CMBS™ On and Off

Press and hold the button until the beeper sounds to switch the system on or off. When the CMBS™ is off:

  • The CMBS™ indicator in the instrument panel comes on.
  • A message on the driver information interface reminds you that the system is off.

The CMBS™ is turned on every time you start the engine, even if you turned it off the last time you drove the vehicle.

The CMBS™ may automatically shut off, and the CMBS™ indicator will come and stay on under certain conditions.

When the CMBS™ is activated, it will continue to operate even if the accelerator pedal is partially depressed. However, it will be canceled if the accelerator pedal is deeply depressed.

Drive a short distance at more than 12 mph (20 km/h). The indicator should go off. If it does not, have your vehicle checked by a dealer.
