Acura Collision Mitigation Braking System Operating instructions

  • Hello! I've reviewed the AcuraWatch Quick Reference Guide and understand that it details the driver support system's features, including Collision Mitigation Braking, Lane Keeping Assist, and more. I am ready to answer any questions you have about these features and how they work.
  • What sensors does AcuraWatch use?
    What is the purpose of Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS)?
    What is the Low Speed Braking Control?
    What functions require a switch operation to activate?
Quick Reference Guide
AcuraWatchTM (P490)
AcuraWatchTM is a driver support system
which employs the use of two distinctly
different kinds of sensors, a radar sensor
located behind the emblem, and a front
sensor camera mounted to the interior side
of the windshield, behind the rearview
mirror.

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 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.
