Quick Reference Guide
Honda Sensing®
Honda Sensing® is 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 rear view mirror.
The camera is located 
behind the rearview 
mirror.

Adaptive Cruise Control 
(ACC) with Low Speed 
Follow 
(P485)
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.
Road Departure 
Mitigation (RDM) System 
(P501)
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) 
(P505)
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) (P536)
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.

Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with Low Speed Follow
Helps maintain a constant vehicle speed and 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 Low Speed Follo w slows your vehicle by applying the brakes, your 
vehicle’s brake lights will illuminate.1 Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with Low Speed Follow
Important Reminder
As with any system, there are limits to ACC with Low 
Speed Follow. Use the brake pedal whenever 
necessary, and always keep a safe distance between 
your vehicle and other vehicles.

■Automatic cancellation
The beeper sounds and a message appears on the driver information interface when 
ACC with Low Speed Follow is automaticall y canceled. Any of these conditions may 
cause the ACC with Low Speed Fo llow 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 Low Speed Follow 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 enclos ed space, such as tunnel.
The ACC with Low Speed Follow automatic ca ncellation can be also triggered by the 
following causes. In these cases, the pa rking 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.

Important Safety Reminder
The CMBS
TM is designed to reduce the severity of an 
unavoidable collision. It does not prevent collision nor 
stop the vehicle automatically. It is still your 
responsibility to operate th e brake pedal and steering 
wheel appropriately acco rding to the driving 
conditions.
The CMBS
TM may not activate or may not detect a 
vehicle in front of y our vehicle under certain 
conditions:

■How the system works
The system starts monitoring the roadway ah ead when your vehicle speed is about 
3 mph (5 km/h) and there is a vehicle in front of you. The radar sensor is 
in the front grille.
The CMBS
TM activates when:●The speed difference between your vehicle and a vehicle or pedestrian detected in 
front of you becomes about 3 mph (5 km/h) and over with a chance of a collision.
●Your vehicle speed is about 62 mph (100 km/h) or less and the system 
determines there is a chance of a collision with:
 - Vehicles detected in front of you that are stationary, oncoming, or traveling in 
your same direction.
 - A pedestrian who is detected in front of you.
●Your vehicle speed is above 62 mph (100 km/h), and the system determines 
there is a chance of a collision with a vehicle detected in front of you traveling 
in your same direction. The camera is 
located behind the 
rearview mirror.

How the system works
When the CMBS
TM activates, it  may automatically 
apply the brake. It will be  canceled when your vehicle 
stops or a potential coll ision is not determined.
