The Acura MDX comes equipped with an advanced Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS) designed to enhance safety by helping to prevent or reduce the severity of frontal collisions. To ensure this system operates at peak performance, regular maintenance and care are essential.

Key Tips for Maintaining Your CMBS

  • Keep Sensors Clean: The CMBS relies on sensors located near the front grille and windshield. Dirt, snow, or debris can obstruct these sensors, so regularly clean these areas with a soft cloth and mild detergent as needed.
  • Avoid Aftermarket Modifications: Modifications to the front bumper or windshield may interfere with sensor function. Always consult your Acura dealer before making any changes that could impact the system.
  • Schedule Regular Inspections: During routine maintenance visits, ask your service technician to inspect the CMBS sensor alignment and functionality to catch any issues early.
  • Respond to Warning Indicators: If the Collision Mitigation Braking System warning light appears on your dashboard, have your vehicle checked promptly by an authorized Acura service center.

By following these simple maintenance practices, you can help ensure your Acura MDX’s Collision Mitigation Braking System remains reliable, giving you greater confidence and peace of mind on the road.
