uuWhen Driving uBlind Spot Information System*
Driving
The Blind Spot Information System alert indicator may not come on under the
following conditionsY
• There is a large speed difference betwee n your vehicle and the vehicle in the
adjacent lane.
• A vehicle is parked in a side lane.
• An object not detected by the radar se nsors approaches or passes your vehicle.
• The vehicle driving in the adjacent lane is a motorcycle or other small vehicle.
The Blind Spot Information System may no t operate correctly under the following
conditions:
• Making a turn at an intersection.
• Objects (guard rails, poles, trees, etc.) are detected.
• An object that does not reflect radio wave s well or a motorcycle, is in the alert
zone.
• Driving on a curved road.
• A vehicle is moving from a far lane to the adjacent lane.
• The system picks up signal interference such as other radar sensors from another
vehicle or strong radio wave transmitted from a facility nearby.
• The rear bumper or the area around the radar sensors is covered by dirt, mud,
snow, ice, etc.
• The rear bumper or the area around the radar sensors has been damaged or
deformed.
• In bad weather (heavy rain, snow, and fog).
• Making a short turn or driving on a bumpy road that slightly tilts the vehicle.
• An object such as a bicycle rack is attached to the rear of the vehicle.

Honda Sensing®
Honda Sensing® is a driver support system which employs the use of two distinctly
different kinds of sensors: the sonar sens ors 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.

the stages before initiating the last stage.

Continued
Driving
Low Speed Braking Control*
Using sonar sensors located on the front a nd rear bumpers, and the front grille, this
system can detect 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 a nd/or assistive driving power suppression.1Low Speed Braking Control*
If the Low Speed Braking Control activates in a
situation where you do not want automatic brake
application (such as when the vehicle is between two
railroad crossing gates), simply press the brake pedal
to deactivate the system and then continue to drive
as intended.
3WARNING
The Low Speed Braking Control System
cannot avoid all collisions and may not
reduce damage in each situation where the
accelerator is mistakenly or aggressively
pressed. Overreliance on the system may
result in a collision with serious injury or
death. Always check your surroundings,
your shift position, and your pedal use.
Driver remains responsible for safely
operating the vehicle.

■Assistive braking
Assistive braking provides a visual and audible alert when the vehicle is moving
between approximately 1 and 6 mph (2 and 10 km/h) and there is the possibility of
a collision with a detected wall or other obstacles, as well as providing assistance
with braking.
■How the System Works1 Low Speed Braking Control*
For directions on the prop er handling of the sonar
sensors, please refer to the following page.

The vehicle will release the brake and start moving a
few seconds after the system is activated. To keep the
vehicle stopped, keep the brake pedal depressed or
put the transmission into

In order to prevent the sy stem from activating when
not needed, always turn it off during vehicle
maintenance, when loading on ships, trucks, and so
on, or when using a chassis dynamometer, free
rollers for inspection or when washing the car in

Conditions for assistive driving power suppressionM
• When the accelerator is no longer depressed.
• When the accelerator is depresse d for approximately four seconds.
• When the brake pedal is depressed.
Conditions for assistive braking cancellation.
• A certain amount of time has passed since activation.
The system may not operate correctly in the following conditions:
■Examples of obstacles the sonar sensor cannot detect
• Obstacles that do not reflect sound waves well, such as people, snow, cloth,
sponges, etc.
• Thin obstacles such as fenc es, bicycles, sign posts, etc.
• Short or small obstacles.
• Obstacles immediately in front of the bumper.
• Moving objects or obstacles that suddenly enter the road.
• Obstacles that are not perp endicular to the ground.
■Conditions for Cancellation
■Low Speed Braking Control System Conditions and Limitations
1Conditions for Cancellation
After Low Speed Braking Control has activated once,
it will not activate again for the same obstacle.
They can be activated again after driving for a certain
distance after last activation.
Low Speed Braking Control ac tivates separately when
moving forward and reversing. (For example, if it
activates when moving forwar d, it can be activated
again immediately if reversing.)
However, if assistive braking has been activated, in
order to activate assistiv e driving power suppression
again, it is necessary to drive for a certain distance to
reset the system.

Driving
■Examples of situations where the sonar sensor cannot detect obstacles
• The sonar sensor is dirty (covered by snow, water, mud, etc.).
• The vehicle is too hot or cold.
• The steering wheel is turned sharply when approaching the obstacle at an angle.
■Examples of other cases where the system may not work correctly
• The vehicle is tilted due to heavy load or suspension modifications.
• An abnormal tire or wheel condition (incorre ct sizes, varied sizes or construction,
improperly inflated, comp act spare tire, etc.).
• Bad weather conditions such as heavy rain, fog, snow, sandstorms, etc.
• The ambient temperature/humidity is too high or low.
• When going down a very steep slope.
• When close to other vehicles with sonar sensors or other objects that emit
ultrasonic waves.
■Situations where the system may activate even without risk of a collision
• When passing through short or narrow gates.
• When driving on uneven surfaces, gr assy areas, or places with steps.
• When a sloped pillar or wall is protruding from a high position.
• When there are obstacles next to the road.
• When driving toward flags, curtains, tree branches, railroad crossing bars, etc.
• When driving on flooded roads.

■Location and range of sensors
The sonar sensors are situated in the front and rear bumpers, and the front grille.1Sonar Sensors*
For the sonar sensors to work properly, do not:•Place stickers or other objects on or around the
sensors.
•Hit the area around the sensors.•Attempt to take apart any sensor.
•Put any accessories on or around the sensors.
Consult with a dealer if:
•A sensor has been subjected to shock.
•Work needs to be done to the area around a
sensor.
In the following cases, the sonar sensors may not
work properly. Have your ve hicle checked by a dealer.
•The front or rear bumper has made contact with a
hill, parking block, curb, embankment, etc.
•The vehicle has been involv ed in frontal or rear
collision.
•The vehicle has been driven through a deep
puddle.

The corner and center sensors monitor obstacles around your vehicle, and the
beeper, driver information interface and audio/informatio n screen let you know the
approximate distance between your vehicle and the obstacle.
■The sensor location and range
1 Parking Sensor System*
Even when the system is on, always confirm if there is
no obstacle near your ve hicle before parking.
The system may not work properly when:
•The sensors are covered with snow, ice, mud, or
dirt.
•The vehicle has been out in hot or cold weather.•There is something nearby that emits ultrasonic
waves or high frequency sounds.
•Driving in bad weather (rain, fog, snow, etc.).
The system may not de tect these obstacles:
•Thin or low objects.•Sonic-absorptive materials, such as snow, cotton,
or sponge.
•Objects directly under the bumper.
The system may falsely de tect obstacles in the
following situations:
•The vehicle is on uneven su rface, such as grass,
bumps, or a hill.
•When close to other vehicl es with sonar sensors or
other objects that em it ultrasonic waves.
•There is splashing water near the sensors due to
heavy rains, etc.
Do not put any accessories on or around the sensors.
