Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS)
P481)
The system can assist you when it determines there is a possibility of your vehicle colliding with a vehicle (including motorcycles) ahead from behind, an oncoming vehicle in front, a pedestrian, or someone riding a bicycle (moving bicycle). The CMBSTM is designed to alert you when the potential for a collision is determined, as well as assist in reducing speed, avoiding collisions, and reducing collision severity.
Low Speed Braking Control
Continuously variable transmission models with parking sensor system
Using sonar sensors located on the front and rear bumpers, and the front grille, this system detects 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.
Low Speed Braking Control
Manual transmission models
Using sonar sensors located on the front and rear bumpers and the front grille, this system detects if there is danger of a potential collision with a wall or other obstacle during normal driving. The system then assists in avoiding collisions and reducing damage from impact through assistive braking.
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with Low Speed Follow (P504)
Helps maintain a constant vehicle speed and a set following-interval behind a vehicle detected ahead of yours and, if the detected vehicle comes to a stop, can decelerate and stop your vehicle, without you having to keep your foot on the brake or the accelerator.

Traffic Jam Assist
The traffic jam assist system uses a camera mounted to the upper portion of the windshield to detect and monitor left and right white (or yellow) traffic lane lines. Based on inputs from the camera, the system can apply steering torque to keep your vehicle in the center of the detected lane.
Road Departure Mitigation System
(P 566)
Alerts and helps assist you when the system detects a possibility of your vehicle crossing over detected lane markings, or approaching the outer edge of the pavement (into grass or gravel border) or a detected oncoming vehicle.
Traffic Sign Recognition System
(P574)
Reminds you of road sign information, such as the current speed limit your vehicle has just passed through, showing it on the gauge and the head-up display*.
