Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS)

Continued

Driving

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

■

Environmental conditions

•

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

•

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

•

Driving on a snowy or wet roadway.

•

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

•

Shadows of adjacent objects (trees, buildings, guard rails, vehicles, etc.) are 
parallel to white lines (or yellow lines).

•

Sudden changes between light and dark, such as the entrance or exit of a tunnel 
or the shadows of trees, buildings, etc.

•

Driving at night or in a dark place such as a tunnel (due to low-light conditions, 
lane lines or the road surface may not be illuminated).

•

The distance between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead of you is too short, and 
lane lines and the road surface are not visible.

•

Strong light is reflected onto the roadway.

Road Departure Mitigation System

Alerts and helps to assist you when the system detects a possibility of your vehicle 
crossing over detected lane markings, or approaching the outer edge of the 
pavement (into grass or gravel border) or an oncoming vehicle.

The front wide view camera located at the top 
of the windscreen monitors left and right lane 
markings in white or yellow, the outer edge of 
the pavement (bordered by grass or gravel) or 
oncoming vehicles.
If your vehicle approaches any detected lane 
markings, the outer edge of the pavement 
(bordered by grass or gravel) or a detected 
oncoming vehicles when the turn signals have 
not been engaged, the system activates.

u

If the system cannot detect lane 
markings (in white or yellow), no 
assistance will be provided to avoid 
approaching oncoming vehicles.
In addition to a visual alert, the system 
assists with steering and alerts you with 
rapid steering wheel vibrations to help 
you remain within the detected lane.

How the System Works

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 alerts you 
when the system detects that you are approaching 
the outer edge of the pavement (into grass or gravel 
border), an oncoming vehicle, or drifting into another 
lane without using a turn signal.
The Road Departure Mitigation system may not 
detect all lane markings or every instance of lane 
drift.
The Road Departure Mitigation system may not 
detect that you are approaching the outer edge of 
the pavement (bordered by grass or gravel) or an 
oncoming vehicle.
The Road Departure Mitigation system may not be 
able to assist you depending on weather, speed or 
road conditions.

The Road Departure Mitigation system is not 
activated for about 15 seconds after the power 
system is turned on.

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

The system cancels assisting operations when you turn the steering wheel to avoid 
crossing over detected lane markings or approaching the outer edge of the 
pavement (into grass or gravel border) or an oncoming vehicle.

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.

Traffic Sign Recognition System

Reminds you of road sign information, such as the current speed limit and that 
overtaking is prohibited, your vehicle has just passed through, showing it on the 
gauge.

When the front wide view 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 front wide view 
camera’s field of vision and cause the system to 
operate abnormally.
Scratches, nicks, and other damage to the windscreen 
within the front wide view 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 front wide view 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 front wide view camera.
Proper calibration of the front wide view camera is 
necessary for the system to operate properly.

The Traffic Sign Recognition System is not activated for 
about 15 seconds after the power system is turned on.

You can turn the traffic sign recognition system on 
and off.

To help reduce the likelihood that high interior 
temperatures will cause the front wide view camera’s

the sun. If you use a reflective sun shade, do not 
allow it to cover the camera housing.
Covering the front wide view camera can

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
