Collision Mitigation Braking System

(CMBS

Driving

Collision Mitigation Braking System

(CMBS

)

The system can assist you when it determines there is a possibility of your vehicle
colliding with a vehicle or a pedestrian detected in front of your vehicle. The CMBS

is designed to alert you when the potential for a collision is determined, as well as to
reduce your vehicle speed to help minimize collision severity when a collision is
deemed unavoidable.

■

How the system works

Collision Mitigation Braking System

(CMBS

)

Important Safety Reminder

The CMBS

is designed to reduce the severity of an

unavoidable collision. It does not prevent a collision nor
stop the vehicle automatically. It is still your
responsibility to operate the brake pedal and steering
wheel appropriately according to the driving conditions.

The CMBS

may not activate or may not detect a

vehicle in front of your vehicle under certain conditions:

CMBS

Conditions and Limitations

P. 498

For directions on the proper handling of the radar
sensor, refer to the following page.

Radar Sensor

P. 535

You can read about handling information for the
camera equipped with this system.

Front Sensor Camera

P. 533

How the system works

Rapid vibrations on the steering wheel alert you
when your vehicle speed is between 19 and 62 mph
(30 and 100 km/h) with an oncoming vehicle
detected in front of you.

When the CMBS

activates, it may automatically

apply the brake. It will be canceled when your vehicle
stops or a potential collision is not determined.

The system starts monitoring the roadway ahead when your vehicle speed is about
3 mph (5 km/h) or above and will search for a vehicle in front of you.

The radar sensor is
behind the emblem.

The CMBS

activates when:

●

The speed difference between your vehicle and a vehicle or pedestrian
detected in front of you becomes about 3 mph (5 km/h) and 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 or a pedestrian in front of you.

The camera is
located behind the
rearview mirror.

Vibration alert on the steering wheel

When a potential collision to an oncoming detected vehicle is determined, the
system alerts you with rapid vibration on the steering wheel, in addition to visual and
audible alerts.

Take appropriate action to prevent a collision (apply the brakes, operate the
steering wheel, etc.).

When the system activates

The camera in the CMBS

is also designed to detect

pedestrians.
However, this pedestrian detection feature may not
activate or may not detect a pedestrian in front of
your vehicle under certain conditions.
Refer to the ones indicating the pedestrian detection
limitations from the list.

Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)

Driving

Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)

Helps maintain a constant vehicle speed and a set following-interval behind a vehicle
detected ahead of yours, without you having to keep your foot on the brake or the
accelerator.

Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)

ACC cannot be activated if Intelligent Traction
Management setting is snow, sand

or mud

WARNING

Improper use of ACC can lead to a crash.
Use ACC only when driving on expressways
or freeways and in good road and weather
conditions.

WARNING

ACC has limited braking capability.

When your vehicle speed drops below
22 mph (35 km/h), ACC will automatically
cancel and no longer will apply your
vehicle's brakes.

Always be prepared to apply the brake
pedal when conditions require.

When to use

■

Vehicle speed for adaptive cruise control: Desired speed in a

range above roughly 25 mph (40 km/h)

When not using ACC: Turn off adaptive cruise by
pressing the

P. 118

Do not use ACC under the following conditions:

•

On roads with heavy traffic or while driving in
continuous stop and go traffic.

•

On roads with sharp turns.

•

On roads with steep downhill sections, as the set
vehicle speed can be exceeded by coasting. In such
cases, ACC will not apply the brakes to maintain
the set speed.

•

On roads with toll collection facilities or other
objects between lanes of traffic, or in parking
areas, or facilities with drive through access.

There is a vehicle ahead

ACC monitors if a vehicle ahead of you enters the ACC range. If a vehicle is detected
doing so, the ACC system maintains or decelerates your vehicle’s set speed in order
to keep the vehicle’s set following-interval from the vehicle ahead.

When in Operation

When in Operation

If the vehicle detected ahead of you slows down
abruptly, or if another vehicle is detected cutting in
front of you, the beeper sounds and a message
appears on the driver information interface.

Depress the brake pedal, and keep an appropriate
interval from the vehicle ahead.
