Collision Mitigation Braking SystemTM (CMBSTM)
Can assist you when there is a possibility of your vehicle colliding with a vehicle or a
pedestrian detected in front of yours. The CMBSTM 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
1 Collision Mitigation Braking SystemTM (CMBSTM)
Important Safety Reminder
The CMBS
TM 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 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. 415
You can read about handling information for the
camera equipped with this system. 2 Front Sensor Camera P. 365
Be careful not to have the radar sensor cover strongly
impacted.
1 How the system works
Rapid vibrations on the steering wheel alert you
when the 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 front grille.
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 CMBSTM 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 system has three alert stages for a possible collis ion. However, depending on circumstances, the CMBSTM may not go through all of
the stages before initiating the last stage.

uuChecking and Maintaining Tires uDOT Tire Quality Grading (U.S. Vehicles)
450
Maintenance
The traction grades, from highest to lowest, are AA, A, B, and C.
Those grades represent the tire’s ability to stop on wet pavement
as measured under controlled conditions on specified
government test surfaces of asphalt and concrete. A tire marked
C may have poor traction performance.
The temperature grades are A (the highest), B, and C,
representing the tire’s resistance to the generation of heat and its
ability to dissipate h eat when tested under controlled conditions
on a specified indoor laboratory test wheel. Sustained high
temperature can cause the material of the tire to degenerate and
reduce tire life, and excessive temp erature can lead to sudden tire
failure. The grade C corresponds to a level of performance which
all passenger car tires must meet under the Federal Motor Vehicle
Safety Standard No. 109. Grades B and A represent higher levels
of performance on the laboratory test wheel than the minimum
required by law.
■Traction
■Temperature
1 Traction
Warning: The traction grade
assigned to this tire is based on
straight-ahead braking traction tests,
and does not include acceleration,
cornering, hydroplaning, or peak
traction characteristics.
1Temperature
Warning: The temperature grade for
this tire is establishe d for a tire that is
properly inflated and not
overloaded. Excessive speed,
underinflation, or excessive loading,
either separately or in combination,
can cause heat buildup and possible
tire failure.

Handling the Unexpected
If Hydrogen Gas is Leaking
How to Handle Leaked Hydrogen Gas
When the hydrogen leak indicator comes on,
hydrogen gas is leaking.
When a hydrogen gas leak is detected, the
warning buzzer sounds, and warning
indicator comes on. Follow the message
displayed on the driver information interface
and contact an authorized Honda Clarity Fuel
Cell dealer.
2 Hydrogen Leak Indicator P. 88
Even when the warning indicator does not
come on, if you notice gas leaking noises or
any other malfunction, immediately stop the
vehicle in a safe, well-ventilated place, turn
the power system off, and immediately
contact an authorized Honda Clarity Fuel Cell
dealer.
■When Hydrogen Gas Leak or Other Malfunction is Detected1 How to Handle Leaked Hydrogen Gas
3WARNING
Since hydrogen gas is highly flammable, a
hydrogen gas leak is extremely dangerous
as the leaked gas, which is dispersed into
the atmosphere, can ignite, resulting in a
fire in which you or someone else can be
serious injured or killed. Keep flammable
materials and liquids aw ay from the vehicle
at all times, especially if a hydrogen gas
leak is detected.
In the case of a hydrogen gas leak, a buzzer
will sound and the hydrogen gas leak
indicator will come on. If you are driving
the vehicle, sto p in a safe, well-ventilated
place. Then turn th e power mode to OFF
and contact an author ized Honda Clarity
Fuel Cell dealer at once. You should also
display signs warning of the danger and be
aware of and keep away anything that
could ignite the gas.
The system is designed so that in the event
that the vehicle catche s fire, the gas inside
the tanks will be released through the tank
valves, thereby ensuring that pressure (due
to heat from the fire) within the tanks does
not build up.
