Collision Mitigation Braking System ™ (Cmbs ™ ); Parking Sensor System - Acura RDX 2018 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 alert you when a potential
collision is determined, and reduce your vehicle
speed to help minimize collision severity when a
collision is deemed unavoidable.
The system activates when:
• The speed difference between your vehicle
and a vehicle detected in front of you is about
3 mph (5 km/h) or 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.
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 warning and audible warning
Stage 2: Visual warning, audible warning, and light brake application
Stage 3: Visual warning, audible warning, and strong brake application
Changing Settings

2. Select Vehicle Settings, Select Driver Assist System Setup. The vehicle must be
in Park (P).

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