Collision Mitigation Braking SystemTM (CMBSTM) (P495)

The system can assist you when it determines there is a possibility of your vehicle colliding with a vehicle or a pedestrian detected 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.

*Low-Speed Braking Control (P506)**

Using sonar sensors located on the front and rear bumpers, this system can detect if there is a 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.
