Crash management system (CMS)
CMS concept
Model series 451 features a bolt-on crash manage-
ment system at the front and rear in the smart fortwo
coupé and smart fortwo cabrio.
To prevent damage, the front CMS is mounted on the
longitudinal frame member and the rear CMS on the
frame-type integral support.
The CMS is a specially shaped steel profile that
absorbs impact energy at a defined rate in the low
vehicle speed range up to approx. 10 mph (16 km/h).
