The Collision Avoidance System on the Honda Pilot
The Honda Pilot is equipped with a Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS) as part of its safety features . The CMBS utilizes a front-facing camera located behind the rearview mirror and a radar sensor in the grille to monitor the road ahead for vehicles and pedestrians. When the system detects a potential frontal collision, it can provide visual and audible alerts to the driver to get their attention. Depending on the situation, the CMBS can automatically activate the vehicle’s brakes to help the driver avoid a collision.
The CMBS has three stages of alert. In stage 1, visual and audio warnings alert the driver of an oncoming obstacle ahead of the vehicle. In stage 2, the brakes are lightly applied to slow down the vehicle and help avoid a collision. In stage 3, the brakes are applied strongly to dramatically reduce the vehicle’s speed.
It’s important to note that the CMBS may not detect all objects ahead and its accuracy can vary based on weather, speed, and other factors. The driver remains responsible for safely operating the vehicle and avoiding collisions.
The Honda Pilot is not the only Honda vehicle equipped with the CMBS. Almost every 2020 and newer Honda vehicle comes standard equipped with Honda Sensing and the Collision Mitigation Braking System.

How does the collision avoidance system work?
A collision avoidance system is a safety system designed to warn, alert, or assist drivers to avoid imminent collisions and reduce the risk of incidents. Collision avoidance systems use a variety of technologies and sensors, such as radar, lasers, cameras, GPS, and artificial intelligence.
What is the problem with Honda collision mitigation system?
The main concern with defective automatic emergency braking systems is sudden braking, which is likely the result of either a software error or problems with automatic braking sensors on affected vehicles. There are other symptoms, however, that could indicate issues with the AEB system in certain Honda vehicles.
What is the difference between collision detection and avoidance?
In the simplest terms, Collision Detection detects problems after they have happened, and then tries to clean up and try again. Collision Avoidance avoids issues altogether and acts as the network traffic controller for devices.
How do you reset the collision mitigation system on a Honda Pilot?
Press and hold the CMBS™ OFF button. A beep sounds and a message appears in the Driver Information Interface. The CMBS™ indicator appears when the system is off. CMBS™ automatically resets back to ON each time you start the engine.
How do you reset the Honda Sensing feature?
For example, if you want to turn off RDM, you can press a button under ECON, and LKAS can be turned off by pushing the MAIN button on the steering wheel until the indicators in the instrument cluster are gone. Pressing the MAIN button again will reset Honda Sensing®.
How do you disable the collision mitigation braking system?
To turn off CMBS, simply press and hold down the CMBS button (located to the left of the steering column) until you hear an audible beep and a message appears in the Multi-Information Display. The CMBS will remain deactivated until the engine is shut down.
Can you turn off Honda collision mitigation braking system?
If you want to turn off CMBS just press and hold down the CMBS button located to the left of the steering column until you hear a beep and a confirmation message displays in the vehicle’s Driver Information Interface. CMBS will now be shut down until you turn off the ignition.
How does Honda forward collision warning work?
Forward Collision Warning (FCW)
FCW can detect vehicles directly in front of the vehicle. If the distance between the two vehicles is diminishing, the system compares the vehicles’ current speeds to determine if a collision may occur.
What is Honda’s collision mitigation system?
A part of the Honda Sensing suite of technologies, CMBS is designed to alert drivers of a potential collision via visual and audible alerts and help the driver take corrective actions. The system can even apply the brakes to help reduce the forces of a collision if the system determines one to be unavoidable.
What are the disadvantages of collision avoidance system?
Cons of Crash-Avoidance Systems
- Cost. More safety seems like an obvious positive, but there can be some downsides to these advances.
- Lack of understanding.
- Distracted driving.
- Repair problems.
