Collision Mitigation Braking System ™ (Cmbs ™ ) - Honda 2017 Civic Hatch Owner's Manual

DRIVING
Collision Mitigation Braking System
Can assist you when there is a possibility of your vehicle colliding with a vehicle or a
pedestrian detected in front of yours.
The system can give you visual, audible, and tactile
alerts when a potential collision is determined, and
reduce your vehicle speed to help minimize collision
severity when a collision is deemed unavoidable.
When a potential collision with a detected oncoming
vehicle is determined, the system also alerts you with
rapid vibrations on the steering wheel.
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
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 and light brake application
Stage 3: visual and audible warning and strong brake application
Changing Settings
Determine the warning timing.
1. From the HoMe screen, select Settings.
2. Select vehicle. The vehicle must be in Park (P).
3. Select Driver Assist System Setup.
4. Select Forward Collision Warning Distance.
5. Select Long, Normal, or Short.

operate the brake pedal and steering wheel appropriately according to the driving
conditions.
