Traffic Sign Recognition System
Reminds you of speed limit sign your vehicl e has just passed through, showing it on
the gauge and the head-up display*.
1 Traffic Sign Recognition System
Not all signs may be displa yed, but any signs posted
on roadsides should not be ignored. The system does
not work on the designated traffic signs of all the
countries you travel, nor in all situations.
Do not rely too much on the system. Always drive at
speeds appropriate fo r the road conditions.
Never apply a film or attach any objects to the
windshield that could obstruc t the camera’s field of
vision and cause the system to operate abnormally.
Scratches, nicks, and othe r damage to the windshield
within the camera’s field of vision can cause the
system to operate abnormally. If this occurs, we
recommend that you replace the windshield with a
genuine Honda replacement windshield. Making even
minor repairs within the ca mera’s field of vision or
installing an aftermarket replacement windshield may
also cause the system to operate abnormally. After
replacing the windshield, have a dealer recalibrate the
camera. Proper calibration of the camera is necessary
for the system to operate properly.
To help reduce the likelihood that high interior
temperatures will cause the camera’s sensing system to
shut off, when parking, find a shady area or face the front
of the vehicle away from the sun. If you use a reflective sun
shade, do not allow it to cover the camera housing.
Covering the camera can concentrate heat on it.
You can read about handling information for the
camera equipped with this system. 2 Front Sensor Camera P. 648

uuHonda Sensing ®u Traffic Sign Recognition System
Driving
When the camera located behind the rear view mirror captures traffic signs while
driving, the system displays the ones that are recognized as designated for your
vehicle. If speed limit warning is activated, the sign icon blinks when the maximum
speed of the traffic sign detected is exceeded by a threshold, when compared with
the vehicle speed. The sign icon will be displayed until the vehicle reaches a
predetermined time and distance.
If the system does not detect any traffic signs while you are driving, the sign icon will
not be displayed.
The sign icon also may switch to another one or disappear when:
• The end of speed limit or other designated limit is detected.
• You make a turn with a turn signal at an intersection.
■How the System Works1Traffic Sign Recognition System
You can turn on or off the speed limit information.

The system’s ability to accurately notify the driver of
the speed limit is depend ent on certain conditions
such as the units displayed on the traffic sign as well
as the speed and direction of travel of the vehicle. In
some cases, the system may display false warnings or
other inaccurate information.
2 Traffic Sign Recognition System Conditions
and Limitations P. 644
The unit for speed limits (mph or km/h) varies from
country to country. Just after entering a country
whose unit differs to the one of the country from
which you came, The Traffi c Sign Recognition System

The traffic sign recognition system may not operate correctly, such as displaying
signs that do not adhere to the actual regulations for the roadway or do not exist at
all in the following cases.
u A speed limit sign may display at a higher or lower speed than the actual speed
limit.

uuHonda Sensing ®u Front Sensor Camera
Driving
Front Sensor Camera
The camera, used in systems such as Collision Mitigation Braking SystemTM
(CMBSTM), Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with Low Speed Follow, Lane Keeping
Assist System (LKAS), Traffic Jam Assist , Road Departure Mitigation system and
Traffic Sign Recognition system is designed to detect an object that triggers any of
the systems to operate its functions.
This camera is located behind the rearview
mirror.
To help reduce the likelihood that high interior
temperatures will cause the camera’s sensing
system to shut off, when parking, find a shady
area or face the front of the vehicle away from
the sun. If you use a reflective sun shade, do
not allow it to cover the camera housing.
Covering the camera can concentrate heat on
it.
■Camera Location and Handling Tips
1 Front Sensor Camera
Never apply a film or attach any objects to the
windshield, the hood, or th e front grille that could
obstruct the camera’s fiel d of vision and cause the
system to operate abnormally.
Scratches, nicks, and othe r damage to the windshield
within the camera’s fiel d of vision can cause the
system to operate abnormall y. If this occurs, we
recommend that you replac e the windshield with a
genuine Honda replacem ent windshield. Making
even minor repairs within th e camera’s field of vision
or installing an aftermarket replacement windshield
may also cause the system to operate abnormally.
After replacing the winds hield, have a dealer
recalibrate the camera. Pr oper calibration of the
camera is necessary for the system to operate
properly.
Do not place an object on the top of the instrument
panel. It may reflect onto the windshield and prevent
the system from detecting lane lines properly.
