Collision Mitigation Braking System - Acura MDX Owner's Manual

Collision Mitigation Braking System

Can assist you when there is a possibility of your vehicle colliding with a vehicle
detected in front of yours. The CMBS
collision is determined, as well as to reduce your vehicle speed when a collision is
deemed unavoidable to help minimize collision severity.
■
How the system works
A radar sensor starts to monitor if there is a vehicle in front of you when your
vehicle speed is above about 10 mph (15 km/h).
The radar sensor is
in the front grille.
The CMBS TM activates when the speed difference between your vehicle and a
vehicle detected in front of you becomes more than about 10 mph (15 km/h) with
a chance of a collision.

Important Safety Reminder
The CMBS TM is designed to reduce the severity of an
unavoidable collision. It does not prevent a collision
nor stop the vehicle automatically. It is still your
responsibility to operate the brake pedal and steering
wheel appropriately according to the driving
conditions.
The CMBS TM may not activate or may not detect a
vehicle in front of your vehicle under the following
conditions:
•
The distance between your vehicle and the vehicle
ahead of you is too short.
•
A vehicle cuts in front of you at a slow speed, and
it brakes suddenly.
•
When you accelerate rapidly and approach the
vehicle ahead of you at high speed.
•
The vehicle ahead of you is a motorcycle or other
small vehicle.
•
A vehicle suddenly crosses in front of you.
•
When you drive on a curved or winding road that
makes it difficult for the sensor to properly detect a
vehicle in front of you.
•
When there are pedestrians or animals in front of
your vehicle.
