uuWhen Driving uVehicle Stability Assist ® (VSA ®), aka Electronic Stability Control (ESC), System
Continued
Driving
Vehicle Stability Assist ® (VSA ®), aka Electronic
Stability Control (ESC), System
VSA ® helps to stabilize the vehicle during corn ering 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 system. You will also see the
indicator blink.
■VSA ® Operation
1 Vehicle Stability Assist ® (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 ma y be a problem with the
system. While this may not interfere with normal
driving, have your vehi cle checked by a dealer
immediately.
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.

short distance at more than 12 mph (20 km/h). The
indicator should go off. If it does not, have your
vehicle checked by a dealer.

uuWhen Driving uVehicle Stability Assist ® (VSA ®), aka Electronic Stability Control (ESC), System
Driving
■When the drive mode is in +R mode
To completely disable VSA®, the VSA® must be
in +R mode. Press and hold the VSA ® OFF
button until you hear a si ngle beep, then later
two more beeps.
u This 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.
2.0 L engine models
1 When the drive mode is in +R 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). If either feature is in use when
you completely disable VSA ®, the feature in use will
automatically be canceled.
Road Departure Mitigati on (RDM) System and
Collision Mitigati on Braking System
TM (CMBSTM) do
not function while VSA ® is completely disabled.

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.
2 Checking Tires P. 605
Make sure:
•The vehicle is at a complete stop.
• The shift lever is in
(N.
• The shift lever is in
(P.
• The ignition switch is in ON
(w*1.
*1: Models with the smart entry system have an ENGINE START/STOP button instead of an
ignition switch.
■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
30-65 mph (48-105 km/h).
•During this period, if the ignition is turned on and
the vehicle is not move d 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.

Honda Sensing®
Honda Sensing® is a driver support system which employs the use of two distinctly
different kinds of sensors: a radar sensor located in the lower bumper and a front
sensor camera mounted to th e interior side of the windshield, behind the rearview
mirror.
Honda Sensing® has following functions.

Continued
Driving
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) 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 ve hicle, without yo u having to keep your foot on the brake or the
accelerator.
When ACC with Low Speed Follow slows your 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.
For directions on the prop er handling of the radar
sensor, refer to the following page. 2 Radar Sensor P. 544
3WARNING
Improper use of ACC with Low Speed
Follow can lead to a crash.
Use ACC with Low Spee d Follow only when
driving on expressways or freeways and in
good weather.
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 sto ps 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 (40km/h) or above.
■Shift position for ACC with Low Speed Follow: In ( D or (S.
The radar sensor is in
the lower bumper.
Be careful not to have
the radar sensor cover
strongly impacted.
The camera is
located behind
the rearview
mirror.

uuHonda Sensing ®u Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with Low Speed Follow*
Driving
When driving at about 25 mph (40 km/h) or above: Take your foot off the
pedal and press the –/SET button when you reach the desired speed. The moment
you release the button, th e set speed is fixed, and ACC with Low Speed Follow
begins.
When driving slower than about 25 mph (40 km/h): If the vehicle is moving
and the brake pedal is not depressed, pressi ng the button fixes the set speed to 25
mph (40 km/h) regardless of current vehicle speed. If your vehicle is stationary and a
vehicle is detected ahead, your vehicle sp eed can be set, even with the brake pedal
depressed.
■To Set the Vehicle Speed1 Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with Low Speed Follow*
Do not use ACC with Low Speed Follow under the
following conditions:
•On roads with heavy traf fic or while driving in
continuous stop and go traffic.
•On roads with sharp turns.
•On roads with steep downhill sections, as the set
vehicle speed can be exceeded by coasting. In such
cases, ACC with Low Speed Follow will not apply
the brakes to maintain the set speed.
•On roads with toll collection facilities or other
objects between lanes of traffic, or in parking
areas, or faci lities with driv e through access.
You can switch the displayed set speed
measurements on the driver information interface or
audio/information screen between mph and km/h. 2 Customized Features P. 130, 346
