System Description

The collision mitigation brake system (CMBS), anticipates collisions and assists brake operation to reduce the impact on occupants and vehicle damage. The system works in combination with the e-pretensioners, which retract the seat belts in anticipation of impact.

CMBS Operation

  1. Warnings are both audible (warning buzzer) and visual (MID)
  2. Evasive action support and collision-speed reduction by brake control
