Honda Sensing®  
(P549)  
Models with Low Speed Braking Control  
Models without Auto Idle Stop  
Low Speed Braking  
Control*  
Continuously variable transmission models  
Honda Sensing® is a driver support system  
which employs the use of two distinctly  
different kinds of sensors: the sonar sensors  
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.  
Models without Low Speed Braking Control  
Honda Sensing® is a driver support system  
which employs the use of a front wide view  
camera mounted to the interior side of the  
windshield, behind the rearview mirror.  
Models with Auto Idle Stop  
(P565)  
Front Wide View  
Camera  
with parking sensor system  
Using sonar sensors located on the front and  
rear bumpers, and the front grille, this  
system detects 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 and/  
or assistive driving power suppression.

determines there is a possibility of your  
vehicle colliding with a vehicle (including  
motorcycles) ahead from behind, an  
oncoming vehicle in front, a pedestrian, or  
someone riding a bicycle (moving bicycle).  
The CMBSTM is designed to alert you when  
the potential for a collision is determined, as  
well as assist in reducing speed, avoiding  
collisions, and reducing collision severity.  
Sonar Sensors*

Traffic Jam Assist*  
(P628)  
Traffic Sign Recognition  
System  
Reminds you of road sign information, such  
as the current speed limit your vehicle has  
just passed through, showing it on the  
gauge.  
The Traffic Jam Assist system uses a camera  
mounted to the upper portion of the  
windshield to detect and monitor left and  
right white (or yellow) traffic lane lines.  
Based on inputs from the camera, the  
system can apply steering torque to keep  
your vehicle in the center of the detected  
lane.  
(P645)  
Follow*  
(P576)  
Helps maintain a constant vehicle speed and  
a set following-interval behind a vehicle  
detected ahead of yours and, if the detected  
vehicle comes to a stop, can decelerate and  
stop your vehicle, without you having to  
keep your foot on the brake or the  
accelerator.  
Road Departure  
Mitigation System  
Alerts and helps assist you when the system  
detects a possibility of your vehicle crossing  
over detected lane markings, or  
approaching the outer edge of the  
pavement (into grass or gravel border) or a  
detected oncoming vehicle.  
(P 637)
