Honda Sensing®

(P549)

Models with Low Speed Braking Control

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 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 CMBS^TMis 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.

(ACC) with Low Speed

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)

Adaptive Cruise Control

(P596)

(ACC)^*

Helps maintain a constant vehicle speed and

a set following-interval behind a vehicle

detected ahead of yours, without you

having to keep your foot on the brake or

the accelerator.

Lane Keeping Assist

(P616)

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

vehicle is detected drifting out of its lane.
