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

574

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 travelling 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
detected in front of you comes in and goes out of the
ACC with LSF detecting range. Change the

ACC

Vehicle Ahead Detected Beep

setting.

You may need to use the brake to maintain a safe
interval when using ACC with LSF. Additionally, ACC

When the vehicle ahead of you starts again,
the vehicle icon on the driver information
interface blinks. If you press the

RES/+

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.

WARNING

Exiting a vehicle that has been stopped
while the ACC with LSF system is operating
can result in the vehicle moving without
operator control.

A vehicle that moves without operator
control can cause a crash, resulting in
serious injury or death.

Never exit a vehicle when the vehicle is
stopped by ACC with LSF.

Automatic cancellation

The beeper sounds and a message appears on the driver information interface when
ACC with LSF is automatically cancelled. Any of these conditions may cause the ACC
with LSF to automatically cancel:

•

Bad weather (rain, fog, snow, etc.)

•

When the radar sensor in the front grille gets dirty.

•

The vehicle ahead of you cannot be detected.

•

An abnormal tyre condition is detected, or the tyres are skidding.

•

Driving on a mountainous road, or driving off road for extended periods.

•

Abrupt steering wheel movement.

•

When the ABS, VSA or CMBS 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 LSF range is too close to your
vehicle.

•

The camera behind the rearview mirror, or the area around the camera, including
the windscreen, gets dirty.

•

When the Maximum Load Limit is exceeded.

•

When passing through an enclosed space, such as tunnel.

The ACC with LSF automatic cancellation can be also triggered by the following
causes. In these cases, the parking brake will be automatically applied.

•

The driver’s seat belt is unfastened when the vehicle is stationary.

•

The vehicle stops for more than 10 minutes.

•

The engine is turned off.

Automatic cancellation

Even though ACC with LSF has been automatically
cancelled, you can still resume the prior set speed.
Wait until the condition that caused ACC with LSF to
cancel improves, then press the

Honda Sensing

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

Driving

Provides an early prediction for a cut-in situation. The system detects that a vehicle
running in the adjacent slower lane has an intention to cut in front of you and
adjusts the speed of your vehicle in advance while ACC with LSF is activated.

■

How the system works

■

Intelligent Adaptive Cruise Control Function

The radar sensor in the front grille detects
vehicles ahead of you including those in the
adjacent lane, and the camera behind the
rearview mirror detects the lane markings.

This system improves ACC with LSF’s
following/tracking property; it adjusts your
vehicle speed in advance predicting a
situation that a vehicle running in the
adjacent slower lane catches up with a slower
vehicle ahead of it and changes the lane to cut
in front of you early.
When such a cut-in situation is predicted, your
vehicle speed decreases a little. When
detected, your vehicle speed decreases
according to the vehicle cutting in front of
you.

As the speed is adjusted by the system, the cut
in vehicle icon appears on the driver
information interface to indicate that the
system is activated.

■

How the system activates

When a vehicle cuts in front of you is going faster than the vehicle ahead of it, and
your vehicle is going faster than the cut-in vehicle (i.e., when you need to slow
down), ACC with LSF predicts the cutting-in and adjust your vehicle speed.

The system activates when all the following conditions are met:

•

When ACC with LSF is activated.

•

When you are driving on a multi-lane road.

•

When your vehicle speed is between about 80 km/h (50 mph) and about 180
km/h (112 mph).

•

The vehicle is on a straight or slightly curved road.

•

The turn signals are off.

•

The brake pedal is not depressed.

•

When a vehicle cuts in from a slower lane.

■

Intelligent adaptive cruise control on and off

You can turn the system on and off using the driver information interface.

Intelligent Adaptive Cruise Control Function

When traffic changes from right hand side to left
hand side, driving on a road where there is oncoming
traffic for some distance automatically switches the
lane to be detected from right to left.

Intelligent adaptive cruise control may not activate
under the following conditions:

•

When the speed difference between the cut-in
vehicle and the vehicle ahead of it in the adjacent
lane is small

•

When the speed difference between the cut-in
vehicle and your vehicle is small (i.e., when speed
adjustment is not required)

•

When a vehicle simply cuts in front of your vehicle
with no vehicle ahead in the adjacent lane

•

When a vehicle cuts in from a faster lane

Honda Sensing

Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)

Driving

Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)

Helps to 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.
When ACC slows your vehicle by applying the brakes, your vehicle’s brake lights will
illuminate.

Manual transmission models

Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)

Important Reminder

As with any system, there are limits to ACC. Use the
brake pedal whenever necessary, and always keep a
safe interval between your vehicle and other vehicles.

When the engine speed slows down, try to
downshift.
When the engine speed goes up, try to upshift.
You can maintain the set speed if you change gear
within five seconds.

WARNING

Improper use of ACC can lead to a crash.

Use ACC only when driving on motorways
and in good weather conditions.

WARNING

ACC has limited braking capability. When
your vehicle speed drops below 25 km/h (15
mph), ACC will automatically cancel and no
longer will apply your vehicle’s brakes.
Always be prepared to apply the brake
pedal when conditions require.

When not using ACC: Turn off adaptive cruise by
pressing the

MAIN

button. This also will turn off the

Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS).

When the

MAIN

button is pressed, both ACC and

the Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS) are either
turned on or off.

Do not use the ACC under the following conditions:

•

On roads with heavy traffic or while driving in
continuous stop and go traffic.

•

On roads with sharp turns.

•

On roads with steep downhill sections, as the set
vehicle speed can be exceeded by coasting. In such
cases, ACC will not apply the brakes to maintain
the set speed.

•

On roads with toll collection facilities or other
objects between lanes of traffic, or in parking
areas, or facilities with drive through access.
