Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with Low Speed Follow (LSF)

Driving

■

There is a vehicle ahead

ACC with LSF monitors if a vehicle ahead of you enters the ACC with LSF range. If a
vehicle is detected doing so, the ACC with LSF system maintains or decelerates your
vehicle’s set speed in order to keep the vehicle’s set following-interval from the
vehicle ahead.

2 To Set or Change Following-interval P. 502

When a vehicle whose speed is slower than
your set speed is detected in front of you, your
vehicle starts to slow down.

■

When in Operation

When in Operation

If the vehicle ahead of you slows down abruptly, or if
another vehicle cuts in front of you, the beeper
sounds, a message appears on the driver information
interface.

Depress the brake pedal, and keep an appropriate
interval from the vehicle ahead.

Driving

■

There is no vehicle ahead

Your vehicle maintains the set speed without
having to keep your foot on the brake or
accelerator pedal.
If there previously was a vehicle detected
ahead that kept your vehicle from traveling at
the set speed, ACC with LSF accelerates your
vehicle to the set speed, and then maintains it.

■

When you depress the accelerator pedal

You can temporarily increase the vehicle speed. In this case, there is no audible or
visual alert even if a vehicle is in the ACC with LSF range.
ACC with LSF stays on unless you cancel it. Once you release the accelerator pedal,
the system resumes an appropriate speed for keeping the following interval while a
vehicle ahead is within the ACC with LSF range.

When in Operation

Even if the interval between your vehicle and the
vehicle detected ahead is short, ACC with LSF may
start accelerating your vehicle under the following
circumstances:

•

The vehicle ahead of you is going at almost the
same speed as, or faster than, your vehicle.

•

A vehicle that cuts in front of you is going faster
than your vehicle, gradually increasing the interval
between the vehicles.

You can also set the system to beep when a vehicle in
front of you comes in and goes out of the ACC with
LSF detecting range. Change the ACC Forward
Vehicle Detect Beep setting.

the vehicle icon on the driver information
interface blinks. If you press the RES/+ or
SET/– button, or depress the accelerator
pedal, ACC with LSF operates again within the
prior set speed.
If no vehicle is ahead of you before you
resume driving, depress the accelerator pedal
and ACC with LSF will operate again within
the prior set speed.

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 alerts if the vehicle is detected drifting out of its lane.

Lane 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 your hands off the steering
wheel or fail to steer the vehicle.

2 Driver Information Interface Warning and

Information Messages P. 102

Do not place objects on the instrument panel.
Objects may reflect on the windshield and prevent
correct detection 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 and 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. 514

You can read about handling information for the
camera equipped with this system.

2 Front Sensor Camera P. 528

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.

■

Front Sensor Camera

Monitors the lane
lines.

■

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.

■

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.

Honda Sensing®

Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS)

510

Driving

Provides assistance to keep the vehicle in the center of the lane. When the vehicle
nears a white or yellow line, steering force of the electric power steering will become
stronger.

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

■

Lane Keep Support Function
