Honda Sensing

(P402)

Honda Sensing is a driver support system
which employs the use of two distinctly
different kinds of sensors, a front wide view
camera mounted to the interior side of the
windscreen, behind the rearview mirror, and
the sonar sensors located in the front and
rear bumpers.

Front Wide

Sonar Sensors

Collision Mitigation
Braking System (CMBS)

(P 405)

The system can assist you when it
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 is 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.

Low Speed Braking
Control

(P 417)

Using sonar sensors located on the front and
rear bumpers, 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.

Adaptive Cruise Control
(ACC) with Low Speed
Follow

(P 423)

Helps to 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.

Lane Keeping Assist
System (LKAS)

(P 441)

Provides steering input to help to 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.

Safe Driving

For Safe Driving

The following pages explain your vehicle’s safety features and how to use them
properly. The safety precautions below are ones that we consider to be among the
most important.

Important Safety Precautions

■

Always wear your seat belt

A seat belt is your best protection in all types of collisions. Airbags are designed to
supplement seat belts, not replace them. So even though your vehicle is equipped
with airbags, make sure you and your passengers always wear your seat belts, and
wear them properly.

■

Restrain all children

Children aged 12 and under should ride properly restrained in a back seat, not the
front seat. Infants and small children should be restrained in a child restraint system.
Larger children should use a booster seat and a lap/shoulder seat belt until they can
use the belt properly without a booster seat.

■

Be aware of airbag hazards

While airbags can save lives, they can cause serious or fatal injuries to occupants
who sit too close to them, or are not properly restrained. Infants, young children,
and short adults are at the greatest risk. Be sure to follow all instructions and
warnings in this manual.

■

Don’t drink and drive

Alcohol and driving don’t mix. Even one drink can reduce your ability to respond to
changing conditions, and your reaction time gets worse with every additional drink.
So don’t drink and drive, and don’t let your friends drink and drive, either.

Important Safety Precautions

Some countries prohibit the use of mobile phones
other than hands-free devices by the driver while
driving.

For Safe Driving

Important Safety Precautions

Safe Driving

■

Pay appropriate attention to the task of driving safely

Engaging in mobile phone conversation or other activities that keep you from paying
close attention to the road, other vehicles, and pedestrians could lead to a crash.
Remember, situations can change quickly, and only you can decide when it is safe to
divert some attention away from driving.

■

Control your speed

Excessive speed is a major factor in crash injuries and deaths. Generally, the higher
the speed, the greater the risk, but serious injuries can also occur at lower speeds.
Never drive faster than is safe for current conditions, regardless of the maximum
speed posted.

■

Keep your vehicle in safe condition

Having a tyre blowout or a mechanical failure can be extremely hazardous.
To reduce the possibility of such problems, check your tyre pressures and condition
frequently, and perform all regularly scheduled maintenance.

■

Do not leave children unattended in the vehicle

Children, pets, and people needing assistance left unattended in the vehicle may be
injured if they activate one or more of the vehicle controls. They may also cause the
vehicle to move, resulting in a crash in which they and/or another person(s) can be
injured or killed. Also, depending on the ambient temperature, the temperature of
the interior may reach extreme levels, which can result in harm or death. Even if the
climate control system is on, never leave them in the vehicle unattended as the
climate control system can shut off at any time.

Important Handling Information

Safe Driving

Important Handling Information

Your vehicle has higher ground clearance than a passenger vehicle designed for use
only on pavement. Higher ground clearance has many advantages for off-road
driving. It allows you to travel over bumps, obstacles, and rough terrain. It also
provides good visibility so you can anticipate problems earlier.

These advantages come at some cost. Because your vehicle is taller and rides higher
off the ground, it has a higher centre gravity making it more susceptible to tipping
or rollover if you make abrupt turns. Utility vehicles have a significantly higher
rollover rate than other types of vehicles. In a rollover crash, an unbelted person is
significantly more likely to die than a person wearing a seat belt. As a reminder,
make sure you and your passengers always wear seat belts.

Important Handling Information

For information on how to reduce the risk of rollover,
read:

Driving Guidelines for Your Utility Vehicle

P. 362

Off-road Guidelines

P. 357

Failure to operate your vehicle correctly might result
in a crash or a rollover.

In many countries, the law prohibits off-road driving,
e. g. driving in forests, trailblazing, etc. Please check
your local laws and regulations before commencing
any off-road driving activity.

Your Vehicle’s Safety Features

The following checklist will help you take an active role in protecting yourself and
your passengers.

Your Vehicle’s Safety Features

Your vehicle is equipped with many features that
work together to help to protect you and your
passengers during a crash.

Some features do not require any action on your part.
These include a strong steel framework that forms a
safety cage around the passenger compartment,
front and rear crush zones, a collapsible steering
column, and tensioners that tighten the front and
rear outer seat belts in a sufficient crash.

However, you and your passengers cannot take full
advantage of these features unless you remain seated
in the correct position and always wear your seat
belts. In fact, some safety features can contribute to
injuries if they are not used properly.

Safety Checklist

For the safety of you and your passengers, make a habit of checking these items
each time before you drive.

•

Adjust your seat to a position suitable for driving. Be sure the front seats are
adjusted as far to the rear as possible while allowing the driver to control the
vehicle. Sitting too close to a front airbag can result in serious or fatal injury in a
crash.

Seats

P. 207

•

Adjust head restraints to the proper position. Head restraints are most effective
when the centre of the head restraint aligns with the centre of your head. Taller
persons should adjust their head restraint to the highest position.

Seat Belts

About Your Seat Belts

Seat belts are the single most effective safety device because they keep you
connected to the vehicle so that you can take advantage of many built-in safety
features. They also help to keep you from being thrown against the inside of the
vehicle, against any passengers, or out of the vehicle. When worn properly, seat
belts also keep your body properly positioned in a crash so that you can take full
advantage of the additional protection provided by the airbags.

In addition, seat belts help to protect you in almost every type of crash, including:

frontal impacts

side impacts

rear impacts

rollovers

About Your Seat Belts

WARNING:

Seat belts are designed to bear upon the

bony structure of the body, and should be worn low
across the front of the pelvis or the pelvis, chest and
shoulders, as applicable; wearing the lap section of
the belt across the abdominal area must be avoided.

WARNING:

Seat belts should be adjusted as firmly as

possible, consistent with comfort, to provide the
protection for which they have been designed. A
slack belt will greatly reduce the protection afforded
to the wearer.

WARNING:

Belts should not be worn with straps

twisted.

WARNING:

Each belt assembly must only be used by

one occupant; it is dangerous to put a belt around a
child being carried on the occupant’s lap.

WARNING

Not wearing a seat belt properly increases
the chance of serious injury or death in a
crash, even though your vehicle has
airbags.

Be sure you and your passengers always
wear seat belts and wear them properly.
