Acura 2008 RL - Manual (Page 367)

The CMBS does not activate if the
speed difference between your
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 collision mitigation brake
system (CMBS) 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
).
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.
