Quick Reference Guide
Honda SensingTM *
Honda SensingTM is a driver support system 
which employs the use of two distinctly 
different kinds of sensors, a radar sensor 
located in the lower bumper next to the fog 
light
* and a front sensor camera mounted to 
the interior side of the windshield, behind 
the rearview mirror.
The camera is 
located behind the 
rearview mirror.

Adaptive Cruise Control 
(ACC) with Low Speed 
Follow (LSF)
* (P 479)
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, wi thout you having to 
keep your foot on the brake or the 
accelerator.
Adaptive Cruise Control 
(ACC)
* (P 495)
Helps maintain a constant vehicle speed and 
a set following-interval behind a vehicle 
detected ahead of yours, without you 
having to keep your foot on the brake or 
the accelerator.
Road Departure 
Mitigation (RDM) System 
(P 509)
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.
Lane Keeping Assist 
System (LKAS) 
(P 513)
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.
Collision Mitigation 
Braking System
TM 
(CMBS
TM) (P 541)
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
TM 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.

When you are driving after dark, the 
automatic dimming rearview mirror reduces 
the glare from headlights behind you, based 
on inputs from the mirror sensor. This feature 
is always active.

Driving
Front Sensor Camera*
The camera, used in systems such as LKAS, RDM, ACC*, ACC with LSF*, CMBSTM 
and auto high-beam, 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 
system to shut off, when parking, find a shady 
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, hood, or front  grill that could obstruct 
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 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 Honda replacem ent windshield. Making 
even minor repairs within th e camera’s field of vision 
or installing an aftermarket 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.

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 comes to a stop, can decelerate 
and stop your ve hicle, 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 interval 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 limite d 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 25 mph (40km/h) or above.
■Shift position for ACC with LSF: In ( D or (S. The radar sensor is in 
the lower bumper 
next to the fog light
*.
Be careful not to have 
the radar sensor cover 
strongly impacted.
The camera is 
located behind 
the rearview 
mirror.

Driving
■Automatic cancellation
The beeper sounds and a message appears on the driver information interface 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 lower bumper next to the fog light
* 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.
• When the Maximum Load  Limit is exceeded.
• When passing through an enclosed space, such  as tunnel.
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 unfasten ed when the vehicle 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  –/SET button.

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.
When to use
