Collision Mitigation Braking System

(CMBS

Driving

The system has three alert stages for a possible collision. However, depending on circumstances, the CMBS

may not go through all of

the stages before initiating the last stage.

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 and 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 a pedestrian blends in with the background.
• When a pedestrian is bent over or squatting, or when their hands or raised or they

are running.

• When several pedestrians are walking ahead in a group.
• When the lead vehicle suddenly slows down.
• When the camera cannot correctly identify that a pedestrian is present due to an

unusual shape (holding luggage, body position, size).

Automatic shutoff

CMBS

may automatically shut itself off and the CMBS

indicator 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

to shut off improve or are addressed (e.g.,

cleaning), the system comes back on.

Braking

Collision Mitigation Braking System

(CMBS

)

502

Driving

The CMBS

may activate even when you are aware 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 ahead 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.

■

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 narrow bridge at high speed.

■

Speed bumps, road work sites, train tracks, roadside objects, etc.

You drive over speed bumps, steel 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.

■

With Little Chance of a Collision

Collision Mitigation Braking System

(CMBS

)

For the CMBS

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.

Do not paint, or apply any coverings or paint to radar
sensor area. This can impact CMBS operation.

If you need the radar sensor to be repaired, or
removed, or the radar sensor cover is strongly
impacted, turn off the system by pressing the
CMBS

off button and take your vehicle to a dealer.

4. Turn off the engine.

Always set the parking brake firmly, in particular if you are parked on an incline.

Parking Your Vehicle

Do not park your vehicle near flammable objects,
such as dry grass, oil, or timber.
Heat from the exhaust can cause a fire.

WARNING

The vehicle can roll away if left unattended
without confirming that Park is engaged.

A vehicle that rolls away could cause a crash
resulting in serious injury or death.

Always keep your foot on the brake pedal
until you have confirmed that

on the shift lever position Indicator.

When Stopped

NOTICE

The following can damage the transmission:

•

Depressing the accelerator and brake pedals
simultaneously.

•

Changing into

(

P before the vehicle stops

completely.

When facing uphill, do not hold the vehicle by
depressing the accelerator pedal.
Doing so may cause the items to malfunction or a fire
inside the vehicle.

The sensor location and range

Parking Sensor System

Even when the system is on, always confirm if there is
no obstacle near your vehicle before parking.

The system may not work properly when:

•

The sensors are covered with snow, ice, mud or
dirt, etc.

•

The vehicle is on uneven surface, such as grass,
bumpy road, 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.

Cross Traffic Monitor

Cross Traffic Monitor

Monitors the rear corner areas using the radar sensors when reversing, and alerts
you if a vehicle approaching from a rear corner is detected.

The system is convenient when you are backing out of a parking space.

Cross Traffic Monitor

CAUTION

Cross Traffic Monitor cannot detect all
approaching vehicles and may not detect
an approaching vehicle at all.

Failure to visually confirm that it is safe to
back up the vehicle before doing so may
result in a collision.

Do not solely rely on the system when
reversing; always also use your mirrors, and
look behind and to the sides of your vehicle
before reversing.

• The power mode is in ON.
• The Cross Traffic Monitor system is turned

on.

2 Cross Traffic Monitor On and Off P. 511

• The shift lever is in

(

• Your vehicle is moving at 3 mph (5 km/h) or

lower.

When a vehicle is detected approaching from a rear corner, Cross Traffic Monitor
alerts you with a buzzer and a displayed warning.

The system will not detect a vehicle that approaches from directly behind your
vehicle, nor will it provide alerts about a detected vehicle when it moves directly
behind your vehicle.

The system does not detect or provide alerts for a vehicle that is moving away from
your vehicle, and it may not detect or alert for pedestrians, bicycles, or stationary
objects.

■

How the System Works

Cross Traffic Monitor

Cross Traffic Monitor may not detect an approaching
vehicle, or may delay alerting you under the following
conditions:

•

A vehicle, which is parked adjacent to your vehicle,
is blocking the radar sensor’s view.

•

Your vehicle is moving at the speed of about 3 mph
(5 km/h) or higher.

•

A vehicle is approaching at the speed other than
between about 6 and 16 mph (10 and 25 km/h).

•

The system picks up external interference such as
other radar sensors from another vehicle or strong
radio wave transmitted from a facility nearby.

•

Either corner of the rear bumper is covered with
snow, ice, mud or dirt.

•

When there is bad weather.

•

Your vehicle is on an incline.

•

Your vehicle is tilted due to a heavy load in the rear.

•

The rear bumper or the sensors have been
improperly repaired or the rear bumper has been
deformed. Have a vehicle checked by a dealer.

For proper operation, always keep the rear bumper
corner area clean.
Do not cover the rear bumper corner area with labels
or stickers of any kind.
