Driving
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) *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. 1 Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) *
Important Reminder
As with any system, there are limits to ACC. Use the
brake pedal whenever necessary, and always keep a
safe interval betw een your vehicle an d other vehicles.3
WARNING Improper use of ACC can lead to a crash.
Use ACC only when driving on
expressways or freeways in good
weather conditions.
3
WARNING ACC has limited braking capability.
When your vehicle speed drops below
25 mph (40 km/h), ACC will
automatically cancel and no longer will
apply your ve hicle’s brakes.
Always be prepared to apply the brake
pedal when conditions require.When to use
■ Vehicle speed for adaptive cruise c ontrol: Desired speed in a range above
roughly 25 mph (40 km/h) ~.
■ Gear position for ACC: In ( 2
or higher position. The radar sensor is at the
lower part of the front
bumper.The camera is
located behind the
rearview mirror.
* Not available on all models

Driving The system may automatically shut off and the ACC indicator will come on under
certain conditions. Some examples of th ese conditions are listed below. Other
conditions may reduce some of the ACC functions.
■ Environmental conditions
• Driving in bad weather (rain, fog, snow, etc.).
■ Roadway conditions
• Driving on a snowy or wet roadway (obscured lane marking, vehicle tracks,
reflected lights, road spray, high contrast).
■ Vehicle conditions
• The outside of the windshie ld is blocked by dirt, m ud, leaves, wet snow, etc.
• An abnormal tire or wheel condition (Wrong sized, varied size or construction,
improperly inflated, comp act spare tire, etc.).
• The camera temperature gets too high.
• The parking brake is applied.
• When the radar sensor cover is dirty.
• When the front of the vehicle tilts up due to heavy cargo in the trunk or rear seats.
• When tire chains *
are installed.■ ACC Conditions and Limitations 1 ACC Conditions and Limitations
For directions on the prop er handling of the radar
sensor, refer to the following page.
2 Radar Sensor P. 570
You can read about handling information for the
camera equipped with this system.
2 Front Sensor Camera P. 568
Always keep the radar sensor cover clean.
Never use chemical solvents or polishing powder for
cleaning the sensor cover. Clean it with water or a
mild detergent.
Do not put a sticker on the radar sensor cover or
replace the radar sensor cover.
If you need the radar sensor to be repaired, or
removed, or the radar se nsor cover is strongly
impacted, turn off the system by pressing the MAIN
button and take your vehicle to a dealer.
Have your vehicle checked by a dealer if you find any
unusual behavior of the sy stem (e.g., the warning
message appears too frequently).
If the front of the vehicle is impacted in any of the
following situations, the ra dar sensor may not work
properly. Have your vehi cle checked by a dealer:
• The vehicle mounted onto a bump, curb, chock,
embankment, etc.
• You drive the vehicle where the water is deep.
• Your vehicle has a frontal collision.
* Not available on all models

Driving
■ Detection limitations
• A vehicle suddenly crosses in front of you.
• The interval between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead of you is too short.
• A vehicle cuts in front of you at a slow speed, and it brakes suddenly.
• When you accelerate rapidly and approach the vehicle ahead of you at high
speed.
• The vehicle ahead of you is a motorcycle, bicycle, mobilit y scooter, or other small
vehicle.
• When there are animals in front of your vehicle.
• When you drive on a curved or winding or undulating road that makes it difficult
for the sensor to properly detect a vehicle in front of you.
• The speed difference between your vehi cle and a vehicle in front of you is
significantly large.
• An oncoming vehicle suddenly comes in front of you.
• Your vehicle abruptly crosses over in front of an oncoming vehicle.

■ Automatic ca ncellation
The beeper sounds and a message appears on the driver information interface when
ACC is automatically cancel ed. Any of these conditions may cause the ACC to
automatically cancel:
• Bad weather (rain, fog, snow, etc.)
• When the radar sensor at the lower part of the front bumper gets dirty.
• The vehicle ahead of yo u cannot be detected.
• An abnormal tire condition is de tected, 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 you manually apply the parking brake.
• When the detected vehicle within the AC C 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.
• Ignoring shift down indication shown in the tachometer display will cancel the
ACC after about 10 seconds.
• The engine speed goes into the tachometer’s red zone.
• The engine speed goes to below 1,000 rpm.
• You shift into neutral temporarily when shifting into a higher or lower gear.
In the following cases, a buzzer sounds, ACC is deactivated, and the Cruise
Cancelled: Slope Too Steep. Watch Downhill Speed message appears in the
driver information interface.
• The vehicle has repeatedly applied the brakes to maintain the set speed (for
example, you are descending a long slope). 1 Automatic cancellation
Even though ACC has been automatically canceled,
you can still resume the prior set speed.
Wait until the condition that caused ACC to cancel
improves, then press the SET / – button.

558 uu Honda Sensing ® u Road Departure Mitigation (RDM) System
Driving Road Departure Mitigation (RDM) System Alerts and helps to assist you when the system determines a possibility of your
vehicle unintentionally crossing over dete cted lane markings and/or leaving the
roadway altogether.
The front camera behind the rearview mirror
monitors left and right la ne markings (in white
or yellow). If your vehicle is getting too close
to detected lane markings without a turn
signal activated, the sy stem, in addition to a
visual alert, applies st eering torque and alerts
you with rapid vibrations on the steering
wheel, to help you remain within the detected
lane. 2 Customized Features P. 370, 381
As a visual alert, the Lane Departure
message appears on the driver information
interface.
If the system determines that its steering i nput is insufficient to keep your vehicle on
the roadway, it may apply braking.
u Braking is applied only when the lane markings are solid continuous lines.
The system cancels assistin g operations when you turn the steering wheel to avoid
crossing over detected lane markings.
If the system operates several times withou t detecting driver response, the system
beeps to alert you.■ How the System Works 1 Road Departure Mitigation (RDM) System
Important Safety Reminder
Like all assistance systems, the RDM system has
limitations.
Over-reliance on the RDM system may result in a
collision. It is always your responsibility to keep the
vehicle within your driving lane.
The RDM system only alerts you when lane drift is
detected without a turn signal in use. The RDM
system may not detect all la ne markings or lane or
roadway departures; accu racy will vary based on
weather, speed and lane marker condition. It is
always your responsibilit y to safely operate the
vehicle and avoid collisions.
You can read about handling information for the
camera equipped with this system.
2 Front Sensor Camera P. 568
The RDM system may not wo rk properly or may work
improperly under the certain conditions:
2 RDM Conditions and Limitations P. 560
There are times when you may not notice RDM
functions due to your opera tion of the vehicle, or
road surface conditions.
In the following case, a beeper sounds, a message
related to the ACC with LSF *
/ACC *
appears on the
driver information interfac e, and the braking function
controlled by the RDM system is canceled.
• The vehicle has repeatedly applied the brakes to
maintain the set speed (for example, you are
descending a long slope).
