How to Turn On the Collision Mitigation Braking System in an Acura
To turn on the Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS) in an Acura, you don’t need to perform any specific action to activate it. The CMBS is an automatic feature that is always active when the vehicle is running. It uses a front-mounted camera and millimeter-wave radar to monitor traffic conditions ahead and detect potential front-end collisions.
When the CMBS detects a potential collision, it alerts the driver in three stages. In the first stage, an audible and visual warning is issued to prompt the driver to take corrective action. If the driver does not respond, the CMBS continues with audible and visual warnings and applies gentle brake pressure in the second stage. This provides a sensory warning and prompts the driver to take corrective action. If there is still no response from the driver and a collision is imminent, the CMBS will automatically apply the brakes to help slow the vehicle and avoid a collision.
Therefore, the CMBS is always active in an Acura vehicle, and there is no need to manually turn it on or off. It continuously monitors the road ahead and assists the driver in avoiding or mitigating the severity of collisions .
Please note that the specific operation and features of the CMBS may vary slightly depending on the Acura model and its trim level. It’s always a good idea to consult the owner’s manual or contact an authorized Acura dealer for detailed information about the CMBS in your specific vehicle.
