Increase or decrease the vehicle speed using the RES/+ or –/SET buttons on the
steering wheel.
• Each time you press the RES/+ or –/SET button, the vehicle speed is increased or
decreased by about 1 mph or 1 km/h accordingly.
• If you keep the RES/+ or –/SET button pressed, the vehicle speed increases or
decreases by about 5 mph or 5 km/h accordingly.
Press the interval button to change the ACC
with Low Speed Follow following-interval.
Each time you press the button, the following-
interval (the interval behind a vehicle detected
ahead of you) setting cycles through short,
middle, long, and extra long following-
intervals.
■To Adjust the Vehicle Speed1 To Adjust the Vehicle Speed
If a vehicle detected ahead is going at a speed slower
than your increased set speed, ACC with Low Speed
Follow may not accelerate y our vehicle. This is to
maintain the set interval between your vehicle and
the vehicle ahead.
When you depress the accelerator pedal and then
push and release the –/SET button, the current speed
of the vehicle is set.

Determine the most appropriate following- interval setting based on your specific
driving conditions. Be sure to adhere to any following-interval requirements set by
local regulation.
The higher your vehicle’s following-speed is, the longer the short, middle, long or extra
long following-interval becomes. See the following examples for your reference.
When your vehicle stops automatically beca use a vehicle detected ahead of you has
stopped, the interval between the two vehicl es will vary based on the ACC with Low
Speed Follow interval setting.

■Automatic cancellation
The beeper sounds and a message appears on the driver information interface when
ACC with Low Speed Follow is automatically canceled. Any of these conditions may
cause the ACC with Low Speed Fo llow to automatically cancel:
• Bad weather (rain, fog, snow, etc.).
• When the radar sensor inside the front grille gets dirty.
• The vehicle ahead of yo u cannot be detected.
• An abnormal tire condition is detected, or the tires are skidding.
• Driving on a mountainous road, or driving off road for extended periods.
• Abrupt steering wheel movement.
• When the ABS or VSA ® or CMBS
TM is activated.
• When the ABS or VSA ® system indicator comes on.
• When the vehicle is stopped on a very steep slope.
• When you manually apply the parking brake.
• When the detected vehicle within the AC C with Low Speed Follow range is too
close to your vehicle.
• The camera behind the rearview mirror, or the area around the camera, including
the windshield, gets dirty.
• When the Maximum Load Limit is exceeded.
• When passing through an enclosed space, such as tunnel.
The ACC with Low Speed Follow automatic ca ncellation can be also triggered by the
following causes. In these cases, the parking brake will be automatically applied.
• The driver’s seat belt is unfastene d when the vehicle is stationary.
• The vehicle stops for more than 10 minutes.
• The power system is turned off.
In the following cases, a bu zzer sounds, ACC with Low Speed Follow is deactivated,
and the Cruise Cancelled: System Not Available message appears in the driver
information interface.
• The vehicle has repeatedly applied the brakes to maintain the set speed (for
example, you are descending a long slope).
1 Automatic cancellation
Even though ACC with Low Speed Follow has been
automatically canceled, you can still resume the prior
set speed. Wait until the condition that caused ACC
with Low Speed Follow to cancel improves, then
press the RES/+ button.

uu Honda Sensing ®u Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS)
Driving
Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS)
Provides steering input to help keep the vehicle in the middle of a detected lane and
provides tactile and visual alerts if the ve hicle is detected drifting out of its lane.1Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS)
Important Safety Reminders
The LKAS is for your convenience only. It is not a
substitute for your vehicle control. The system does
not work if you take y our hands off the steering
wheel or fail to steer the vehicle. 2 Driver Information Interface Warning and
Information Messages P. 108
Do not place objects on the instrument panel.
Objects may reflect on th e front windshield and
prevent correct detectio n of the traffic lanes.
The LKAS only alerts you when lane drift is detected
without a turn signal in use. The LKAS may not detect
all lane markings or lane departures; accuracy will
vary based on weather, speed, and lane marker
condition. It is always your responsibility to safely
operate the vehicle an d avoid collisions.
The LKAS is convenient when it is used on freeways.
The LKAS may not work properly or may work
improperly under the certain conditions:
2 LKAS Conditions and Limitations P. 624
You can read about handling information for the
camera equipped with this system. 2 Front Sensor Camera P. 637
When it fails to detect lanes, the system will
temporarily be canceled. When lane is detected,
system will recover automatically.
■Tactile and visual alerts
Rapid vibrations on the steering
wheel and a warning display
alert you that the vehicle is
drifting out of a detected lane.
■Front sensor camera
Monitors the lane lines
■Steering input assist
The system applies torque to the steering to keep the vehicle between the left and
right lane lines. The applied torque become s stronger as the vehicle gets closer to
either of the lane lines.
When you operate the turn signals to change lanes, the system is suspended, and
resumes after the signals are off.
If you make a lane change without operating the turn signals, the LKAS alerts
activate, and torque is applied to the steering.
