Driving
Press and hold the Interval button for one
second. Cruise mode selected appears on
the driver information interface for two
seconds, and then the mode switches to
Cruise.
The indicator comes on.
• Green: The system is on.
• White: The system is standby.
To switch back to ACC, press and hold the
Interval button again for one second.
■When to use
Desired speed in a range above roughly 25 mph (40 km/h).
Take your foot off the pedal and press the RES/+/SET/− switch up or down when
you reach the desired speed.
The moment you release the RES/+/SET/− switch, the set speed is fixed, and cruise
control begins. The color of indicator changes from white to green.
When you use cruise control, Straight Driv ing Assist (a feature of the Electric Power
Steering system) is activated.
By enabling the steering system to automa tically compensate for natural steering
pull, Straight Driving Assist makes it easier for you to keep your vehicle in a straight
line.
■To Switch ACC to Cruise Control1 To Switch ACC to Cruise Control
Always be aware which mode you are in. When you
are driving in Cruise mode, the system will not assist
you to maintain a following-interval from a vehicle
ahead of you.
You cannot switch ACC to Cruise Control in the

Driving
Road Departure Mi tigation System
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 bord er) or a detected oncoming vehicle.
The front wide view camera behind the
rearview mirror monitors left and right lane
markings in white or yellow, the outer edge of
the pavement (bordered by grass or gravel) or
a detected oncoming vehicles.
If your vehicle approach es any detected lane
markings, the outer edge of the pavement
(bordered by grass or gravel) or a detected
oncoming vehicles when the turn signals have
not been engaged, the system activates. u
If the system cannot detect lane markings
(in white or yellow), no assistance will be
provided to avoid approaching oncoming
vehicles. In addition to a visual alert, the
system assists with steering and alerts you
with rapid steering wheel vibrations to help
you remain within the detected lane.

■How the System Works
1Road Departure Mitigation System
Important Safety Reminder
Like all assistance systems, the Road Departure
Mitigation system has limitations.
Overreliance on the Road Departure Mitigation system
may result in a collision. It is always your responsibility to
keep the vehicle within your driving lane.
The Road Departure Mitiga tion system alerts you
when the system detects that you are approaching
the outer edge of the paveme nt (into grass or gravel
border), an oncoming vehicle, or drifting into another
lane without using a turn signal.
The Road Departure Mitigation system may not detect
all lane markings or ever y instance of lane drift.
The Road Departure Miti gation system may not
detect that you are approa ching the outer edge of
the pavement (bordered by grass or gravel) or an
oncoming vehicle.
The Road Departure Mitiga tion system may not be
able to assist you depend ing on weather, speed or
road conditions.
The Road Departure Mitigation system is not activated
for about 15 seconds af ter the engine starts.
You can read about handling information for the
camera equipped with this system. 2 Front Wide View Camera P. 653

uuHonda Sensing ®u Traffic Sign Recognition System
Continued
Driving
Traffic Sign Recognition System
Reminds you of road sign information, such as the current speed limit your vehicle
has just passed through, showing it on the gauge.
When the camera located behind the rear view mirror captures traffic signs while
driving, the system displays the ones that are recognized as designated for your
vehicle. The sign icon will be displayed un til the vehicle reaches a predetermined
time and distance.
If the system does not detect any traffic signs while you are driving, the sign icon will
not be displayed.
The sign icon also may switch to another one, or disappear when:
• The end of speed limit or other designated limit is detected.
• You make a turn with a turn signal at an intersection.
■How the System Works
1Traffic Sign Recognition System
Not all signs may be displa yed, but any signs posted
on roadsides should not be ignored. The system does
not work on the designated traffic signs of all the
countries you travel, nor in all situations.
Do not rely too much on the system. Always drive at
speeds appropriate fo r the road conditions.
Never apply a film or attach any objects to the
windshield that could obstruc t the camera's field of
vision and cause the system to operate abnormally.
Scratches, nicks, and othe r damage to the windshield
within the camera's field of vision can cause the
system to operate abnormally. If this occurs, we
recommend that you replace the windshield with a
genuine Honda replacement windshield. Making even
minor repairs within the ca mera's field of vision or
installing an aftermarket replacement windshield may
also cause the system to operate abnormally. After
replacing the windshi eld, have a dealer recalibrate the
camera. Proper calibration of the camera is necessary
for the system to operate properly.
The traffic sign recognition sy stem is not activated for
about 15 seconds after the engine starts.
You can read about handling information for the
camera equipped with this system. 2 Front Wide View Camera P. 653

• Driving in bad weather (rain, fog, snow, etc.).
• Sudden changes between light and dark, such as the entrance or exit of a tunnel
or the shadows of trees, buildings, etc.
• Water is sprayed by or snow blown from a vehicle ahead.

Front Wide View Camera
The camera, used in systems such as Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS), Road
Departure Mitigation system, Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with Low Speed
Follow
*, Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)*, Traffic Sign Recognition system, CMBSTM,
and Traffic Jam Assist*, is designed to detect an ob ject that triggers any of the
systems to operate their functions.
This camera is located behind the rearview
mirror.
To help reduce the likelihood that high interior
temperatures will cause the camera's sensing
system to shut off, when parking, find a shady
area or face the front of the vehicle away from
the sun. If you use a reflective sun shade, do
not allow it to cover the camera housing.
Covering the camera can concentrate heat on
it.
■Camera Location and Handling Tips
1 Front Wide View Camera
Never apply a film or attach any objects to the
windshield, the hood, or th e front grille that could
obstruct the camera's fiel d of vision and cause the
system to operate abnormally.
Scratches, nicks, and othe r damage to the windshield
within the camera's fiel d of vision can cause the
system to operate abnormall y. If this occurs, we
recommend that you replac e the windshield with a
genuine Honda replacem ent windshield. Making
even minor repairs within th e camera's field of vision
or installing an aftermarket replacement windshield
may also cause the system to operate abnormally.
After replacing the winds hield, have a dealer
recalibrate the camera. Pr oper calibration of the
camera is necessary for the system to operate
properly.
Do not place an object on the top of the instrument
panel. It may reflect onto the windshield and prevent
the system from detecting lane lines properly.
