Smart City Break System

[Kedis82ZE8]

This is a a feature of SCBS that isn't often discussed.

"SCBS also incorporates acceleration control for automatic transmission, which will not allow unintended acceleration when the throttle is accidentally depressed when the driver is looking for the brakes."

"Acceleration Control for Automatic Transmission If a driver accelerates when an obstacle in front has been detected by the SCBS’ laser sensor, the system alerts the driver with an alarm sound and an indicator. At the same time, engine output is curbed to stop unintended acceleration."

Very cool. I consider myself well-read on the CX-5 safety systems, but was not aware of this aspect of the programming. Thanks.
