Honda Sensing® (P551)
Honda Sensing ® is a driver support system
which employs the use of two distinctly
different kinds of sensors: the sonar sensors
located in the front and rear bumpers, and
the front grille, and a front wide view
camera mounted to the interior side of the
windshield, behind the rearview mirror.

Collision Mitigation
Braking System
TM
(CMBS
TM) (P555)
The system can assist you when it
determines there is a possibility of your
vehicle colliding with a vehicle (including
motorcycles) 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.

Sonar Sensors*
Low Speed Braking
Control
* (P567)
Using sonar sensors lo cated on the front and
rear bumpers, and the front grille, 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.
Low Speed Braking
Control
* (P573)
Using sonar sensors lo cated on the front and
rear bumpers and the front grille, this
system detects if there is danger of a
potential collision with a wall or other
obstacle during normal driving. The system
then assists in avoiding collisions and
reducing damage from impact through
assistive braking.

Adaptive Cruise Control
(ACC) with Low Speed
Follow
* (P578)
Helps maintain a constant vehicle speed and
a set following-interval behind a vehicle
detected ahead of yours and, if the detected

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.
