Collision Mitigation
Braking System
TM
(CMBS
TM) (P479)
Can assist you when there is a possibility of
your vehicle colliding with a vehicle or a
pedestrian detected in front of yours. The
CMBS
TM is designed to alert you when the
potential for a collision is determined, as
well as to reduce your vehicle speed to help
minimize collision severity when a collision is
deemed unavoidable.
Low Speed Braking
Control
* (P490)
Using sonar sensors lo cated on the front and
rear bumpers, this system detects if there is
danger of a potential collision with a wall or
other obstacle during normal driving or
when the accelerator pedal is depressed
with too much force. The system then assists
in avoiding collisions and reducing damage
from impact through assistive braking and/
or assistive driving power suppression.

Adaptive Cruise Control
(ACC) with Low Speed
Follow
(P496)
Helps maintain a constant vehicle speed and
a set following-interval behind a vehicle
detected ahead of yours and, if the detected
vehicle comes to a stop, can decelerate and
stop your vehicle, without you having to
keep your foot on the brake or the
accelerator.
Lane Keeping Assist
System (LKAS)
(P514)
Provides steering input to help keep the
vehicle in the middle of a detected lane and
provides tactile and visual alerts if the
vehicle is detected drifting out of its lane.
Road Departure

Alerts and helps to assist you when the
system detects a possibility of your vehicle
unintentionally crossing over detected lane

sensor mounted behind the emblem and a
camera mounted to the interior side of the
windshield, behind the rearview mirror to
detect and monitor left and right white
(yellow) traffic lane lines as well as any
vehicle ahead. Based on inputs from the
radar sensor and camera, the system adjusts
the speed of your vehicle to maintain a set
interval between your vehicle and the one
detected ahead. It also applies steering
torque to keep your vehicle in the center of
the detected lane when you are driving in
heavy traffic.
