Safety is always a top priority when it comes to choosing a new vehicle, and Honda continues to lead the way with innovative driver-assist technology. One of the most advanced safety features available on new Honda vehicles is the Collision Mitigation Braking System™ (CMBS™). Designed to help prevent or reduce the severity of frontal collisions, CMBS™ gives Myrtle Beach drivers greater confidence and peace of mind behind the wheel.
At East Coast Honda, we’re proud to offer a full lineup of vehicles equipped with Honda Sensing®, including CMBS™ and other advanced safety systems.
What Is the Collision Mitigation Braking System™ (CMBS™)?
Honda’s CMBS™ is part of the Honda Sensing® suite of safety and driver-assist technologies. Using a forward-facing camera and radar, the system continuously monitors traffic ahead. If it detects a potential frontal collision, CMBS™ alerts the driver and can automatically apply the brakes to help avoid the crash or reduce its impact.
How CMBS™ Works
- Detection: The system scans the road ahead using radar and a camera to detect vehicles or obstacles in your path.
- Warning: If CMBS™ senses a potential collision, it issues visual and audible alerts to prompt the driver to react.
- Assistance: If the driver does not respond quickly enough, CMBS™ can automatically apply braking power to help reduce the severity of a collision — or, in some cases, avoid it altogether.
This technology acts as a critical safety net, especially in situations where a driver may be distracted or when traffic suddenly slows down.
Benefits of Collision Mitigation Braking System™
For Myrtle Beach drivers, CMBS™ provides several key benefits:
- Helps prevent accidents: By applying brakes automatically, CMBS™ can stop or slow the vehicle when a collision seems imminent.
- Reduces crash severity: Even if an accident can’t be avoided, CMBS™ helps lessen the impact.
- Peace of mind: Knowing your vehicle has an added layer of protection allows you to drive with more confidence in busy traffic or on long commutes.
Which Honda Models Include CMBS™?
CMBS™ is standard on most new Honda vehicles equipped with the Honda Sensing® suite, including:
- Honda Accord
- Honda Civic
- Honda CR-V
- Honda Pilot
- Honda HR-V
- Honda Odyssey
This means you don’t have to compromise — safety comes built-in with the Honda models you already love.
