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
™
CMBS is designed to alert you when a
potential collision is determined, as well as
to reduce your vehicle speed to help
minimize collision severity when a collision
is deemed unavoidable.
n Alert Stages
The system has three alert stages for a possible collision. Depending on the
™
circumstances or CMBS settings, CMBS
stages before initiating the last stage.
Stage 1: Visual and audible warning.
Stage 2: Visual and audible warning, light brake application.
Stage 3: Visual and audible warning, strong brake application.

in the Multi-Information Display. The
™
CMBS indicator appears when the

n Important Safety Reminder
CMBS is designed to reduce the severity of an unavoidable collision. It does
not prevent collisions nor stop the vehicle automatically. It is still your
responsibility to operate the brake pedal and steering wheel appropriately
according to the driving conditions.

lanes.

Like all assistance systems, the Blind Spot Information System has
limitations. Over-reliance on the system may result in a collision. The
system is for your convenience only.
Failure to visually confirm that it is safe to change lanes before doing so
may result in a crash and serious injury or death. Do not rely only on the
blind spot information system when changing lanes.
Always look in your mirrors, to either side of your vehicle, and behind you
for other vehicles before changing lanes.
