uuBefore Driving uDriving Preparation
Driving
• Be sure items placed on the floor behind the front seats cannot roll under the 
seats.
u They can interfere with the  driver’s ability to operate the pedals, the operation 
of the seats, or the operation  of the sensors under the seats.
• Everyone in the vehicle must  fasten their seat belt.
2Fastening a Seat Belt  P. 35
•Make sure that the indicators in the ins trument panel come on when you start the 
vehicle, and go off soon after.
u Always have a dealer check the vehicle if a problem is indicated.

Driving
Front Sensor Camera*
The camera, used in systems such as LDW,  FCW with Pedestrian Detection, LKAS, 
RDM, ACC with LSF, and CMBSTM, 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 
windshield, the hood, or the front grill that could 
obstruct the camera’s fiel d of vision and cause the 
system to operate abnormally.
Scratches, nicks, and othe r damage to the windshield 
within the camera’s fiel d of vision can cause the 
system to operate abnormall y. If this occurs, we 
recommend that you replac e the windshield with a 
genuine Acura replacement  windshield. Making even 
minor repairs within the ca mera’s field of vision or 
installing an aftermarke t replacement windshield 
may also cause the system to operate abnormally.
After replacing the winds hield, have a dealer 
recalibrate the camera. Pr oper 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 cool s down the area around 
the camera.
If the Some Driver Assist Systems Cannot 
Operate: Clean Front Windshield  message 
appears:
•Park your vehicle in a sa fe place, and clean the 
windshield. If the message does not disappear after 
you have cleaned the winds hield and driven for a 
while, have your vehicle checked by a dealer.

Driving
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with Low Speed 
Follow (LSF)*
Helps maintain a constant vehicle speed an d a set following-interval behind a vehicle 
detected ahead of yours and, if the detect ed vehicle slows to a stop, decelerates and 
stops your vehicle, without you having  to keep your foot on the brake or the 
accelerator.
When ACC with LSF slows your vehicle by  applying the brakes, your vehicle’s brake 
lights will illuminate.
1 Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)  with Low Speed Follow (LSF)*
Important Reminder
As with any system, there are limits to ACC with LSF. 
Use the brake pedal whenever necessary, and always 
keep a safe distance between your vehicle and other 
vehicles.
3WARNING
Improper use of ACC wi th LSF can lead to a 
crash.
Use ACC with LSF only when driving on 
expressways or freeways and in good 
weather conditions.
3WARNING
ACC with LSF has limited braking capability 
and may not stop your vehicle in time to 
avoid a collision with a vehicle that quickly 
stops in front of you.
Always be prepared to apply the brake 
pedal if the conditions require.
When to use
■Vehicle speed for ACC with LSF:  A vehicle is detected ahead within ACC with 
LSF range  – ACC with LSF operates at speeds up to 90 mph (145 km/h).
No vehicle is detected within ACC with LSF range  – ACC with LSF operates at 
the speed of about 25 mph (40 km/h) or above.
■Gear position for ACC with LSF: In ( D. The radar sensor is in 
the front grille.
The camera is 
located behind the 
rearview mirror.

■Automatic cancellation
The beeper sounds and a message appears  on the multi-information display when 
ACC with LSF is automatically canceled. An y of these conditions may cause the ACC 
with LSF to automatically cancel:
• Bad weather (rain,  fog, snow, etc.)
• When the radar sensor in the front grille gets dirty.
• The vehicle ahead of you cannot be detected.
• An abnormal tire condition is detected, or the tires are skidding.
• Driving on a mountainous road, or driving off road for extended periods.
• Abrupt steering wheel movement.
• When the ABS, VSA ® or CMBS
TM is activated.
• When the ABS or VSA ® system indicator comes on.
• When the vehicle is stopped on a very steep slope.
• When you manually apply the parking brake.
• When the detected vehicle within the ACC  with LSF range is too close to your 
vehicle.
• The camera behind the rearview mirror, or the area around the camera, including 
the windshield, gets dirty.
The ACC with LSF automatic cancellation  can be also triggered by the following 
causes. In these cases, the parking brake will be automatically applied.
• The driver’s seat belt is unfastened when the vehicl e is stationary.
• The vehicle stops for mo re than 10 minutes.
• The engine is turned off.
1Automatic cancellation
Even though ACC with LSF has been automatically 
canceled, you can still resu me the prior set speed. 
Wait until the condition that caused ACC with LSF to 
cancel improves, then press the  RES/+/SET/–  switch 
up.

Driving
Forward Collision Warning (FCW) with Pedestrian 
Detection*
Alerts you when it determines the possibility of your vehicle colliding with a vehicle 
or pedestrian detected in front of you.
If the system determines a collision is possible, it gives visual and audible alerts.
u Take appropriate action to prevent a coll ision (apply the brakes, change lanes, 
etc.).
■How the system works
For a possible collision with a vehicle: Warnings may be given when your vehicle 
speed is about 10 mph (15 km/h) and above.
For a possible collision with a pedestrian: Warnings may be given when your vehicle 
speed is between about 10 and 62 mph (15 and 100 km/h).
1 Forward Collision Warning (FCW)  with Pedestrian Detection*
Important Safety Reminder
FCW with Pedestrian Detection cannot detect all 
objects ahead and may not  detect a given object; 
accuracy of the system will  vary based on weather, 
speed and other factors.  FCW with Pedestrian 
Detection does not include a braking function. It is 
always your responsibilit y to safely operate the 
vehicle and avoid collisions.
You can change the Forward Collision Warning 
Distance setting or turn the system on and off. 2 Customized Features  P. 126, 257

Driving
Lane Departure Warning (LDW)*
Alerts you when the system determines a possibility of your vehicle unintentionally 
crossing over detected lane markings.
If your vehicle is getting too close to detected 
left or right side lane markings without a turn 
signal activated, LDW will give audible and 
visual alerts.
The beeper sounds and the  Lane Departure 
message appears on the multi-information 
display, letting you know that you need to 
take appropriate action.
The system begins to search for lane mark ings when all the following conditions are 
met:
• The vehicle is traveling between 45 and 90 mph (72 and 145 km/h).
• The vehicle is on a straight  or slightly curved road.
• The turn signals are off.
• The brake pedal is not depressed.
• The wipers are not in  continuous operation.
■How the System Works
1Lane Departure Warning (LDW)*
Important Safety Reminder
Like all assistance systems, LDW has limitations.
Over-reliance on LDW may result in a collision. It is 
always your respons ibility to keep the vehicle within 
your driving lane.
LDW only alerts you when lane drift is detected 
without a turn signal in us e. LDW may not detect all 
lane markings or  lane departures; a ccuracy will vary 
based on weather, speed and  lane marker condition. 
It is always your  responsibility to  safely operate the 
vehicle and avoid collisions.
