■Automatic cancellation
The beeper sounds and a message appears on the driver information interface when
ACC with Low Speed Follow is automaticall y 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 you 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, 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 ACC 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 enclos ed 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 pa rking brake will be automatically applied.
• The driver’s seat belt is unfasten ed when the vehicle is stationary.
• The vehicle stops for mo re than 10 minutes.
• The power system is turned off.
In the following cases, a buzzer 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.

uuHonda Sensing ®u Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS)
Continued
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 al erts if the vehicle 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. 545
You can read about handling information for the
camera equipped with this system. 2 Front Sensor Camera P. 558
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 becomes 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.

When the vehicle enters the warning area, the LKAS alerts you with slight steering
wheel vibration as well as a warning display.

• The steering wheel is quickly turned.
• You fail to steer the vehicle.
• Driving through a sharp curve.
• Driving at a speed in excess of approximately 90 mph (145 km/h).
Once these conditions no longer exis t, the LKAS automatically resumes.
■The LKAS may automatically be canceled when:
• The camera temperature gets extremely high.
• The camera behind the rearview mirror, or the area around the camera, including
the windshield, gets dirty.
• The ABS or VSA ® system engages.

uuHonda Sensing ®u Road Departure Mitigation (RDM) System
Driving
Road Departure Mitigation (RDM) System
Alerts and helps to assist you when the sy stem detects a possibility of your vehicle
unintentionally crossing over detected la ne markings and/or leaving the roadway
altogether.
The front camera behind the rearview mirror
monitors left and right lane markings (in white
or yellow). If your vehicle is getting too close
to detected lane markings without a turn
signal activated, the system, in addition to a
visual alert, applies steering torque and alerts
you with rapid vibrations on the steering
wheel, to help you remain within the detected
lane.
2 Customized Features P. 413
As a visual alert, the Lane Departure
message appears on the driver information
interface.
If the system determines that its steering input
is insufficient to keep your vehicle on the
roadway, it may apply braking. u Braking is applied only when the lane
markings are solid continuous lines.
The system cancels assisting operations wh en you turn the steering wheel to avoid
crossing over detected lane markings.
If the system operates several times without detecting driver response, the system
beeps to alert you.
■How the System Works
1 Road Departure Mitigation (RDM) System
Important Safety Reminder
Like all assistance systems, the RDM system has
limitations.
Overreliance on the RDM system may result in a
collision. It is always your responsibility to keep the
vehicle within your driving lane.
The RDM system only alerts you when lane drift is
detected without a turn signal in use. The RDM
system may not detect all la ne markings or lane or
roadway departures; accu racy will vary based on
weather, speed and lane marker condition. It is
always your responsibilit y to safely operate the
vehicle and avoid collisions.
You can read about handling information for the
camera equipped with this system. 2 Front Sensor Camera P. 558
The RDM system may not wo rk properly or may work
improperly under the certain conditions:
2 RDM Conditions and Limitations P. 551
There are times when you may not notice RDM
functions due to your opera tion of the vehicle, or
road surface conditions.
