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.

The LKAS is convenient when it is used on
expressways or 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:

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.

nears a white or yellow line, steering force of the electric power steering will become
stronger.

system will recover automatically.

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

When the System can be Used

When the System can be Used

If the vehicle drifts toward either left or right lane line
due to the system applying torque, turn off the LKAS
and have your vehicle checked by a dealer.

Be sure to keep the following below to activate the
system properly;

•

Always keep the windshield around the camera
clean.

•

When cleaning the windshield, be careful not to
apply windshield cleanser to the camera lens.

•

Do not touch the camera lens.

•

Do not attach a sticker to the area around the
camera.

If LKAS button is pressed when the system can be
used, LKAS is on without standby.

The system operation is suspended if
you:

•

Decrease the vehicle speed to about 40 mph
(64 km/h) or less.

Increasing the vehicle speed to about 45
mph (72 km/h) or more resumes the
LKAS.

•

Depress the brake pedal.

The LKAS resumes and starts detecting
the lane lines again once you release the
brake pedal.

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).

•

When the lane lines or road surface are not visible, such as when the distance to
the vehicle in front of you is extremely short or when at an intersection.

•

Strong light is reflected onto the roadway.

Honda Sensing

Traffic Jam Assist

Driving

Traffic Jam Assist

The traffic jam assist system uses a camera mounted to the upper portion of the
windshield to detect and monitor left and right white (or yellow) traffic lane lines.
Based on inputs from the camera, the system can apply steering torque to keep your
vehicle in the center of the detected lane.

■

How Traffic Jam Assist works

When you are in heavy traffic and LKAS is active, the traffic jam assist system, upon
detecting the traffic lane lines, will apply steering torque to help keep your vehicle in
the center of the lane.

When the driver takes full control of the steering, the steering assist function is
temporarily canceled.
The torque applied to the steering may not be noticeable when the driver has full
control of the steering, or when the surface of the road is rough or uneven.
