Honda Civic Offers Collision Mitigation Braking System

With the increasing number of vehicles on the road and the constant distractions drivers face, having advanced safety features in your car is a must. The Honda Civic offers Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS). It’s an essential driver-assist technology, part of the Honda Sensing safety suite, that can detect a potential front-end collision and reduce probable impact by sending warnings to the driver to apply the brakes.

How the Collision Mitigation Braking System Works

The Collision Mitigation Braking System is an innovative safety feature the Honda Civic offers. This system uses radar sensors and camera technology to define the distance and closing speed of obstacles ahead. If the radar and high-resolution camera detect another vehicle or a pedestrian in front of the car, it will provide visual and audio warnings, and the brakes will be applied if necessary. The system operates through three stages of deployment:

• Alert: Dashboard or windshield visuals and audio warnings alert of an oncoming obstacle ahead of the vehicle, giving the driver time to take action.
• Brake Support: The brakes are lightly applied to slow the car to help reduce the speed and severity of the impact.
• Collision Mitigation Braking: The brakes are applied vigorously to bring the vehicle to a stop or reduce the impact speed, minimizing the damage and risk of injury.
