Honda Sensing® (P 473)
Honda Sensing ® is a driver support system
which employs the use of two distinctly
different kinds of sens ors: the sonar sensors
located in the front and rear bumper and a
front wide view camera mounted to the
interior side of the windshield, behind the
rearview mirror.

Front Wide View
Camera The camera is located

Sonar Sensors*
Collision Mitigation
Braking System
TM
(CMBS
TM) (P 476)
The system can assist you when it
determines there is a possibility of your
vehicle colliding with a vehicle 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 potential for a collision
is determined, as well as assist in reducing
speed, avoiding collisions, and reducing
collision severity.
Low Speed Braking
Control
* (P488)
Using sonar sensors located on the front and
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 depressed
with too much force. The system then assists
in avoiding collisions and reducing damage
from impact through assistive braking and/
or assistive driving power suppression.
Adaptive Cruise Control
(ACC) with Low Speed
Follow
(P494)
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.
Lane Keeping Assist
System (LKAS)
(P 516)
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.
* Not available on all models

Quick Reference Guide
Traffic Jam Assist (P528)
The traffic jam assist system uses a camera
mounted to the uppe r portion of the
windshield to detect and monitor left and
right white (or yellow) traffic lane lines.
Based on inputs from the camera, the
system can apply steering torque to keep
your vehicle in the center of the detected
lane.
Road Departure
Mitigation System
(P 537)
Alerts and helps assist you when the system
detects a possibility of your vehicle crossing
over detected lane markings, or
approaching the outer edge of the
pavement (into grass or gravel border) or a
detected oncoming vehicle.
Traffic Sign Recognition
System
(P545 )
Reminds you of road si gn information, such
as the current speed limit your vehicle has
just passed through, showing it on the
gauge.

Your Vehicle’s Safety Features
The following checklist will help you take an active role in protecting yourself and
your passengers.
1 Your 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 th at tighten the front and
rear outer 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.

uuAirbags uAirbag System Components
Safe Driving
The front, front knee, si de, and side curtain
airbags are deployed according to the
direction and severity of impact. Both side
curtain airbags are depl oyed 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 knee airbags. Th e driver's knee
airbag is stored under the steering
column; the front passenger's knee
airbag is stored under the glove box.
Both are marked SRS AIRBAG.
cFour side airbags, one for the driver, one
for the front passenger and one each for
the rear outboard occupants. The front
airbags are stored in the outer edges of
the seat-backs and the rear airbags are
stored next to the outer rear seating
positions. All are marked SIDE AIRBAG.
dTwo side curtain airbags, 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 .
eAn electronic control unit that, when the
power mode is in 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.
fAutomatic seat belt tensioners for the
front seats and outer rear seats. In
addition, the driver’s and front
passenger’s seat belt buckles incorporate
sensors that detect whether or not the
belts are fastened.
gDriver’s seat position sensor. This sensor
detects the driver’s seat slide position to
help determine the optimal deployment
of the driver’s airbag.
hWeight sensors in the front passenger’s
seat. The sensors are used for occupant
classification to activa te or deactivate the
front passenger’s airbag.
iImpact sensors that can detect a
moderate-to-severe front or side impact.
jAn indicator on the center console that
alerts you that the front passenger’s front
airbag has been turned off.
kAn indicator on the instrument panel that
alerts you to a possib le problem with your
airbag system or seat belt tensioners.
lA rollover sensor that can detect if your
vehicle is about to roll over and signal the
control unit to deploy both side curtain
airbags.

uuAirbags uAirbag System Components
Safe DrivingAirbags can pose serious hazards. To do their job, airbags must inflate with
tremendous force. So, while airbags help sa ve lives, they can cause burns, bruises,
and other minor injuries, sometimes even fatal ones if occupants are not wearing
their seat belts properl y and sitting correctly.
What you should do: Always wear your seat belt properly and sit upright and as
far back from the steering wheel as possible while allowing full control of the
vehicle. A front passenger should move their seat as far back from the dashboard as
possible.
Remember, however, that no safety system ca n prevent all injuries or deaths that
can occur in a severe crash, even when s eat belts are properly worn and the airbags
deploy.
Do not place hard or sharp objects between yourself and a front airbag.
Carrying hard or sharp objects on your lap, or driving with a pipe or other sharp
object in your mouth, can result in in juries if your front airbag inflates.
Do not attach or place objects on th e front and front knee airbag covers.
Objects on the covers marked SRS AIRBAG could interfere with the proper
operation of the airbags or be propelled inside the vehicle and hurt someone if the
airbags inflate.
■Important Facts About Your Airbags1 Important Facts About Your Airbags
Do not attempt to deactivate your airbags. Together,
airbags and seat belts pr ovide the best protection.
When driving, keep hands and arms out of the
deployment path of the front airbag by holding each
side of the steering wheel. Do not cross an arm over
the airbag cover.
