uuHonda Sensing ®u Collision Mitigation Braking SystemTM (CMBSTM)
Driving
The system has three alert stages for a possible collision. However, depending on circumstances, the CMBSTM may not go through all of
the stages before initiating the last stage.

Stage oneThere is a risk of a collision with

longer distance from a vehicle
ahead than in Normal setting,
and in Short, at a shorter
distance than in Normal.

Driving
When you turn the CMBSTM on and off, do the
following.
1. Press the safety support switch.
2. Press the / button to select
symbol, then press ENTER.
u A tick appears in the box and the color of
the symbol changes green when the
system is on. The tick disappear and the
color of the symbol changes gray
when the system is off.
The CMBS
TM is turned on every time you start
the engine, even if you turned it off the last
time you drove the vehicle.
■CMBSTM On and Off1 CMBSTM On and Off
The CMBS
TM may automatically shut off, and the
safety support indicator (amb er) will come and stay
on under certain conditions: 2 CMBS
TM Conditions and Limitations P. 594
When the CMBS
TM is activated, it will continue to
operate even if the accele rator pedal is partially
depressed. However, it w ill be canceled if the
accelerator pedal is deeply depressed.
Have your vehicle checked by a dealer if you find any
unusual behavior of the system (e.g., the warning
message appears too frequently).

The system may automatically shut off and the safety support indicator (amber) will
come on under certain conditions. Some ex amples of these conditions are listed
below. Other conditions may reduce some of the CMBS
TM functions.

■Environmental conditions
• Driving in bad weather (rain, fog, snow, etc.).
• Sudden changes between light and dark, such as an entrance or exit of a tunnel.
• There is little contrast between objects and the background.
• Driving into low sunlight (e.g., at dawn or dusk).
• Strong light is reflected onto the roadway.
• Driving in the shadows of trees, buildings, etc.
• Roadway objects or structures are misint erpreted as vehicles and pedestrians.
• Reflections on the interi or of the windshield.
• Driving at night or in a dark condition such as a tunnel.
■Roadway conditions
• Driving on a snowy or wet roadway (obs cured lane marking, vehicle tracks,
reflected lights, road spray, high contrast).
• Driving on curvy, winding, or undulating roads.
• The road is hilly or the vehicle is approaching the crest of a hill.

■Vehicle conditions
• Headlight lenses are dirty or the h eadlights are not properly adjusted.
• The outside of the windshield is blocked by dirt, mud, leaves, wet snow, etc.
• The inside of the windshield is fogged.
• An abnormal tire or wheel condition (wrong size, varied size or construction,
improperly inflated, co mpact spare tire, etc.).
• When tire chains are installed.
• The vehicle is tilted due to a heavy load or suspension modifications.
• The camera temperature gets too high.
• Driving with the parking brake applied.

■Detection limitations
• A vehicle or pedestrian suddenly crosses in front of you.
• The distance between your vehicle and the vehicle or pedestrian ahead of you is
too short.
• A vehicle cuts in front of you at a slow speed, and it brakes suddenly.
• When you accelerate rapidly and approach the vehicle or pedestrian ahead of you
at high speed.
• The vehicle ahead of you is a motorcycle, bicycle, mobility scooter or other small
vehicle.
• When there are animals in front of your vehicle.
• When you drive on a curved, winding or undulating road that makes it difficult for
the sensor to properly detect a vehicle in front of you.
• The speed difference between your vehicle an d a vehicle or pedestrian in front of
you is significantly large.
• An oncoming vehicle suddenly comes in front of you.
• Another vehicle suddenly comes in front of you at an intersection, etc.
• Your vehicle abruptly crosses over in front of an oncoming vehicle.
• When driving through a narrow iron bridge.
• When the lead vehicle suddenly slows down.
• 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 shorter than about 3.3 feet (1 me ter) 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 squa tting, 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).
Limitations applicable to pedestrian detection only

Driving
■Automatic shutoff
CMBSTM may automatically shut itself off and the safety support indicator (amber)
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 CMBS
TM to shut off improve or are addressed (e.g.,
cleaning), the system comes back on.

Driving
The CMBSTM may activate even when you are aw are of a vehicle ahead of you, or
when there is no vehicle ahead . Some examples of this are:
■When passing
Your vehicle approaches another vehicle ah ead of you and you change lanes to pass.
■At an intersection
Your vehicle approaches or passes another vehicle that is making a left or right turn.
■With Little Chance of a Collision1With Little Chance of a Collision
For the CMBS
TM to work properly:
Always keep the radar sensor cover clean.
Never use chemical solvents or polishing powder for
cleaning the sensor cover. Clean it with water or a
mild detergent.

■On a curve
When driving through curves, your vehicle comes to a point where an oncoming
vehicle is right in front of you.
■Through a low bridge at high speed
You drive under a low or na rrow bridge at high speed.
■Speed bumps, road work sites, tra in tracks, roadside objects, etc.
You drive over speed bumps, st eel road plates, etc., or your vehicle approaches train
tracks or roadside objects [such as a traffic sign and guard rail] on a curve or, when
parking, stationary vehicles and walls.
