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.

Driving
Low Speed Braking Control*
Using sonar sensors located on the front an d rear bumpers, this system detects if 
there is danger of a potential collision with a wall or other obstacle during normal 
driving or when the accelerator pedal is de pressed with too much force. The system 
then assists in avoiding collisions an d reducing damage from impact through 
assistive braking and/or assistive driving power suppression.1 Low Speed Braking Control*
If the Low Speed Braking  Control activates in a 
situation where you do not  want automatic brake 
application (such as when  the vehicle is between two 
railroad crossing gates), simply press the brake pedal 
to deactivate the system and then continue to drive 
as intended.
3WARNING
The Low Speed Braking Control System 
cannot avoid all collisions and may not 
reduce damage in each situation where the 
accelerator is mistaken ly or aggressively 
pressed. Overreliance on the system may 
result in a collision with serious injury or 
death. Always check your surroundings, 
your shift position, and your pedal use.
Driver remains responsible for safely 
operating the vehicle.

■Assistive braking
Assistive braking provides a  visual and audible alert when the vehicle is moving 
between approximately 1 and 6  mph (2 and 10 km/h) and there is the possibility of 
a collision with a detected wall or other ob stacles, as well as providing assistance 
with braking.
If the only rear sensors are turned off usi ng the parking sensor system, the assistive 
braking is not working when reversing.

The vehicle will release the brake and start moving a 
few seconds after the system  is activated. To keep the 
vehicle stopped, keep the  brake pedal depressed or 
put the transmission into

In order to prevent the sy stem from activating when 
not needed, always turn it off during vehicle 
maintenance, when loading on ships, trucks, and so 
on, or when using a chassis dynamometer, free 
rollers for inspection or when washing the car in 
conveyor type car wash machine.Audible Alert

■Assistive driving power suppression
When the vehicle is stopped or moving at less than 6 mph (10 km/h) and there is an 
obstacle such as a wall detected near the  front of or back of the vehicle, if the 
accelerator pedal is depressed more than  necessary, the system will inform you with 
a visual and audible alert. At the same ti me, the system will prevent sudden forward 
or backwards movement by limiting the outpu t of the engine, then assistive braking 
will activate nearby the obstacle.
Assistive driving power suppr ession will not activate in the following situations.
When moving forward:
When on a steep slope or the shift position is in 
(P, (R, or (N.
When reversing:
When on a steep slope or the shift  position is in a position other than 
(R.
If the only rear sensors are turned off using the parking sensor system, the assistive 
driving power suppression is  not working when reversing.

Driving
Conditions for assistive driving power suppression.
• When the accelerator is no longer depressed.
• When the accelerator is depressed for approximately four seconds.
• When the brake pedal is depressed.
• When the steering wheel is tu rned and a collision avoided.
Conditions for assistive braking cancellation.
• A certain amount of time ha s passed since activation.
The system may not operate correct ly in the following conditions:
■Examples of obstacles the sonar sensor cannot detect
• Obstacles that do not refl ect sound waves well, such as people, snow, cloth, 
sponges, etc.
• Thin obstacles such  as fences, bicycles, sign posts, etc.
• Short or small obstacles.
• Obstacles immediately in front of the bumper.
• Moving objects or obstacles that suddenly enter the road.
• Obstacles that are not pe rpendicular to the ground.
■Conditions for Cancellation
■Low Speed Braking Control System Conditions and Limitations
1Conditions for Cancellation
After Low Speed Braking Control has activated once, 
it will not activate again for the same obstacle.
They can be activated again  after driving for a certain 
distance after last activation.
Low Speed Braking Control ac tivates separately when 
moving forward and reversing.  (For example, if it 
activates when moving forwar d, it can be activated 
again immediately if reversing.)
However, if assistive braking has been activated, in 
order to activate assistiv e driving power suppression 
again, it is necessary to drive for a certain distance to 
reset the system.

■Examples of situations where the sonar sensor cannot detect obstacles
• The sonar sensor is dirty (cover ed by snow, water, mud, etc.).
• The vehicle is too hot or cold.
• The steering wheel is turned sharply when  approaching the obstacle at an angle.
■Examples of other cases where the system may not work correctly
• The vehicle is tilted due to heavy load or su spension modifications.
• An abnormal tire or wheel condition (inco rrect sizes, varied sizes or construction, 
improperly inflated, co mpact spare tire, etc.).
• Bad weather conditions such as heav y rain, fog, snow, sandstorms, etc.
• The ambient temperature/humidity is too high or low.
• When going down a very steep slope.
• When close to other vehicles with sonar sensors or other objects that emit 
ultrasonic waves.
■Situations where the system may acti vate even without risk of a collision
• When passing through short or narrow gates.
• When driving on uneven surfaces, grassy areas, or places with steps.
• When a sloped pillar or wall is protruding from a high position.
• When there are obstacles next to the road.
• When driving toward flags, curtains, tre e branches, railroad crossing bars, etc.
• When driving on flooded roads.

The corner and center sensors monitor  obstacles around your vehicle, and the 
beeper, driver information interface and audio/informatio n screen let you know the 
approximate distance between your vehicle and the obstacle.
■The sensor location and range
1 Parking Sensor System*
Even when the system is on, always confirm if there is 
no obstacle near your ve hicle before parking.
The system may not  work properly when:
•The sensors are covered with snow, ice, mud or 
dirt.
•The vehicle is on uneven su rface, such as grass, 
bumps, or a hill.
•The vehicle has been out  in hot or cold weather.•The system is affected by devices that emit 
ultrasonic waves.
•Driving in bad weather.
The system may not sense:
•Thin or low objects.•Sonic-absorptive materials,  such as snow, cotton, 
or sponge.
•Objects directly under the bumper.
Do not put any accessories on or around the sensors.
