Radar Sensor
The radar sensor is located under the
Acura emblem in the front grille. If
the radar sensor cover is covered
with mud, dirt, dead leaves, wet
snow, etc., or if you put a sticker on
it, the CMBS will automatically shut
off, and the CMBS indicator on the
instrument panel will come on. You
will also see a
‘‘CHECK CMBS
RADAR SENSOR
’’ message on the
multi-information display for about 5
seconds.
Always keep the radar sensor cover
clean. If it gets dirty, clean it with
water or a mild detergent. Never use
chemical solvents or polishing
powder.
There are three bolts on the sides of
the radar sensor. Do not tamper with
these bolts, or you may cause the
system to malfunction.
Do not allow anything to impact the
radar sensor or the radar sensor
cover. If either of these parts receives
a strong impact, turn off the system
by pressing the CMBS off switch,
and have your vehicle checked by a
dealer. If the front grille ever needs
to be repaired, consult a dealer first.
If the radar sensor cover or the radar
sensor ever needs to be removed,
take your vehicle to a dealer.
When the CMBS is on, the radar sensor
constantly scans for vehicles ahead of
you. This means that driving on a road
with a few or no vehicles could cause a
CHECK CMBS RADAR SENSOR
message to appear on the multi-
information display. This is normal and
not a cause for concern.
