COLLISION-MITIGATION COMPATIBILITY

What Is the CM Style?

THE ORIGINAL REQUEST

Why the CM Style Exists

Designed Around the No-Encroachment Zone

The CM (Collision Mitigation) Style was created at the request of Daimler to design a guard that exposes and does not interfere with the ‘no encroachment zone’ of the Detroit Assurance – CMS (Collision Mitigation System) for the New Gen Cascadia. The CM guards are specifically provided at PDI Centers.

The XG 100 Series Modification

Following this request, Ex-Guard® created the CM modification to the XG 100 Series guards. This modification offers a larger opening in the center of the guard, making it compliant with the said ‘no encroachment zone.’

This style of guard is not necessary for CMS operation, as all Ex-Guard grille guards allow the full functionality of these collision-mitigation systems.

CM STYLE VS. DEEP STYLE

Choose Coverage for the Application

The Deep Style offers more coverage to mitigate front-end damage. Ex-Guard® offered the CM modification upon request to ensure compliance with the ‘no encroachment zones’ set out by Daimler.

Customers using Deep Style Ex-Guards while running CMS have unhindered functionality of this technology.
