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
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.
