Collision Mitigati on Braking SystemTM (CMBSTM)
The system can assist you when it determine s there is a possibility of your vehicle
colliding with a vehicle or a pedestrian de tected in front of your vehicle. The CMBSTM
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.
1 Collision Mitigation Braking SystemTM (CMBSTM)
Important Safety Reminder
The CMBS
TM is designed to reduce the severity of an
unavoidable collision. It does not prevent collisions
nor stop the vehicle automati cally. It is still your
responsibility to operate th e brake pedal and steering
wheel appropriately acco rding to the driving
conditions.
The CMBS
TM may not activate or may not detect a
vehicle in front of y our vehicle under certain
conditions: 2 CMBS
TM Conditions and Limitations P. 491
You can read about handling information for the
camera equipped with this system. 2 Front Sensor Camera P. 541
For directions on the prop er handling of the radar
sensor, refer to the following page. 2 Radar Sensor P. 543
When the CMBS
TM activates, it may automatically
apply the brake. It will be canceled when your vehicle
stops or a potential coll ision is not determined.

Driving
When driving at about 25 mph (40 km/h) or above: Take your foot off the
pedal and press down the RES/+/SET/– switch when you re ach the desired speed.
The moment you release the switch, the set speed is fixed, and ACC with Low Speed
Follow begins.
When you use ACC with Low Speed Follow, Stra ight Driving Assist (a feature of the
Electric Power Steering system) is activated.
By enabling the steering system to automa tically compensate for natural steering
pull, Straight Driving Assist makes it easier for you to keep your vehicle in a straight
line.
When driving slower than about 25 mph (40 km/h): If the vehicle is moving
and the brake pedal is not depressed, pres sing the switch fixes the set speed to
about 25 mph (40 km/h) regardless of current vehicle speed. If the vehicle is
stationary, you can set the vehicle speed even with the brake pedal depressed.
■To Set the Vehicle Speed1 Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with Low Speed Follow
Do not use ACC with Low Speed Follow under the
following conditions:
•On roads with frequent la ne-change or continuous
stop and go traffic, ACC with Low Speed Follow
cannot keep an appropriate distance between your
vehicle and the vehicle ahead of you.
•On roads with sharp turns.•On roads with steep downhill sections, as the set
vehicle speed can be exceeded by coasting. In such
cases, ACC with Low Speed Follow will not apply
the brakes to maintain the set speed.
•On roads with toll collection facilities or other
objects between lanes of traffic, or in parking
areas, or faci lities with driv e through access.
•On roads with bad weather (rain, fog, snow, etc.),
ACC with Low Speed Follow may not detect the
distance between your vehicle and the vehicle
ahead of you properly.
•On roads with slippery or icy surfaces. The wheels
may spin out and your vehi cle may lose the control
on the condition.
