■Examples of limitations on the correc t detection of the camera due to the
condition of the vehicle ahead of you, oncoming vehicles, pedestrians, or
moving bicycles
• The distance between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead of you, oncoming
vehicle, pedestrian, or moving bicycle ahead of you is too short.
• The vehicle ahead of you, oncoming vehicle, pedestrian, or moving bicycle
suddenly cuts in front of or jumps out in front of you.
• The bicycle is stopped.
• The oncoming vehicle or vehicle ahead of you is sideways.
• When the vehicle ahead of you, oncoming vehicle, pedestrian, or moving bicycle
blends in with the background, preventing the system from recognizing them.
• When several pedestrians or bicycles are moving ahead of you in a group.
• When a pedestrian or moving bicy cle crosses the road too quickly.
• A pedestrian or moving bicycle approaches from the opposite direction.
• The headlights of the vehicle ahead of you or oncoming vehicle are lit on one side
or not lit on either side in a dark place.
• When part of a pedestrian (heads, limbs, etc.) is hidden by load.
• When a pedestrian is bent over or squatting, when their hands are raised, or they
are running.
• When the pedestrian is shorte r than about 3.3 feet (1 meter) or taller than about
6.6 feet (2 meters) in height.
• When the pedestrian is push ing a stroller or bicycle.1Collision Mitigation Braking SystemTM (CMBSTM)
Make sure that all the tires are of the same specified
size, type and brand, and that they are evenly worn.
If you use tires of different sizes, types, brands, or
degree of wear, the syst em may not work properly.
Do not modify the suspensi on. Altering the height of
the vehicle may prevent the system from working
properly.

■Examples of other limitations on detection or system operation
• When the vehicle ahead of you is a motorcycle, wheelch air, or other specially-
shaped vehicle.
• When a vehicle is lower in the rear than the front such as trucks that are not
carrying a load, or a narrow vehicle.
• When the vehicle ahead of you, oncoming vehicle, pedestrian or moving bicycle
is not in front of the vehicle.
• The speed difference between your vehi cle and the vehicle ahead of you,
oncoming vehicle, pedestrian or moving bicycle is significantly large.
• When the vehicle or moving bicycle in front of you slows suddenly.
• When the driver operates the brake pedal and steering wheel to avoid a collision.
• When you approach the vehicle ahead of you, oncoming vehicle, pedestrians or
moving bicycles while accelerating rapidl y or operating the steering wheel (except
when turning left at an intersection etc.)

• When the moving bicycle is a child-sized bicycle, folding bicycle, three-wheeler or
other bicycle with small tires, or a long bicycle like a tandem bicycle.
• When the camera cannot correctly identify the shape of the vehicle ahead of you,
oncoming vehicle, pedestrian, or moving bicycle.
• When the minimum ground clearance of a vehicle ahead of you is extremely high.
*1 : When there is a possibility of a frontal collision with the oncoming vehicle while turning left, the CMBSTM
is activated. However, it may not be acti vated if you suddenly turn the steering wheel.

■Automatic shutoff
The CMBSTM may automatically shut itself o ff and the safety support indicator
(amber) comes and stays on when:
• You drive off-road or on a mountain road, or curved and winding road for an
extended period.
• Driving in bad weather (rain, fog, snow, etc.).
• Driving with the parking brake applied.
• The camera temperature gets too high.
• The front of the camera is covered by dirt, fog, rain, mud, wet snow, seals,
accessories, stickers, or film on the windshield.
• An abnormal tire condition is detected (incorrect tire size, flat tire, etc.).
Once the conditions that caused the CMBS
TM to shut off improve or are addressed
(e.g., cleaning), the system comes back on.

uuHonda Sensing ®u Low Speed Braking Control*
Driving
Low Speed Braking Control*
Using sonar sensors located on the front an d rear bumpers, this system detects if
there is danger of a potential collision with a wall or other obstacle during normal
driving or when the accelerator pedal is de pressed with too much force. The system
then assists in avoiding collisions an d reducing damage from impact through
assistive braking and/or assistive driving power suppression.1 Low Speed Braking Control*
If the Low Speed Braking Control activates in a
situation where you do not want automatic brake
application (such as when the vehicle is between two
railroad crossing gates), simply press the brake pedal
to deactivate the system and then continue to drive
as intended.
3WARNING
The Low Speed Braking Control System
cannot avoid all collisions and may not
reduce damage in each situation where the
accelerator is mistaken ly or aggressively
pressed. Overreliance on the system may
result in a collision with serious injury or
death. Always check your surroundings,
your shift position, and your pedal use.
Driver remains responsible for safely
operating the vehicle.

■Assistive braking
Assistive braking provides a visual and audible alert when the vehicle is moving
between approximately 1 and 6 mph (2 and 10 km/h) and there is the possibility of
a collision with a detected wall or other ob stacles, as well as providing assistance
with braking.
If the only rear sensors are turned off usi ng the parking sensor system, the assistive
braking is not working when reversing.
