Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Active/Passive Driver
The Closing velocity module (CVM) determines whether the driver seems to be active by using signals regarding the accelerator pedal and steering wheel movements.
If the driver is deemed to be active and has the situation under control, the Closing velocity module (CVM) does not request automatic vehicle braking.
If the driver goes from being passive to being active, the Closing velocity module (CVM) cancels the request for automatic braking and the driver regains full control of the vehicle.
