Collision Mitigation
Braking System
TM
(CMBS
TM) (P486)
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
TM 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.
Low Speed Braking
Control
* (P497)
Using sonar sensors lo cated on the front and
rear bumpers, this system detects if there is
danger of a potential collision with a wall or
other obstacle during normal driving. The
system then assists in av oiding collisions and
reducing damage from impact through
assistive braking.
