Collision Mitigation Braking System (Cmbs ); Tm Tm - Acura 2011 RL Owner's Manual

Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS )

If equipped
Overview
The collision mitigation braking
system (CMBS ) can assist the TM TM
driver when there is a possibility of
colliding with the vehicle in front of
yours. It is designed to reduce the
speed of your vehicle before an
unavoidable collision occurs and, if
possible, to alert you to a potential
collision while there is time for the
driver to prevent it. Here is a brief
description of what the CMBS can
do:

TM TM
When your speed is above 10 mph
(15 km/h), the CMBS is monitoring
the vehicle ahead of you with radar.
When your vehicle is approaching
the vehicle ahead of yours too
quickly, the system may activate one
or more of the following: a visual
alert, an audible alert, apply the
brakes and e-pretensioners to
tighten the front seat belts
a warning, then to prepare for an
impending crash (see page

ACTUATOR
The CMBS consists of a radar
sensor in the front grille, a brake
actuator in the engine compartment,
an indicator on the instrument panel,
seat belt e-pretensioners on the front
seats, and an on/off button on the
dashboard.
