Overview
If equipped
The collision mitigation braking
system
TM (CMBS TM ) can assist you
when there is a possibility of your
vehicle hitting the vehicle in front of
you. 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 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 radar
sensor in the front grille can sense
a vehicle ahead of you. When your
vehicle gets too close to the
vehicle ahead of you, the system
may activate a warning beep,
causing automatic application of
the brakes, and causing the e-
pretensioners to tighten the front
seat belts (see page 24).
●
The CMBS does not activate if the
speed difference between the two
vehicles is less than 10 mph (15
km/h). CMBS may also not
activate if you turn the steering
wheel to avoid the collision.
When the CMBS activates, the brake
lights also come on.
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 switch on the
dashboard.
