Important Safety Reminder

CMBS is designed to reduce the severity of an unavoidable collision. It does not

prevent collisions nor stop the vehicle automatically. It is still your responsibility

to operate the brake pedal and steering wheel appropriately according to the

driving conditions.

Turning CMBS On or Off

Press and hold the CMBS OFF button.

A beep sounds and a message

appears in the MID. The CMBS

indicator appears when the system

is off.

LaneWatch

™

Check the passenger-side rear areas in the upper display when the right turn

signal is activated.

LaneWatch display

Activating LaneWatch

Activate the right turn signal. The

LaneWatch display appears. Check

the display for blind spots and visually

confirm that it is safe to change lanes.
You can also press the LaneWatch

button on the end of the turn signal

switch to view a constant real-time

display. Press it again to turn the

display off.

Changing Settings

1. From the HOME screen, select

Settings.

5. Press BACK to exit the menu.

Important Safety Reminder

Like all assistance systems, LaneWatch has limitations. Over-reliance on the

system may result in a collision.

Failure to visually confirm that it is safe to change lanes before doing so may

result in a crash and serious injury or death.
Do not rely only on LaneWatch while driving. Always look in your mirrors, to

either side of your vehicle, and behind you for other vehicles before changing

lanes.
