Driving
Vehicle Stability AssistTM (VSA ®), aka Electronic
Stability Control (ESC), System
VSA ® helps stabilize the vehicle during cornering if the vehicle turns more or less
than what was intended. It also assists in maintaining traction on slippery surfaces.
It does so by regulating engine outp ut and selectively applying the brakes.
When VSA ® activates, you may notice that the
engine does not respond to the accelerator.
You may also notice some noise from the
hydraulic brake system. You will also see the
indicator blink.

■VSA ® Operation
1 Vehicle Stability AssistTM (VSA® ), aka Electronic Stability Control
(ESC), System
The VSA ® may not function properl y if tire type and
size are mixed. Make sure to use the same size and
type of tire, and the air pressures as specified.
When the VSA® system indicator comes on and stays on
while driving, there may be a problem with the system.
While this may not interfere with normal driving, have
your vehicle checked by a dealer immediately.
The Vehicle Stability AssistTM (VSA ®) system, Vehicle
Stability AssistTM (VSA ®) OFF*, Adaptive Cruise Control
(ACC)*, Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with Low
Speed Follow*, low tire pressure/TPMS* and safety
support indicators may come on in amber along with a
message in the gauge when you set the power mode
to ON after reconn ecting the 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.
VSA ® cannot enhance stability in all driving situations
and does not control the entire braking system. You
still need to drive and corner at speeds appropriate
for the conditions and alwa ys leave a sufficient
margin of safety.
The main function of the VSA ® system is generally
known as Electronic Stability Control (ESC). The
system also includes a traction control function.

■When in +R Drive mode
To completely disable VSA®, press and hold
the VSA® OFF button until you hear a single
beep, then later two more beeps. u Vehicle stability assist system fully
OFF message appears on the driver
information interface.
To resume VSA® full function, press the VSA ®
OFF button until a single beep is heard.
If VSA ® OFF mode is selected, and drive mode
is changed to a mode other than +R, VSA ® full
function will resume, and the VSA ® OFF
indicator will goes off.
Models without Auto Idle Stop
1 When in +R Drive mode
In OFF mode, your vehicle will have normal braking
and cornering ability, bu t it will not have VSA®
traction and stability enhancement.
When the VSA ® system is off, the traction control
system is also off.
We do not recommend driving your vehicle with the
VSA ® and traction control system switched off.
When you completely disable VSA® , you cannot use
Adaptive Cruise Control ( ACC) or the Lane Keeping
Assist System (LKAS).
Low Speed Braking Control
*, Road Departure
Mitigation System and Co llision Mitigation Braking

TM (CMBSTM) do not function while VSA ® is
completely disabled.
Some of the VSA ® features cannot be completely
turned off while driving.

uuWhen Driving uTire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)*
Driving
You must start TPMS calibration every time you:
• Adjust the pressure in one or more tires.
• Rotate the tires.
• Replace one or more tires.
Before calibrating the TPMS:
• Set the cold tire pressure in all four tires.

•The vehicle is at a complete stop.
• The power mode is in ON.
• The transmission is in

The Vehicle Stability AssistTM (VSA ®) system, Vehicle
Stability AssistTM (VSA ®) OFF*, Adaptive Cruise
Control (ACC)*, Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with
Low Speed Follow*, low tire pressure/TPMS and
safety support indicators may come on in amber
along with a message in the gauge when you set the
power mode to ON after reconnecting the 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.
■TPMS Calibration1 TPMS Calibration
TPMS cannot be calibrated if a compact spare tire
* is
installed.
The calibration process requires approximately 30
minutes of cumulative dr iving at speeds between
31-62 mph (50-100 km/h).
During this period, if power mode is set to ON and
the vehicle is not moved within 45 seconds, you may
notice the low tire pressure/TPMS indicator comes on
briefly. This is normal and indicates that the
calibration process is not yet complete.
If the tire chains
* are installed, remove them before
calibrating the TPMS.
If the low tire pressure/TPMS indicator comes on even
when the properly inflated specified regular tires are
installed, have your vehicle checked by a dealer.
We recommend that the tires be replaced with the
same brand, model, and size as the originals. Ask a
dealer for details.

uuHonda Sensing ®u Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with Low Speed Follow*
Driving
Adaptive Cruise Control (A CC) with Low Speed Follow*
Helps maintain a constant vehicle speed a nd a set following-interval behind a vehicle
detected ahead of yours and, if the detect ed vehicle comes to a stop, can decelerate
and stop your vehicle, without you having to keep your foot on the brake or the
accelerator.
When ACC with Low Speed Follow slows y our vehicle by applying the brakes, your
vehicle's brake lights will illuminate.1 Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with Low Speed Follow*
Important Reminder
As with any system, there are limits to ACC with Low
Speed Follow. Use the brake pedal whenever
necessary, and always keep a safe interval between
your vehicle and other vehicles.
3WARNING
Improper use of ACC with Low Speed
Follow can lead to a crash.
Use ACC with Low Speed Follow only
when driving on expressways or freeways
and in good road and weather conditions.
3WARNING
ACC with Low Speed Follow has limited
braking capability and may not stop your
vehicle in time to avoid a collision with a
vehicle that quickly stops in front of you.
Always be prepared to apply the brake
pedal if the conditions require.
When to use
■Vehicle speed for ACC wi th Low Speed Follow: A vehicle is detected ahead
within ACC with Low Speed Follow range – ACC with Low Speed Follow
operates at speeds up to 90 mph (145 km/h).
No vehicle is detected within ACC with Low Speed Follow range – ACC with
Low Speed Follow operates at the speed of 25 mph (40 km/h) or above.
■Shift position for ACC with Low Speed Follow: In ( D or (S*.
A front wide view camera is
located behind the rearview
mirror.
