uuHonda Sensing ®u Collision Mitigation Braking SystemTM (CMBSTM)
Driving
■How the system works
The CMBS
TM will be canceled when your vehicle stops or the system determines
there no longer is the potential for a collision.
The CMBS
TM may also be canceled when a dr iver 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. 577
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.
Models with head-up display
Lens
A front sensor
camera is located
behind the
rearview mirror.
The system starts monitoring the roadway ahead 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 vehicl e 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.
