Honda Civic Collision Mitigation Braking System CMBS Explained
Can assist you when there is a possibility of your vehicle colliding with a vehicle or a pedestrian detected in front of your vehicle.
The system can give you visual, audible, and tactile alerts when a potential collision is determined, and reduce your vehicle speed to help minimize collision severity when a collision is deemed unavoidable.When a potential collision with a detected oncoming vehicle is determined, the system also alerts you with rapid vibrations on the steering wheel.
The system activates when:
•The speed difference between your vehicle and a vehicle or pedestrian detected in front of you is about 3 mph (5 km/h) and over with a chance of a collision.
•The speed difference between your vehicle and a vehicle or pedestrian detected in front of you is about 3 mph (5 km/h) and over with a chance of a collision.
•our vehicle speed is about 62 mph (100 km/h) or less and there is a chance of a collision with an oncoming detected vehicle or a pedestrian in front of you.
