Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with Low Speed Follow

Driving

Take your foot off the pedal and press the

SET/–

button when you reach the desired speed.

The moment you release the

SET/–

button, the set speed is fixed, and cruise control

begins. The

indicator (green) comes on.

When you use cruise control, Straight Driving Assist (a feature of the Electric Power
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.

•

Each time you press the

RES/+

SET/–

button, the vehicle speed is increased or

decreased by about 1 mph or 1 km/h.

•

If you keep pressing the

RES/+

SET/–

button, the vehicle speed increases or

decreases by about 5 mph or 5 km/h.

To cancel cruise control, do any of the following:

•

Press the

CANCEL

button.

The

indicator (green) on the driver information interface change to the

indicator (white).

•

Press the

button.

Resuming the prior set speed:
After cruise control has been canceled, you can still
resume the prior set speed by pressing the

RES/+

button while driving at a speed of at least 25 mph (40
km/h) or more.

You cannot set or resume in the following situations:

•

When vehicle speed is less than 25 mph (40 km/h)

•

When the

button is turned off.

At vehicle speeds of 22 mph (35 km/h) or less, cruise
control is canceled automatically.

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. 115

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:

camera equipped with this system.

P. 499

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.

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.

■

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

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

Road Departure Mitigation (RDM) System

Driving

Road Departure Mitigation (RDM) System

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

The front camera behind the rearview mirror
monitors left and right lane markings (in white
or yellow). If your vehicle is getting too close
to detected lane markings 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.

Customized Features

P. 357

As a visual alert, the

Lane Departure

message appears on the driver information
interface.

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

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.

■

How the System Works

Road Departure Mitigation (RDM) System

Important Safety Reminder

Like all assistance systems, the RDM system has
limitations.
Overreliance on the RDM system may result in a
collision. It is always your responsibility to keep the
vehicle within your driving lane.

The RDM system only alerts you when lane drift is
detected without a turn signal in use. The RDM
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.

Driving

Traffic Sign Recognition System

Reminds you of road sign information, such as the current speed limit, 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 recognized 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 other designated limit is detected.

•

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

■

How the System Works

Traffic Sign Recognition System

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
windshield that could obstruct the camera’s field of
vision and cause the system to operate abnormally.
Scratches, nicks, and other damage to the windshield
within the camera’s field of vision can cause the
system to operate abnormally. If this occurs, we
recommend that you replace the windshield with a
genuine Honda replacement windshield. Making
even minor repairs within the camera’s field of vision
or installing an aftermarket replacement windshield
may also cause the system to operate abnormally.
After replacing the windshield, have a dealer
recalibrate the camera. Proper calibration of the
camera is necessary for the system to operate
properly.

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

Covering the camera can concentrate heat on it.
