■When the system detects a vehicle
Blind spot information system alert indicator:
Located on the outside door mirror on both
sides.
Comes on when:
•A vehicle approaches you from behind to
overtake you at a speed difference of no
more than about 31 mph (50 km/h).
• You pass a vehicle at a speed difference of
no more than about 12 mph (20 km/h).
Blinks and a beeper sounds when:
You use the turn signal lever to signal a turn in
the direction of the detected vehicle while the
blind spot information system alert indicator is
on. u The beeper sounds three times.1Blind Spot Information System
For proper blind spot information system operation:
•Always keep the rear bumper and area around the
radar sensors clean.
•Do not cover the rear bumper corner area with
labels or sticke rs of any kind.
The system is for your convenience only. Even if an
object is within the alert zone, the following
situations may occur:
•The blind spot informatio n system alert indicator
does not come on and the message Blind spot
information system not available appears on
the driver information interface.
•The blind spot informatio n system alert indicator
may come on even with the message displayed.
The Vehicle Stability Assist
TM (VSA ®) system, Adaptive
Cruise Control (ACC) with Low Speed Follow, safety
support, low tire pressure/TPMS
*, and parking brake
and brake system (amber) indicators may come on in
amber along with a message in the driver information
interface when you set the power mode to ON after
reconnecting the 12-volt battery.
Drive a short distance at more than 12 mph (20 km/h).
Each indicator should go off. If any do not, have your
vehicle checked by a dealer.

uuWhen Driving uBlind Spot Information System
Driving
The blind spot information system alert indicator may not come on under the
following conditions:
• There is a large speed difference between your vehicle and the vehicle in the
adjacent lane.
• A vehicle is parked in a side lane.
• An object not detected by the radar sensors approaches or passes your vehicle.
• The vehicle driving in the ad jacent lane is a motorcycle or other small vehicle.
The blind spot information system may not operate correctly under the following
conditions:
• Making a turn at an intersection.
• Objects (guard rails, poles, trees, etc.) are detected.
• An object that does not reflect radio wave s well or a motorcycle is in the alert
zone.
• Driving on a curved road.
• A vehicle is moving from a far lane to the adjacent lane.
• The system picks up signal interference su ch as other radar sensors from another
vehicle or strong radio wave tra nsmitted from a facility nearby.
• The rear bumper or the area around the radar sensors is covered by dirt, mud,
snow, ice, etc.
• The rear bumper or the area around the radar sensors has been damaged or
deformed.
• In bad weather (heavy rain, snow, and fog).
• Making a short turn or driving on a bump y road that slightly tilts the vehicle.
• An object such as a bicycle rack is attached to the rear of the vehicle.

uuWhen Driving uHigh Voltage Battery
Driving
High Voltage Battery
The High Voltage battery gradually discharges even if the vehicle is not in use. As a
result, if your vehicle is parked for an extended period of time, the battery charge
level will become low. Extended periods of ti me at a low state of charge will shorten
battery life. To maintain the battery state of charge, drive your vehicle for more than
30 minutes at least once every three months.
Extreme high temperatures can affect the battery life. You can minimize the effects
by parking the vehicle in the shade during the summer.1 High Voltage Battery
Be careful not to let the High Voltage battery drain
too much. If the battery level becomes close to zero,
it will make it impossible to start the engine.

Honda Sensing®
Honda Sensing® is a driver support system which employs the use of three distinctly
different kinds of sensors: a radar sensor located behind the Honda emblem on the
front grille, a front sensor camera mounted to the interior side of the windshield
behind the rearview mirror, and the sonar sensors located in the front and rear
bumpers.

uuHonda Sensing ®u Collision Mitigation Braking SystemTM (CMBSTM)
Driving
Collision Mitigati on Braking SystemTM (CMBSTM)
The system can assist you when it determin es there is a possibility of your vehicle
colliding with a vehicle (including moto rcycles) ahead from behind, an oncoming
vehicle in front, a pedestrian, or someone riding a bicycle (moving bicycle).
The CMBS
TM is designed to alert you when the po tential for a collision is determined,
as well as assist in reducing speed, avoiding collisions, and reducing collision
severity.
1 Collision Mitigation Braking SystemTM (CMBSTM)
Important Safety Reminder
The CMBS
TM is designed to reduce the severity of an
unavoidable collision. It does not prevent collisions
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. 411
For directions on the prop er handling of the radar
sensor, refer to the following page. 2 Radar Sensor P. 481
You can read about handling information for the
camera equipped with this system. 2 Front Sensor Camera P. 479
When the CMBS
TM is activated, it will continue to
operate even if the accele rator pedal is partially
depressed. However, it w ill be canceled if the
accelerator pedal is fully depressed.

Driving
■How the system works
The CMBS
TM will be canceled when your vehicl e stops or the system determines
there no longer is the potential for a collision.
The CMBS
TM may also be canceled when a driver operates the steering wheel and
the brake or accelerator pe dal to avoid a collision.
1How the system works
The camera in the CMBS
TM is also designed to detect
pedestrians.
However, this pedestrian detection feature may not
activate or may not detect a pedestrian in front of
your vehicle under certain conditions.
Refer to the ones indicating the pedestrian detection
limitations from the list. 2 CMBS
TM Conditions and Limitations P. 411A front sensor
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) or above and will search for a vehicle, pedestrian, or moving bicycle
in front of you.
The CMBS
TM activates when:●The speed difference between your vehicle and a vehicle, pedestrian, or moving
bicycle detected in front of you becomes about 3 mph (5 km/h) and over with a
chance of a collision.
●Your vehicle drives at about 18 mph (30 km/h) or less and there is a chance of a
frontal collision with a detected oncoming vehicle when you turn left at an
intersection.
●Your vehicle speed is about 62 mph (100 km/h) or less and the system determines
there is a chance of a collision with:
- An oncoming or stationary vehicle detected in front of you.
- A pedestrian or moving bicycle detected in front of you.
When to use
The radar sensor is
behind the Honda
emblem on the
front grille.
