Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with Low Speed Follow

Driving

Increase or decrease the vehicle speed using the

RES/+

SET/–

button on the

steering wheel.

•

Each time you press the

RES/+

SET/–

button, the vehicle speed is increased or

decreased by about 1 mph or 1 km/h accordingly.

•

If you keep the

RES/+

SET/–

button pressed, the vehicle speed increases or

decreases by about 5 mph or 5 km/h accordingly.

■

To Adjust the Vehicle Speed

To Adjust the Vehicle Speed

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

You can switch the displayed set speed
measurements on the driver information interface or
audio/information screen between mph and km/h.

Each time you press the button, the following-
interval (the interval behind a vehicle detected
ahead of you) setting cycles through extra
long, long, middle, and short following-

The higher your vehicle’s following-speed is, the longer the short, middle, long or
extra long following-interval becomes. See the following examples for your
reference.

When your vehicle stops automatically because a vehicle detected ahead of you has
stopped, the interval between the two vehicles will vary based on the ACC with Low
Speed Follow interval setting.

Automatic cancellation

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

•

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

•

When the radar sensor at the lower part of the front bumper gets dirty.

•

The vehicle ahead of you cannot be detected.

•

An abnormal tire condition is detected, or the tires are skidding.

•

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

•

Abrupt steering wheel movement.

•

When the ABS, VSA

, CMBS

, or Low Speed Braking Control system

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 Low Speed Follow range is too
close to your vehicle.

•

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

•

When the Maximum Load Limit is exceeded.

•

When passing through an enclosed space, such as tunnel.

•

The vehicle has repeatedly applied the brakes to maintain the set speed (for
example, you are descending a long slope).

The ACC with Low Speed Follow 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 Low Speed Follow has been
automatically canceled, you can still resume the prior
set speed. Wait until the condition that caused ACC
with Low Speed Follow to cancel improves, then
press the

Steering system) is activated.
By enabling the steering system to automatically compensate for natural steering
pull, Straight Driving Assist makes it easier for you to keep your vehicle in a straight
line.

Honda Sensing

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 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 an
autonomous driving system and always requires
driver attention and 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. 109

The LKAS is convenient when it is used on freeways.

Do not place objects on the instrument panel.
Objects may reflect on the windshield 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 may not work properly or may work
improperly under the certain conditions:

LKAS Conditions and Limitations

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

Front Sensor Camera

P. 504

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.

■

Front Sensor Camera

Monitors the lane
lines.

■

Tactile and visual alerts

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

■

Steering input assist

The system applies torque to the steering to keep the vehicle between the left and
right lane lines. The applied torque becomes stronger as the vehicle gets closer to
either of the lane lines.

Honda Sensing

Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS)

Driving

Provides assistance to keep the vehicle in the center of the lane. When the vehicle
nears a white or yellow line, steering force of the electric power steering will become
stronger.

When the vehicle enters the warning area, the LKAS alerts you with slight steering
wheel vibration as well as a warning display.

■

Lane Keep Support Function

Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS)

The LKAS may not function as designed while driving
in frequent stop and go traffic, or on roads with
sharp curves.

When it fails to detect lanes, the system will
temporarily be canceled. When a lane is detected, the
system will recover automatically.
