DRIVING
®*1
Honda Sensing
A driver support system which employs the
use of two distinctly different kinds of
sensors, a radar sensor located in the front
grille and a front sensor camera mounted
to the interior side of the windshield,
behind the rearview mirror.
These are the components of Honda
®
Sensing :
Adaptive Cruise Control with Low Speed
Follow (ACC with Low Speed Follow)*1:
Helps maintain a constant vehicle speed
and a set following-interval behind a
vehicle detected ahead of yours and, if the
detected vehicle comes to a stop, can
decelerate and stop your vehicle, without
you having to keep your foot on the brake
or the accelerator.
Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS)*1: Provides steering input to help keep the
vehicle in the middle of a detected lane and provides tactile and visual alerts if
the vehicle is detected drifting out of its lane.
Road Departure Mitigation (RDM) System*1: Alerts and helps to assist you when
the system detects a possibility of your vehicle unintentionally crossing over
detected lane markings and/or leaving the roadway altogether.
™ ™
Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS )*1: Can assist you when there is
a possibility of your vehicle colliding with a vehicle or a pedestrian detected in
™
front of yours. The CMBS is designed to alert you when a potential collision is
determined, as well as to reduce your vehicle speed to help minimize collision
severity when a collision is deemed unavoidable.
n "Some Driver Systems Cannot Operate" Information Message
®
Honda Sensing is deactivated and this message appears when:
Anything covers the radar sensor cover or the area around the front sensor
camera preventing detection of a vehicle in front. May appear when driving
in bad weather (rain, snow, fog, etc.).
• Stop your vehicle in a safe place and clear the area using a soft cloth.
• Have your vehicle checked by a dealer if the message does not disappear
even after you clean the area.

Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with Low Speed Follow *1
Helps maintain a constant vehicle speed and a set following interval behind a
vehicle detected ahead of yours and, if the detected vehicle comes to a stop,
can decelerate and stop your vehicle, without you having to keep your foot on
the brake or the accelerator. When ACC with Low Speed Follow slows your
vehicle by applying the brakes, your vehicle's brake lights will illuminate.

DRIVING
n Activating and Setting the Vehicle Speed
1. Press the MAIN button. The ACC
indicator appears in the .
2. Accelerate to the desired speed
(above 25 mph/40 km/h). Take your
foot off the pedal and press the
SET/- button to set the speed.
DRIVING
n Adjusting the Vehicle Speed
Press the RES/+ button to increase
speed or the SET/- button to decrease
speed. Each time you press the button,
the vehicle speed is increased or
decreased by about 1 mph (1.6 km/h). If
you keep the button pressed, the
vehicle speed increases or decreases
by 5 mph or 5 km/h until you release it.
n Adjusting the Vehicle Distance
Press the Interval button to change the
following interval. Each time you press
the button, the setting cycles through
extra long, long, middle, and short.
n During Operation
If a vehicle is detected ahead of you
when ACC is turned on, the system
maintains, accelerates, or decelerates
your vehicle’s set speed to keep the
vehicle’s set following interval from the
vehicle ahead.
If a vehicle detected ahead of you
slows down abruptly, or if another
DRIVING
vehicle cuts in front of you, a beep sounds and BRAKE appears on the to
alert you .
ACC has limited braking capability.
When your vehicle speed drops below 22 mph (35 km/h), ACC will
automatically cancel and no longer will apply your vehicle’s brakes.
Always be prepared to apply the brake pedal when conditions require.
n Canceling ACC
You can press the CANCEL button,
MAIN button or the brake pedal. The
ACC with Low Speed Follow indicator
goes off.
Certain conditions may cause ACC to
cancel automatically. When this
happens, appears on the
Improper use of ACC can lead to a crash.
Use ACC only when traveling on open highways in good weather.
n Switching to Standard Cruise Control
Press and hold the Interval button for one second.
Cruise Mode Selected appears in the
for two seconds, and then the mode
switches to Cruise. Press and hold the
interval button again to switch back to
ACC . ACC Mode Selected appears on
the display for two seconds.
Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS)*1
Provides steering input to help keep the vehicle in the middle of a detected lane
and provides audible and visual alerts if the vehicle is detected drifting out of its
lane while driving between 45–90 mph (72–145 km/h).
*1 - If equipped
DRIVING
n Turning the System On or Off
1. Press the MAIN button. LKAS appears
in the driver information interface.
2. Press the LKAS button. Lane outlines
appear in the . Dotted lane lines turn
solid when the system activates.
3. Press the MAIN button or the LKAS
button to turn the system off.

n Important Safety Reminder
LKAS is for your convenience only. It is not a substitute for your vehicle
control. The system does not work if you take your hands off the steering
wheel or fail to steer the vehicle.
Do not place an object on the top of the instrument panel. It may reflect onto
the windshield and prevent the system from detecting lane lines properly.
Road Departure Mitigation (RDM)*1
Alerts and helps to assist you if the system
determines a possibility of your vehicle
unintentionally crossing over detected lane
markings and/or leaving the roadway
altogether while driving between 45-90 mph
(72-145km/h).
n Turning the System On or Off
Press the RDM button to turn the
system on or off. A green indicator
appears on the button when the system
is on.
n Changing Settings
1. From the HOME screen, select Settings.
2. Select Vehicle.
3. Select Driver Assist System Setup.
*1 - If equipped
DRIVING
4. Select Road Departure Mitigation Setting.
5. Select from the options.
n Important Safety Reminder
The RDM system has limitations. Over-reliance on it may result in a
collision. It is always your responsibility to keep your vehicle within the
driving lane.
™ ™
Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS )*1
Can assist you when there is a possibility of
your vehicle colliding with a vehicle or a
pedestrian detected in front of yours. The
™
CMBS is designed to alert you when a
potential collision is determined, as well as
to reduce your vehicle speed to help
minimize collision severity when a collision
is deemed unavoidable.
n Alert Stages
The system has three alert stages for a possible collision. Depending on the
™ ™
circumstances or CMBS settings, CMBS may not go through all of the
stages before initiating the last stage.
Stage 1: Visual and audible warning.
Stage 2: Visual and audible warning, light brake application.
Stage 3: Visual and audible warning, strong brake application.
n Changing Settings
1. From the HOME screen, select Settings.
2. Select Vehicle. The vehicle must be in Park (P).
3. Select Forward Collision Warning Distance.
4. Select Long, Normal, or Short.
n Turning the System On or Off

DRIVING
™
Press and hold the CMBS OFF button.
A beep sounds and a message appears
in the Multi-Information DisplayDriver
™
Information Interface. The CMBS
indicator appears when the system is
off.
n Important Safety Reminder
CMBS is designed to reduce the severity of an unavoidable collision. It does
not prevent collisions nor stop the vehicle automatically. It is still your
responsibility to operate the brake pedal and steering wheel appropriately
according to the driving conditions.
