CMBS and E-Pretensioner Operation

Approaching a vehicle ahead:

When driving, the millimeter wave radar detects a vehicle ahead, and the system provides audible and visual warnings if it detects a risk of collision.

Closing on a vehicle ahead:

The system applies light braking, and increases seat belt tension slightly to provide a tactile warning to the driver. There is no tactile warning for the front passenger.

Collision unavoidable:

The system activates strong braking, and securely tightens both the driver's and front passenger's seat belts to help reduce injury caused by the impact.
