Honda Sensing®
Honda Sensing® is a driver support system which employs the use of two distinctly
different kinds of sensors: a radar sensor located inside the front grille and a front
sensor camera mounted to the interior side of the windshield, behind the rearview
mirror.
Honda Sensing ® has following functions.
■The functions which do not requir e switch operations to activate
• Collision Mitigation Braking SystemTM (CMBSTM) 2 P. 512
• Road Departure Mitigation (RDM) System 2 P. 548
• Traffic Sign Recognition System 2 P. 553
■The functions wh ich require switch operations to activate
• Adaptive Cruise Control ( ACC) with Low Speed Follow
2 P. 523
• Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS) 2 P. 539

Driving
Collision Mitigati on Braking SystemTM (CMBSTM)
The system can assist you when it determine s there is a possibility of your vehicle
colliding with a vehicle or a pedestrian de tected in front of your vehicle. The CMBSTM
is designed to alert you when the potential for a collision is determined, as well as to
reduce your vehicle speed to help minimize collision severity when a collision is
deemed unavoidable.
1 Collision Mitigation Braking SystemTM (CMBSTM)
For directions on the prop er handling of the radar
sensor, refer to the following page. 2 Radar Sensor P. 560
You can read about handling information for the
camera equipped with this system. 2 Front Sensor Camera P. 558
Important Safety Reminder
The CMBS
TM is designed to reduce the severity of an
unavoidable collision. It doe s not prevent a collisions
nor stop the vehicle automati cally. It is still your
responsibility to operate th e brake pedal and steering
wheel appropriately acco rding to the driving
conditions.
The CMBS
TM may not activate or may not detect a
vehicle in front of y our vehicle under certain
conditions: 2 CMBS

■How the System Works1How the System Works
When the CMBS
TM activates, it may automatically
apply the brake. It will be canceled when your vehicle
stops or a potential coll ision is not determined.When to use
The camera is
located behind
the rearview
mirror.
The radar sensor is
in the front grille.
The system starts monitoring the roadway ahead when your vehicle speed is about
3 mph (5 km/h) or above and will search for a vehicle in front of you.
The CMBS
TM activates when:●The speed difference between your vehicle and a vehicle or pedestrian detected in
front of you becomes about 3 mph (5 km/h) and over with a chance of a collision.
●Your vehicle speed is about 62 mph (100 km/h) or less and the system determines
there is a chance of a collision with:
- Vehicles detected in front of you that are stationary, oncoming, or traveling in
your same direction.
- A pedestrian who is detected in front of you.
●Your vehicle speed is above 62 mph (100 km/h), and the system determines there
is a chance of a collision with a vehicle detected in front of you traveling in your
same direction.

■When the system activates
You can change the distance ( Long/Normal /Short ) between vehicles at which the
system’s earliest collision alert will co me on through the driver information
interface
* or audio/information screen* setting options.
2 List of customizable options P. 420
1When the system activates
The camera in the CMBS
TM is also designed to detect
pedestrians.
However, this pedestrian detection feature may not
activate or may not detect a pedestrian in front of
your vehicle under certain conditions.
Refer to the ones indicating the pedestrian detection
limitations from the list. 2 CMBS
TM Conditions and Limitations P. 517
The system provides visual and audible alerts of a possible collision, and stops if the
collision is avoided.
●Take appropriate action to prevent a collision (apply the brakes, change lanes,
etc.)

The system has three alert stages for a possible collis ion. However, depending on circumstances, the CMBSTM may not go through all of
the stages before initiating the last stage.

When you turn the CMBSTM on and off, do the
following.
1. Press the safety support switch.
2. Press the / button to select
symbol, then press ENTER.
u A tick appears in the box and the color of
the symbol change s green when the
system is on. The tick disappear and the
color of the symbol changes gray

The CMBS
TM is turned on every time you start
the engine, even if you turned it off the last
time you drove the vehicle.
■CMBSTM On and Off1 CMBSTM On and Off
The CMBS
TM may automatically shut off, and the
safety support indicator (amb er) will come and stay
on under certain conditions: 2 CMBS
TM Conditions and Limitations P. 517
When the CMBS
TM is activated, it will continue to
operate even if the accele rator pedal is partially
depressed. However, it w ill be canceled if the
accelerator pedal is deeply depressed.
Have your vehicle checked by a dealer if you find any
unusual behavior of the system (e.g., the warning
message appears too frequently).
