Canceling ACC
You can press CANCEL or MAIN, or press the brake
pedal. The ACC indicator goes off.
Certain conditions may cause ACC to cancel
automatically. When this happens, the amber ACC
indicator appears on the multi-information display
(see page 22).
After cruise control has been canceled, you can still resume the prior set speed by
pressing RES/ACCEL when your vehicle speed is over 25 mph (40 km/h).
When in Operation
If a vehicle is detected ahead of you when ACC is
turned on, the system maintains, accelerates, or
decelerates your vehicle’s set speed to keep the
vehicle’s set following distance from the vehicle
ahead.
If a vehicle detected ahead of you slows down
abruptly, or if another vehicle cuts in front of you,
a beep sounds and BRAKE appears on the multi-
information display to alert you.
Improper use of ACC can lead to a crash.
Use ACC only when traveling on open highways in good weather.
WARNING
ACC has limited braking capability.
When your vehicle speed drops below 22 mph, ACC will automatically cancel
and no longer will apply your vehicle’s brakes.
Always be prepared to apply the brake pedal when conditions require.
WARNING

detected lane markings without a turn
signal activated, a message appears in
the MID.
Steering wheel torque and vibrations
are applied to help your vehicle stay in
the lane. Braking may also be applied if
the lane lines are solid and continuous.
If the system operates several times without detecting driver response, the system
beeps to alert you.

Turning CMBS On or Off
Press and hold the CMBS OFF button. A beep
sounds and a message appears in the MID. The
CMBS indicator appears when the system is off.
Important Safety Reminder
CMBS™ is designed to reduce the severity of an unavoidable collision. It does not
prevent 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.Collision Mitigation Braking System™ (CMBS™)*
Can assist you when there is a possibility of your vehicle colliding with a vehicle or a
pedestrian detected in front of yours.
The system can alert you when a
potential collision is determined, and
reduce your vehicle speed to help
minimize collision severity when a
collision is deemed unavoidable.
The system activates when:
• The speed difference between your vehicle and a vehicle or pedestrian detected in
front of you is 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.
Alert Stages
The system has three alert stages for a possible collision. Depending on the
circumstances or CMBS settings, CMBS may not go through all of the stages
before initiating the last stage.
Stage 1: Visual warnings and audible warning
Stage 2: Visual warnings, audible warning, and light brake application
Stage 3: Visual warnings, audible warning, and strong brake application
