Front Sensor Camera
*
The camera, used in systems such as LDW, FCW with Pedestrian Detection, LKAS,
RDM, ACC with LSF, and CMBS
TM, is designed to detect an object that triggers any
of the systems to operate its functions.
This camera is located behind the rearview
mirror.
To help reduce the likelihood that high interior
temperatures will cause the camera’s sensing
s y s t e m t o s h u t o f f , w h e n p a r k i n g , f i n d a s h a d y
area or face the front of the vehicle away from
the sun. If you use a reflective sun shade, do
not allow it to cover the camera housing.
Covering the camera can concentrate heat on
it.
■
Camera Location and Handling Tips
1Front Sensor Camera
*
Never apply a film or attach any objects to the
windshield that could obstruct the camera’s field of
vision.
Scratches, nicks, and other damage to the windshield
within the ca mera’s field of vision can cause the
system to operate abnormally. If this occurs, we
recommend that you replace the windshield with a
genuine Acura replacement windshield. Making even
minor repairs withi n the camera’s field of vision or
installing an aftermarket replacement windshield
may also cause the system to operate abnormally.
After replacing the windshield, have a dealer
recalibrate the camera. Proper calibration of the
camera is necessary for the system to operate
properly.
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.
If the Some Driver Assist Systems Cannot
Operate: Camera Temperature Too High message
appears:•Use the climate control system to cool down the
interior and, if necessary, also use defroster mode
with the air flow directed towards the camera.•Start driving the vehicle to lower the windshield
temperature, which cools down the area around
the camera.

uuWhen Driving uAdaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with Low Speed Follow (LSF)
*
354Driving
When driving at about 25 mph (40 km/h) or above: Take your foot off the
pedal and press down the RES/+/SET/– switch when you reach the desired speed.
The moment you release the switch, the set speed is fixed, and ACC with LSF begins.
When driving at slower than about 25 mph (40 km/h): If the vehicle is moving
and the brake pedal is not depressed, pressing the switch fixes the set speed to
about 25 mph (40 km/h) regardless of cu rrent vehicle speed. If the vehicle is
stationary, you can set the vehicle speed even with the brake pedal depressed. When ACC with LSF starts operating, the
vehicle icon, distance bars and set speed
appear on the multi-information display. ■
