Collision Mitigation Braking System™ (CMBS)

Can assist you when there is a possibility of your vehicle colliding with a vehicle or a pedestrian detected in front of yours. The CMBS™ is designed to alert you when a potential collision is determined, as well as to reduce your vehicle speed to help minimize collision severity when a collision is deemed unavoidable.

The system provides visual and audible alerts of a possible collision, and stops if the collision is avoided.

The system activates when:

  • The speed difference between your vehicle and a vehicle or pedestrian detected in front of you is about 3 mph (5 km/h) and over with a chance of a collision.

  • Your vehicle speed is about 62 mph (100 km/h) or less and there is a chance of a collision with an oncoming detected vehicle or a pedestrian in front of you.

  • Alert Stages
  • Changing Settings
  • Turning the System On or Off

■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 and audible warning.
Stage 2: Visual and audible warning, light brake application.
Stage 3: Visual and audible warning, strong brake application.

■Important Safety Reminder

CMBS is designed to reduce the severity of an unavoidable collision. It does not prevent collisions nor stop the vehicle automatically. It is still your responsibility to operate the brake pedal and steering wheel appropriately according to the driving conditions.
