Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)

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 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 range.
ACC 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 range.

When in Operation

Even if the interval between your vehicle and the
vehicle detected ahead is short, ACC 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 detecting range. Change the

ACC Vehicle

setting.

You may need to use the brake to maintain a safe
interval when using ACC. Additionally, ACC may not
work properly under certain conditions.

To Adjust the Vehicle Speed

If a vehicle detected ahead is going at a speed slower
than your increased set speed, ACC may not
accelerate your vehicle. This is to maintain the set
interval between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead.

Honda Sensing

Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)

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 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’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 predicts the cutting-in and adjust your vehicle speed.

The system activates when all the following conditions are met:

•

When ACC 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

Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS)

Driving

Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS)

Provides steering input to help keep the vehicle in the middle of a detected lane and
provides tactile, audible 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.

Driver Information Interface Warning and
Information Messages

P. 122

Do not place objects on the instrument panel.
Objects may reflect on the front windscreen 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 motorways
or a dual carriage way.

The LKAS may not work properly or may work
improperly under the certain conditions:

P. 623

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.

Steering input assist

The system applies torque to the

the left and right lane lines. The applied
torque becomes stronger as the vehicle
gets closer to either of the lane lines.

■

Tactile, audible and visual alerts

Rapid vibrations on the steering wheel, audible and a warning display alert you
that the vehicle is drifting out of a detected lane.
