Overview
The collision mitigation brake
system (CMBS) assists your braking
operation by automatically applying
an appropriate amount of braking
force to help you avoid or minimize
the chances of hitting a vehicle
ahead of you in traffic. Here is a
brief description of what the CMBS
does:
When your speed is above 10 mph
(15 km/h), the CMBS radar
sensor in the front grille can sense
a vehicle ahead of you. When your
vehicle gets too close to the
vehicle ahead of you, the system
activates a warning beep, causes
automatic application of the
brakes, and causes the
e-pretensioners to tighten the
front seat belts (see page
The CMBS does not activate if the
speed difference between your
vehicles is less than 10 mph (15
km/h). CMBS may also not
activate if you turn the steering
wheel to avoid the collision.
When CMBS activates its automatic
brake, it also turns the brake lights
on.
