following over competitive systems: 33% more radar range than the competition s system, resulting in earlier detection and more time to react to impending situations Wider Field of view providing improved target tracking around curves, smooth ACC execution and evasive- maneuver assists Haptic warning (short brake pulse), which triggers drivers to respond faster to dangerous situations than audible or visual warnings alone The OnGuardACTIVE radar continuously auto-aligns and auto-adjusts saving time and providing more accurate tracking A night mode option for enhanced visibility on the OnGuardACTIVE display What objects does OnGuardACTIVE warn on or actively brake on? OnGuardACTIVE warns and reacts to objects such as cars, trucks or buses that are moving in the same direction as your vehicle on the road, vehicles that have been registered as moving and are now stopped and stationary vehicles in front of you. OnGuardACTIVE will not warn or react to oncoming traffic or traffic crossing your driving lane. Is OnGuardACTIVE active while at very low speeds? Will the system react to stop-and-go traffic? OnGuardACTIVE will not react to objects when you are travelling at speeds below 15 mph to prevent slow-speed activation in heavy traffic, truck stops and rest areas. Do my brake lights come on when OnGuardACTIVE activates my brakes? Yes, your brake lights will come on when OnGuardACTIVE applies your brakes. What are Meritor WABCO s Roll Stability Control (RSC) and Electronic Stability Control (ESC) systems? Why is either one required for OnGuardACTIVE to be installed? RSC and ESC are active vehicle safety systems that assist drivers in maintaining control of the vehicle. RSC monitors conditions that can lead to a rollover, and it automatically intervenes if a high rollover risk is detected by reducing engine torque, engaging the engine retarder and if necessary, applying drive axle and trailer brakes. ESC combines RSC with the added capability of directional or rotational control to reduce the potential of jack-knifing and driftout conditions. OnGuardACTIVE utilizes the stability control systems on your vehicle to ensure your vehicle s stability during active braking in all weather conditions. How much braking power does OnGuardACTIVE apply? Will the system override the ABS system and lock up my brakes? OnGuardACTIVE applies the brakes during ACC to maintain a safe following distance and during collision mitigation when a rear-end collision is deemed unavoidable. Depending on the speed of your vehicle and the vehicle ahead, OnGuardACTIVE will calculate the braking required and will apply up to 50% of a vehicle s braking power to help in avoiding or mitigating a collision. The system utilizes the vehicle s ABS and stability system to prevent wheel lock-up and maintain control. How does the system adjust for severe and slippery weather conditions that could cause sliding or jackknifing? OnGuardACTIVE works with the Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) and stability control systems on your vehicle and therefore the braking initiated by the system is not likely to cause your vehicle to slide or jack-knife. Sometimes when cruise control is set, the vehicle slows down on its own while going around a curve even though there is no vehicle ahead, why? Vehicles equipped with OnGuardACTIVE are also equipped with a sophisticated stability control system, either SmartTrac Electronic Stability Control System (ESC) or SmartTrac Roll Stability Control System (RSC). These systems monitor the vehicle s speed and weight to determine the threshold of a potential loss of control. When the stability control system determines the vehicle is going around a curve at a speed that can cause a potential loss of control, it will reduce engine torque, apply engine brakes and if necessary apply the service brakes of the vehicle. This type of intervention can happen whether cruise control is set or not. OnGuardACTIVE sometimes gives audible warnings even though there is nothing in my lane, why? OnGuardACTIVE relies on a radar device mounted to the front of your vehicle. If the radar is not mounted correctly, has come loose or the alignment of the device is not adjusted properly, your unit could detect objects that may not be in your vehicle s intended path. You should check the OnGuardACTIVE device in your pre- and post-trip inspection for proper mounting, or broken or loose mounting brackets. Any issues should be reported to your fleet manager. What do I do if I get an OnGuardACTIVE System Error Notification? Can I still drive? If you receive an OnGuardACTIVE System Error Notification, your display will turn amber and a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) will appear. While your vehicle will still be operable, certain OnGuardACTIVE functions such as standard cruise control and CMS will not be available. It is recommended that you find a safe place to park and turn off the ignition for one to three minutes. This will reboot your systems and should correct most errors. If the condition persists, you should contact your fleet manager to review the issue. Any DTC information should be recorded for troubleshooting purposes. 18 19

WARNING: If a potential collision is developing and the driver does not take action to decelerate the vehicle, the OnGuardACTIVE CMS sounds an alert, automatically de-throttles the engine, and sends a message to the ABS ECU requesting foundation brake application to provide up to 0.35g of braking power. (For information about the ABS system, refer to the latest ABS maintenance manual available from Literature On Demand at www.meritorwabco.com.) The driver must still apply the brakes to provide additional braking force to help avoid an accident. Failure to apply the brakes when necessary can result in serious personal injury or death, and/or severe property damage. WARNING: The OnGuardACTIVE CMS requires time to recognize an object or potential obstacle. An object moving at a speed of approximately 20 mph or more may not be recognized in enough time to produce a warning or brake the vehicle. Never wait for the OnGuardACTIVE CMS to intervene when a potentially hazardous situation arises. The driver must always monitor traffic and apply the brakes, if needed, to avoid a crash. Failure to do so can result in serious personal injury or death, and/or severe property damage. At Meritor WABCO, Safety Matters * FLEETS REPORT...
