Collision Mitigation Braking System™ (CMBS™) Certain conditions may cause the radar aim to be temporarily out of proper range, such as the following two examples: ● Collision Alert Your vehicle is tilted because of a heavy load in the rear or from modifications to the suspension. Do not overload your vehicle (see Carrying Cargo on page 428), and do not make any modifications to the suspension (see Accessories and Modifications on page 426). The tires are not correctly maintained. Always make sure the tire pressures are correct (see page 534), and that the tires are the correct size and in good condition (see Tires on page 534). If the system senses a likely collision with a vehicle or object ahead of you, it alerts you with a visual alert or a combination of a visual alert and an audible alert. Driving ● The visual alert is an amber colored BRAKE message that flashes on the multi-information display, the audible alert is a constant beeping sound. If one or more of the alerts come on, take the appropriate means to prevent a collision (apply the brakes, change lanes, etc.). CONTINUED 459 2011 MDX
