uuBrakinguAnti-lock Brake System (ABS)
Driving
Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) 
Helps prevent the wheels from locking up, and helps you retain steering control by 
pumping the brakes rapidly, much faster than you. 
The electronic brake distribu tion (EBD) system, which is part of the ABS, also 
balances the front-to-rear braking distribution according to vehicle loading.
You should never pump the brake pedal.  Let the ABS work for you by always 
keeping firm, steady pressure on the brake pe dal. This is sometimes referred to as 
“stomp and steer.” ■ ABS operation
The brake pedal may pulsate slightly when  the ABS is working. Keep holding the 
pedal firmly down. On dry pavement, you will need to press on the brake pedal very  
hard before the ABS activates. However,  you may feel the ABS activate immediately 
if you are trying to stop on snow or ice. 
When the vehicle speed goes under  6 mph (10 km/h), the ABS stops.
■ABS1Anti-lock Brake System (ABS)
NOTICE
The ABS may not function correctly if you use an  
incorrect tire type and size. 
When the ABS indicator comes on while driving, 
there may be a problem with the system. 
While normal braking is not affected, there is a 
possibility of the ABS not  operating. Have the vehicle 
checked by a dealer immediately. 
The ABS does not reduce the ti me or distance it takes 
to stop the vehicle. It only  helps with steering control 
during hard braking. 
In the following cases, yo ur vehicle may need more 
stopping distance than a  vehicle without the ABS:
• When driving on rough road surfaces, including  
when driving on uneven surf aces, such as gravel or 
snow.
• When snow chains are installed.
You may hear a motor sound coming from the 
engine compartment while system checks are being 
performed immediately after starting the engine or  
while driving. This is normal.

Driving
Collision Mitigation Braking System TM
 (CMBS TM
)*
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 TM
 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.
■ How the system works
1Collision Mitigation Braking System TM
 (CMBS TM
)*
Important Safety Reminder 
The CMBS TM
 is designed to reduce the severity of an 
unavoidable collision. It doe s not prevent collision nor 
stop the vehicle automatically. It is still your 
responsibility to  operate the brake  pedal and steering 
wheel appropriately acco rding to the driving 
conditions. 
The CMBS TM
 may not activate or may not detect a 
vehicle in front of y our vehicle under certain 
conditions:
2 CMBS TM
 Conditions and Limitations  P. 457
You can read about handling information for the  
camera equipped with this system. 2 Front Sensor Camera *
 P. 408
Be careful not to have the  radar sensor cover strongly 
impacted.
1How 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 TM
 activates, it  may automatically 
apply the brake. It will be  canceled when your vehicle 
stops or a potential coll ision is not determined.
The radar sensor is in  
the lower bumper next 
to the fog light*
.
The camera is located 
behind the rearview mirror.
The system starts monitoring the roadway ah ead when your vehicle speed is about 
3 mph (5 km/h) and there is a vehicle in front of you.
When to use
The CMBS TM
 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 ve hicle or a pedestrian in front of you.
