■

The LKAS may automatically be cancelled when:

•

The camera temperature gets extremely high or low.

•

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

•

The ABS or VSA system engages.

The beeper sounds if the LKAS is automatically cancelled.

The system may not detect lane markings and therefore may not keep the vehicle in 
the middle of a lane under certain conditions, including the following:

■

Environmental conditions

•

Driving in bad weather (rain, fog, snow, etc.).

•

Sudden changes between light and dark, such as an entrance or exit of a tunnel.

•

There is little contrast between lane lines and the roadway surface.

•

Driving into low sunlight (e.g., at dawn or dusk).

•

Strong light is reflected onto the roadway.

•

Driving in the shadows of trees, buildings, etc.

•

Shadows of adjacent objects are parallel to lane markings.

•

Roadway objects or structures are misinterpreted as lane markers.

•

Reflections on the interior of the windscreen.

•

Driving at night or in a dark condition such as a tunnel.

Driving

Road Departure Mitigation System

Alerts and helps to assist you when the system detects a possibility of your vehicle 
unintentionally crossing over detected lane markings or the edge of the pavement, 
or leaving the roadway altogether.

The front camera behind the rearview mirror 
monitors left and right lane markings (in white 
or yellow) and the outer edge of the 
pavement (bordered by grass or gravel). If 
your vehicle is getting too close to detected 
lane markings or the outer edge of the 
pavement (bordered by grass or gravel) 
without a turn signal activated, the system, in 
addition to a visual alert, applies steering 
torque and alerts you with rapid vibrations on 
the steering wheel, to help you remain within 
the detected lane.
If the system determines that the vehicle is 
about to veer off the edge of the pavement, it 
will alert the driver with an audible warning 
instead of steering wheel vibrations.

How the System Works

1

Road Departure Mitigation System

Important Safety Reminder

Like all assistance systems, the Road Departure 
Mitigation system has limitations.
Over-reliance on the Road Departure Mitigation 
system may result in a collision. It is always your 
responsibility to keep the vehicle within your driving 
lane.

The Road Departure Mitigation system only alerts you 
when lane drift is detected without a turn signal in 
use. The Road Departure Mitigation system may not 
detect all lane markings or lane or roadway 
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.

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

There are times when you may not notice Road 
Departure Mitigation functions due to your operation 
of the vehicle, or road surface conditions.

Road Departure Mitigation System

Driving

If the system determines that its steering input is insufficient to keep your vehicle on 
the roadway, it may apply braking.

u

Braking is applied only when the lane markings are solid continuous lines.

The system cancels assisting operations when you turn the steering wheel to avoid 
crossing over detected lane markings.

If the system operates several times without 
detecting driver response, the system beeps to 
alert you. After that, the Road Departure 
Mitigation steering assist is temporarily 
stopped, and the warning sound is given only.

After a few minutes, the message to the left is 
displayed and the Road Departure Mitigation 
system is fully restored.

determined that there is a possibility of your vehicle 
crossing over detected lane markings or the outer 
edge of the pavement (into grass or gravel border). If 
you have selected

overtaking is prohibited, your vehicle has just passed through, showing it on the 
driver information interface and the head-up display

*

.

When the camera located behind the rearview mirror captures traffic signs while 
driving, the system displays the ones that are recognised as designated for your 
vehicle. The sign icon will be displayed until the vehicle reaches a predetermined 
time and distance.

The sign icon also may switch to another one, or disappear when:

•

The end of speed limit or other designated limit is detected.

•

Your vehicle enters/exists motorway or highway.

•

You make a turn with a turn signal at an intersection.

■

How the System Works

1

Traffic Sign Recognition System

The system is designed to detect signs that follow the 
Vienna Convention standards. Not all signs may be 
displayed, but any signs posted on roadsides should 
not be ignored. The system does not work on the 
designated traffic signs of all the countries you travel, 
nor in all situations.
Do not rely too much on the system. Always drive at 
speeds appropriate for the road conditions.

Never apply a film or attach any objects to the 
windscreen that could obstruct the camera’s field of 
vision and cause the system to operate abnormally.
Scratches, nicks, and other damage to the 
windscreen within the camera’s field of vision can 
cause the system to operate abnormally. If this 
occurs, we recommend that you replace the 
windscreen with a genuine Honda replacement 
windscreen. Making even minor repairs within the 
camera’s field of vision or installing an aftermarket 
replacement windscreen may also cause the system 
to operate abnormally. After replacing the 
windscreen, have a dealer recalibrate the camera.
Proper calibration of the camera is necessary for the 
system to operate properly.

Traffic Sign Recognition System

To help reduce the likelihood that high interior 
temperatures will cause the camera’s sensing system 
to shut off, when parking, find a shady area or face 
the front of the vehicle away from the sun. If you use 
a reflective sun shade, do not allow it to cover the 
camera housing.
Covering the camera can concentrate heat on it.

If 

 appears, the Traffic Sign Recognition System 

does not work, and 

 will be displayed.

•

Use the climate control system to cool down the 
interior and, if necessary, also use demister mode 
with the air flow directed towards the camera.

•

Start driving the vehicle to lower the windscreen 
temperature, which cools down the area around 
the camera.

If 

 appears, the Traffic Sign Recognition System 

does not work, and 

 will be displayed.

•

Park your vehicle in a safe place, and clean the 
windscreen. If the message does not disappear 
after you have cleaned the windscreen and driven 
for a while, have your vehicle checked by a dealer.

If your vehicle exceeds the detected speed limit, an 
icon representing the speed limit sign for the current 
area will blink in the display.

The system’s ability to accurately notify the driver of 
the speed limit is dependent on certain conditions 
such as the units displayed on the traffic sign as well 
as the speed and direction of travel of the vehicle. In 
some cases, the system may display false warnings or 
other inaccurate information.
