Collision Mitigation Braking System™ (CMBS™)*
Can alert you when a potential frontal collision with a vehicle or pedestrian is
determined and reduce your vehicle speed when a collision is deemed unavoidable
to help minimize collision severity.
The system provides visual and
audible alerts if you do not take
appropriate action to avoid a
collision.
Alert Stages
The system has three alert stages for a possible collision. Depending on the
circumstances or CMBS settings, CMBS may not go through all of the stages
before initiating the last stage.
Stage 1: Visual warnings and audible warning
Stage 2: Visual warnings, audible warning, light seat belt retraction,
and light brake application
Stage 3: Visual warnings, audible warning, strong seat belt retraction,
and strong brake application
Turning CMBS On or Off
Press and hold the CMBS OFF button. A message
appears in the MID, and the CMBS indicator
appears when the system is off.
Changing Settings
See page 87 for how to change CMBS settings. Options include Long, Normal
(default), and Short. Use the CMBS OFF button to turn the system off.
Important Safety Reminder
CMBS is designed to help avoid collisions by automatically stopping the vehicle
when possible, and to reduce the severity of an unavoidable collision. It is still
your responsibility to operate the brake pedal and steering wheel appropriately
according to the driving conditions.

Road Departure Mitigation (RDM)*
A camera mounted between the windshield and the rearview mirror determines
if your vehicle begins to cross over detected lane markings while driving between
45–90 mph (72–145 km/h).
If you get too close to a
detected lane line without
using your turn signal, a
message appears in the MID.
Steering wheel torque and
vibrations are applied to help
your vehicle stay in the lane.
Braking may also be applied
if the lane lines are solid and
continuous.
Turning the System On or Off
Press the RDM button to turn the system on or
off. A green indicator appears on the button
when the system is on.
Changing Settings
Determine the warning timing, or turn the system off. Use the interface dial to
make selections.
1. Press the SETTINGS button.
2. Select Vehicle Settings. The vehicle must
be in Park (P).
3. Select Road Departure Mitigation Setting.
4. Select from the options.
Normal (default): Steering control starts from inside the lane edge.
Wide: Steering control starts from outside the lane edge.
Warning Only: The system only provides a BRAKE message, but does not apply
steering or braking.
5. Press the BACK button to exit the menu.
Important Safety Reminder
The system has limitations. Over-reliance on it may result in a collision. It is always
your responsibility to keep your vehicle within the driving lane.
