2018 Acura TLX Owners Manual - Collision Mitigation Braking System™ (CMBS™)



Collision Mitigation Braking System™ (CMBS™)

Collision Mitigation Braking System™ (CMBS™)

Can alert you when a potential frontal collision with a vehicle or pedestrian is determined and reduce your vehicle speed when a collision is deemed unavoidable to help minimize collision severity.

The system provides visual and audible alerts if you do not take appropriate action to avoid a collision.

Alert Stages

The system has three alert stages for a possible collision. Depending on the circumstances or CMBS settings, CMBS may not go through all of the stages before initiating the last stage.

Stage 1: Visual warnings and audible warnings

Stage 2: Visual warnings, audible warning, and light brake application

Stage 3: Visual warnings, audible warning, and strong brake application

Turning CMBS On or Off

Press and hold the CMBS OFF button. A message appears in the MID, and the CMBS indicator appears when the system is off.

Changing Settings

See "Forward Collision Warning (FCW) with Pedestrian Detection" for how to change CMBS settings. Options include Long, Normal (default), and Short. Use the CMBS OFF button to turn the system off.

Important Safety Reminder

CMBS is designed to help avoid collisions by automatically stopping the vehicle when possible, and to reduce the severity of an unavoidable collision. It is still your responsibility to operate the brake pedal and steering wheel appropriately according to the driving conditions.
