■Vehicle conditions
• The outside of the windshield is blocked by dirt, mud, leaves, wet snow, etc.
• An abnormal tire or wheel condition (Wrong size, varied size or construction, 
improperly inflated, co mpact spare tire, etc.).

uuBraking uCollision Mitigation Braking SystemTM (CMBSTM)*
Continued
Driving
• When there is a group of people in front of your vehicle walking together side by 
side.
• Surrounding conditions or belongings of the pedestrian alter the pedestrian’s 
shape, preventing the system from recogn izing that the person is a pedestrian.
• When the pedestrian is shorte r than about 3.3 feet (1 meter) or taller than about 
6.6 feet (2 meters) in height.
• When a pedestrian blends in with the background.
• When a pedestrian is bent over or squatting, or when their hands are raised or 
they are running.
• When several pedestrians are walking ahead in a group.
• When the camera cannot correctly identify  that a pedestrian is present due to an 
unusual shape (holding luggage, body position, size).
■Automatic shutoff
The CMBS may automatically shut itself o ff and the CMBS indicator comes and stays 
on when:
• The temperature inside the system is high.
• You drive off-road or on a mountain road, or curved and winding road for an 
extended period.
• An abnormal tire condition is detected  (wrong tire size, flat tire, etc.).
• The camera behind the rearview mirror, or the area around the camera, including 
the windshield, gets dirty.
Once the conditions that caused the CMBS to shut off improve or are addressed 
(e.g., cleaning), the system comes back on.
Limitations applicable to  pedestrian detection only
