Overview
If equipped
The collision Mitigation braking
system
™ (CMBS™) can assist the
driver when there is a possibility
of colliding with the vehicle in
front of yours. It is designed to
reduce the speed of your vehicle
before an unavoidable collision
occurs and, if possible, to alert you
to a potential collision while there
is time for the driver to prevent it.
Here is a brief description of what
the CMBS can do:
When your speed is above 10 mph
(15 km/h), the CMBS is monitoring
the vehicle ahead of you with radar.
When your vehicle is approaching
the vehicle ahead of yours too
quickly, the system may activate one
or more of the following: a visual
alert, an audible alert, apply the
brakes and e-pretensioners to tighten
the front seat belts - first as a
warning, then to prepare for an
impending crash. (see page
24 ).
The CMBS consists of a radar
sensor in the front grille, a brake
actuator in the engine compartment,
an indicator on the instrument
panel, seat belt e-pretensioners on
the front seats, and an on/off button
on the dashboard.
