uuHonda Sensing ®u Collision Mitigation Braking SystemTM (CMBSTM)
Driving
■How the system works
The CMBS
TM will be canceled when your vehicl e stops or the system determines
there no longer is the potential for a collision.
The CMBS
TM may also be canceled when a driver operates the steering wheel and
the brake or accelerator pe dal to avoid a collision.
1How the system works
The camera in the CMBS
TM is also designed to detect
pedestrians.
However, this pedestrian detection feature may not
activate or may not detect a pedestrian in front of
your vehicle under certain conditions.
Refer to the ones indicating the pedestrian detection
limitations from the list. 2 CMBS
TM Conditions and Limitations P. 411A front sensor
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) or above and will search for a vehicle, pedestrian, or moving bicycle
in front of you.
The CMBS
TM activates when:●The speed difference between your vehicle and a vehicle, pedestrian, or moving
bicycle detected in front of you becomes about 3 mph (5 km/h) and over with a
chance of a collision.
●Your vehicle drives at about 18 mph (30 km/h) or less and there is a chance of a
frontal collision with a detected oncoming vehicle when you turn left at an
intersection.
●Your vehicle speed is about 62 mph (100 km/h) or less and the system determines
there is a chance of a collision with:
- An oncoming or stationary vehicle detected in front of you.
- A pedestrian or moving bicycle detected in front of you.
When to use
The radar sensor is
behind the Honda
emblem on the
front grille.

■When the system activates
You can change the distance ( Long/Normal /Short ) between vehicles at which the
system’s earliest collision alert will come on through the audio/information screen
setting options.
2 Customized Features P. 318
1When the system activates
The head-up warning uses a lens located at the front
end of the dashboard.
Do not cover the lens or spill any liquid on it.

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.

Drive a short distance at more than 12 mph (20 km/h).
Each indicator should go off. If any do not, have your
vehicle checked by a dealer.

Driving
In the following situations, the radar sensor or camera may be unable to correctly
detect vehicles, pedestrians, moving bicycles, or road conditions, potentially causing
the CMBS
TM to operate improperly.

■Environmental conditions
• Driving in bad weather (rain, fog, snow, etc.).
• Sudden changes between light and dark, such as the 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 pedestrians, moving bicycles or 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 place such as a tunnel (due to low-light conditions,
pedestrians, moving bicycles or other vehicles may not be detected).
■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.

■Examples of limitations on the correc t detection of the camera due to the
condition of the vehicle ahead of you, oncoming vehicles, pedestrians, or
moving bicycles
• The distance between your vehicle an d the vehicle ahead of you, oncoming
vehicle, pedestrian, or moving bicycle ahead of you is too short.
• The vehicle ahead of you, oncoming vehicle, pedestrian, or moving bicycle
suddenly cuts in front of or jumps out in front of you.
• The bicycle is stopped.
• The oncoming vehicle or vehicle ahead of you is sideways or facing diagonally.
• When the vehicle ahead of you, oncoming vehicle, pedestrian, or moving bicycle
blends in with the background, preventing the system from recognizing it.
• When several pedestrians are moving ahead of you in a group.
• When several bicycles are movi ng ahead of you in a group.
• When a pedestrian or moving bicy cle crosses the road too quickly.
• A pedestrian or moving bicycle approaches from the opposite direction.
• The headlights of the vehicle ahead of you or oncoming vehicle are lit on one side
or not lit on either side in a dark place.
• When part of a pedestrian (heads, limbs, etc.) is hidden by a load.
• When a pedestrian is bent over or squatti ng, when their hands are raised, or they
are running.
• 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 the pedestrian is push ing a stroller or bicycle.1Collision Mitigation Braking SystemTM (CMBSTM)
Make sure that all the tires are of the same specified
size, type and brand, and that they are evenly worn.
If you use tires of different sizes, types, brands, or
degree of wear, the syst em may not work properly.
Do not modify the suspensi on. Altering the height of
the vehicle may prevent the system from working
properly.

■Examples of other limitations on detection or system operation
• When the vehicle ahead of you is a small motorcycle, motorcycle with a sidecar,
wheelchair, or other specially shaped vehicle.
• When a vehicle is lower in the rear than the front such as trucks that are not
carrying a load, or a narrow vehicle.
• When the vehicle ahead of you, oncoming vehicle, pedestrian or moving bicycle
is not in front of the vehicle.
• The speed difference between your vehi cle and the vehicle ahead of you,
oncoming vehicle, pedestrian or moving bicycle is significantly large.
• When the vehicle or moving bicycle in front of you slows suddenly.
• When the driver operates the brake pedal and steering wheel to avoid a collision.
• When you approach the vehicle ahead of you, oncoming vehicle, pedestrians or
moving bicycles while accelerating rapidl y or operating the steering wheel (except
when turning left at an intersection etc.)
*1
• When the moving bicycle is a child-sized bicycle, folding bicycle, three-wheeler or
other bicycle with small tires, or a long bicycle like a tandem bicycle.
• When the radar and camera cannot correct ly identify the shape of the vehicle
ahead of you, oncoming vehicle, pedestrian, or moving bicycle.
• When the minimum ground clearance of a vehicle ahead of you is extremely high.
• When turning left or right and your turn signal is not activated in the same
direction you are turning.
*1: When there is a possibility of a frontal co llision with the oncoming vehicle while turning
left, the CMBSTM is activated. However, it may not be activated if you suddenly turn the
steering wheel.
