CMBS TM (Collision Mitigation Braking System TM ) *
Can assist you when there is a possibility of your vehicle colliding with the vehicle in
front of yours. The CMBS
TM is designed to alert you, then reduce your vehicle speed
when a possible collision is likely unavoidable to help minimize collision severity.

Important Safety Reminder
The CMBS
TM is designed to reduce the severity of an
unavoidable collision. It does not prevent collision nor
stop the vehicle automatically. It is still your
responsibility to operate the brake pedal and steering
wheel appropriately according to the driving
conditions.
The CMBS TM may not activate or may not detect a
vehicle in front of your vehicle under the following
conditions:
• The distance between your vehicle and the vehicle
ahead of you is too short.
• A vehicle cuts in front of you at a slow speed, and
it brakes suddenly.
• When you accelerate rapidly and approach the
vehicle ahead of you at high speed.
• The vehicle ahead of you is a motorcycle or other
small vehicle.
• A vehicle suddenly crosses in front of you.
• When you drive on a curved or winding road that
makes it difficult for the sensor to properly detect a
vehicle in front of you.
• When there are pedestrians or animals in front of
your vehicle.
A radar sensor starts to detect if there is a vehicle in front of you when your vehicle
speed is above 10 mph (15 km/h).
The radar sensor is under the
emblem in the front grille.
The CMBS TM activates when the speed difference between the two vehicles
becomes more than 10 mph (15 km/h) with a chance of a collision.
A visual alert or a combination of a visual
alert and an audible alert for a possible
collision.
