Road Departure Mi tigation System
Alerts and helps assist you when the system detects a possibility of your vehicle
crossing over detected lane markings, or approaching the outer edge of the
pavement (into grass or gravel bord er) or a detected oncoming vehicle.
The front camera behind the rearview mirror
monitors left and right lane markings in white
or yellow, the outer edge of the pavement
(bordered by grass or gravel) or a detected
oncoming vehicles.
If your vehicle approach es any detected lane
markings, the outer edge of the pavement
(bordered by grass or gravel) or a detected
oncoming vehicles when the turn signals have
not been engaged, the system activates. u If the system cannot de tect lane markings
(in white or yellow), no assistance will be
provided to avoid approaching oncoming
vehicles. In addition to a visual alert, the
system assists with steering and alerts you
with rapid steering wheel vibrations to
help you remain within the detected lane.

■How the System Works
1 Road Departure Mitigation System
Important Safety Reminder
Like all assistance systems, the Road Departure
Mitigation system has limitations.
Over-reliance on the Road Departure Mitigation
system may result in a collision. It is always your
responsibility to keep the vehicle within your driving
lane.
The Road Departure Mitiga tion system alerts you
when the system detects that you are approaching
the outer edge of the paveme nt (into grass or gravel
border), an oncoming vehicle, or drifting into another
lane without using a turn signal.
The Road Departure Mitigation system may not detect
all lane markings or ever y instance of lane drift.
The Road Departure Miti gation system may not
detect that you are approa ching the outer edge of
the pavement (bordered by grass or gravel) or an
oncoming vehicle.
The Road Departure Mitiga tion system may not be
able to assist you depend ing on weather, speed or
road conditions.
The Road Departure Mitigation system is not activated
for about 15 seconds af ter the engine starts.
You can read about handling information for the
camera equipped with this system. 2 Front Wide View Camera P. 551

uuHonda Sensing ®u Traffic Sign Recognition System
Continued
Driving
Traffic Sign Recognition System
Reminds you of road sign information, such as the current speed limit your vehicle
has just passed through, showing it on the gauge.
When the camera located behind the rear view mirror captures traffic signs while
driving, the system displays the ones that are recognized as designated for your
vehicle. The sign icon will be displayed un til the vehicle reaches a predetermined
time and distance.
If the system does not detect any traffic signs while you are driving, the sign icon will
not be displayed.
The sign icon also may switch to another one, or disappear when:
• The end of speed limit or other designated limit is detected.
• You make a turn with a turn signal at an intersection.
■How the System Works
1Traffic Sign Recognition System
Not all signs may be displa yed, but any signs posted
on roadsides should not be ignored. The system does
not work on the designated traffic signs of all the
countries you travel, nor in all situations.
Do not rely too much on the system. Always drive at
speeds appropriate fo r the road conditions.
Never apply a film or attach any objects to the
windshield that could obstruc t the camera’s field of
vision and cause the system to operate abnormally.
Scratches, nicks, and othe r damage to the windshield
within the camera’s field of vision can cause the
system to operate abnormally. If this occurs, we
recommend that you replace the windshield with a
genuine Honda replacement windshield. Making even
minor repairs within the ca mera’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.
The traffic sign recognition sy stem is not activated for
about 15 seconds after the engine starts.
You can read about handling information for the
camera equipped with this system. 2 Front Wide View Camera P. 551

Brake System
Use the parking brake to keep the vehicle stationary when parked. When the
parking brake is applied, you can ma nually or automatically release it.
■To apply
The electric parking brake can be applied any
time the vehicle has battery, no matter which
position the power mode is in.
Pull the electric parking brake switch up gently
and securely. u The indicator in the switch comes on.
u The parking brake and brake system
indicator (red) comes on.
■To release
The power mode must be in ON in order to
release the electric parking brake.
1. Depress the brake pedal.
2. Press the electric parking brake switch.
u The indicator in the switch goes off.
u The parking brake and brake system
indicator (red) goes off.
Manually releasing the parking brake using
the switch helps your ve hicle start slowly and
smoothly when facing downhill on steep hills.
■Parking Brake1 Parking Brake
You may hear the electric parking brake system
motor operating from the re ar wheel area when you
apply or release the parking brake. This is normal.
The brake pedal may slightly move due to the electric
parking brake system opera tion when you apply or
release the parking br ake. This is normal.
You cannot apply or release the parking brake if the
battery goes dead. 2 If the Battery Is Dead P. 652
If you pull up and hold the electric parking brake
switch while driving, the brakes on all four wheels
are applied by the VSA
® system until the vehicle
comes to a stop. The electric parking brake then
applies, and the switch should be released.
In the following situations, the parking brake
automatically operates.
•When the vehicle stops more than 10 minutes
while Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with Low
Speed Follow is activated.
•When the driver’s seat belt is unfastened while
your vehicle is stopped au tomatically by ACC with
Low Speed Follow.
•When the engine is turned off, except by Auto Idle
Stop system, while ACC with Low Speed Follow is
activated.
•When the vehicle stops with the automatic brake
hold system activated for more than 10 minutes.
•When the driver’s seat belt is unfastened while
your vehicle is stopped and brake hold is applied.
•When the engine is turned off, except by Auto Idle
Stop system, while brake hold system is applied.
•When there is a problem with the brake hold
system while brake hold is applied.

uuBraking uBrake System
Driving
Your vehicle is equipped with disc brakes at all four wheels. A vacuum power assist
helps to reduce the effort needed on th e brake pedal. The brake assist system
increases the stopping force when you depress the brake pedal hard in an
emergency situation. The an ti-lock brake system (ABS) helps you retain steering
control when brak ing very hard.

■Foot Brake1Foot Brake
Check the brakes after driving through deep water,
or if there is a buildup of road surface water. If
necessary, dry the brakes by lightly depressing the
pedal several times.
If you hear a continuous me tallic friction sound when
applying the brakes, this is caused by the brake wear
indicator rubbing on the brake rotor and indicates
that the brake pads need to be replaced. Have the
vehicle checked by a deal er. If you hear only an
occasional squeak or squeal when you initially apply
the brake pedal, this may be normal and caused by
high frequency vibr ation of the brake pads against
the rotating brake disc.
Constantly using the brake pedal while going down a
long hill builds up heat, which reduces the brake
effectiveness. Apply engine braking by taking your
foot off the accelerator pe dal and downshifting to a
speed position.
Do not rest your foot on the brake pedal while
driving, as it will lightly apply the brakes and cause
them to lose effectiveness over time and reduce pad
life. It will also conf use drivers behind you.
