Quick Reference Guide
Honda Sensing ® (P 507)
Honda Sensing ® is a driver support system
which employs the use of two distinctly
different kinds of sensors, a radar sensor
located at the lower part of the front
bumper and a front sensor camera mounted
to the interior side of the windshield,
behind the rear view mirror.
Front Sensor
Camera The camera is located
behind the rearview
mirror.
Radar Sensor
The radar sensor is at
the lower part of the
front bumper. Collision Mitigation
Braking System TM

(CMBS TM
) (P 510)
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 (LSF) *
(P519)
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, without you having to keep
your foot on the brake or the accelerator. Adaptive Cruise Control
(ACC) *
(P 535)
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.
Lane Keeping Assist
System (LKAS) (P 550)
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.

2 Exhaust Gas Hazard P. 75
To lock a seat-back upright, push it backwards until it
locks.
When returning the seat-back to its original position,
push it firmly back. Also, m ake sure all rear shoulder
belts are positioned in front of the seat-back, and the
center shoulder belt is re -positioned in the guide.
Make sure that the folded seat-back does not press
against the front passenger se at, as this can cause the
weight sensors in the front passenger seat to work
improperly.
2 Passenger Front Airbag Off Indicator P. 59
Make sure all items in the trunk or items
extending through the opening into the rear
seat is properly secured. Loose items can fly
forward if you have to brake hard.
The front seat(s) must be far enough forward so they

Driving Collision Mitigati on Braking System TM
(CMBS TM
)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.
■ How the system works 1 Collision Mitigation Braking System TM
(CMBS TM
)
Important Safety Reminder
The CMBS TM
is designed to reduce the severity of an
unavoidable collision. It do es not prevent a collision
nor stop the vehicle automati cally. It is still your
responsibility to operate the 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:
2 CMBS TM
Conditions and Limitations P. 514
You can read about handling information for the
camera equipped with this system.
2 Front Sensor Camera P. 568
For directions on the prop er handling of the radar
sensor, refer to the following page.
2 Radar Sensor P. 570
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.The radar sensor is at the
lower part of the front
bumper.The camera is located
behind the rearview
mirror.
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. When to use
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 ar e 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.
