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.

Your Vehicle's Safety Features
The following checklist will help you take an active role in protecting yourself and 
your passengers.
1Your Vehicle's Safety Features
Your vehicle is equipped wi th many features that 
work together to help protect you and your 
passengers during a crash.
Some features do not require any action on your part. 
These include a strong steel framework that forms a 
safety cage around the passenger compartment, 
front and rear crush zone s, a collapsible steering 
column, and tensioners that  tighten the front seat 
belts in a sufficient crash.
However, you and your passe ngers cannot take full 
advantage of these features unless you remain seated 
in the correct position and  always wear your seat 
belts. In fact, some safety  features can contribute to 
injuries if they are not used properly.

Safe Driving
The front, front side, and side curtain 
airbags are deployed according to the 
direction and severity of impact. Both side 
curtain airbags are deployed in a rollover. 
The airbag system includes:
aTwo SRS (Supplemental Restraint System) 
front airbags. The driver's airbag is stored 
in the center of the steering wheel; the 
front passenger's airbag is stored in the 
dashboard. Both are marked  SRS 
AIRBAG.
bTwo side airbags, one for the driver and 
one for a front passenger. The airbags are 
stored in the outer edges of the seat-
backs. Both are marked  SIDE AIRBAG.
cTwo side curtain ai rbags, one for each 
side of the vehicle. The airbags are stored 
in the ceiling, above the side windows. 
The front and rear pillars are marked 
SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAG .
dAn electronic control unit that, when the 
vehicle is on, continually monitors 
information about the various impact 
sensors, seat and buckle sensors, rollover 
sensor, airbag activators, seat belt 
tensioners, and other vehicle 
information. During a crash event the 
unit can record such information.
eAutomatic front seat belt tensioners. In 
addition, the driver's and front 
passenger's seat belt buckles incorporate 
sensors that detect whether or not the 
belts are fastened.
fA driver's seat position sensor. This 
sensor determines the optimal force at 
which the airbag will deploy in a crash.
gWeight sensors in the front passenger's 
seat. The front passenger's airbag will be 
turned off if the weight on the seat is 
approximately 65 lbs (29 kg) or less (the 
weight of an infant or small child).
hImpact sensors that can detect a 
moderate-to-severe front or side impact.
iAn indicator on the dashboard that alerts 
you that the front passenger's front 
airbag has been turned off.
jAn indicator on the instrument panel that 
alerts you to a possib le problem with your 
airbag system or seat belt tensioners.
kA rollover sensor that can detect if your 
vehicle is about to ro ll over and signal the 
control unit to deploy both side curtain 
airbags.
