uuWhen DrivinguForward Collision Warning (FCW)*
Continued
Driving
Forward Collision Warning (FCW) *
Alerts you when it determines that there is a possibility that your vehicle may collide
with a vehicle detected in front of yours.
If the system determines a collision is possible, it gives both visual and audible alerts,
including a heads-up warning that flashes on the windshield.
uTake appropriate action to prevent a collision (apply the brakes, change lanes, etc.).
■ How the system works
The system may give warnings of potential collisions when your vehicle speed is
above 10 mph (15 km/h).
1Forward Collision Warning (FCW) *
Important Safety Reminder
FCW cannot detect all objects ahead and may not
detect a given object; accuracy of the system will vary
based on weather, speed and other factors. FCW
does not include a braking function. It is always your
responsibility to safely operate the vehicle and avoid collisions.
You can change the Forward Collision Warning
Distance setting or turn the system on and off. 2 Customized Features P. 101, 293
For the FCW system to work properly:
• Always keep the radar sensor cover clean.
• Never use chemical solvents or polishing
compounds to clean the sensor cover. Instead,
clean it with water and a mild detergent.
• Do not put anything on the radar sensor cover.
See a dealer if the radar sensor gets damaged or
requires repair.
The camera is shared with Lane Departure Warning
(LDW). 2 Lane Departure Warning Camera (LDW

Driving
1Forward Collision Warning (FCW) *
Never apply a film or attach any objects to the
windshield that could obstruct the FCW camera's
field of vision.
Scratches, nicks, and other damage to the windshield
within the FCW 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 FCW
camera is necessary for the system to operate properly.

The heads-up warning uses a lens located at the front
end of the dashboard.
Do not cover the lens or spill any liquid on it.

Automatic shutoff
FCW may automatically shut itself off and the FCW indicator comes and stays on when:
• The temperature inside the system is high.
• The windshield is blocked by di rt, mud, leaves, wet snow, etc.
• You drive off-road or on a mountain road, or curved and winding road for an
extended period.
• You drive in bad weather (rain, fog, snow, etc.).
• The radar sensor cover is blocked by dirt, mud, leaves, wet snow, etc.
• An abnormal tire condition is detec ted (wrong tire size, flat tire, etc.).
Once the conditions that caused FCW to shut off improve or are addressed (e.g.,
cleaning), the system comes back on.
1Automatic shutoff
To help reduce the likelihood that high interior
temperatures will cause the camera 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
camera housing. Covering the camera can
concentrate heat on the camera.
If the Camera Too Hot message appears:
• Use the climate control system to cool down the
interior and, if necessary, the defroster mode when
windows are fogged.
• Start driving the vehicle to lower the windshield
temperature, which cools down the area around
the FCW system.

● The vehicle ahead of you is a motorcycle, a small vehicle, or a unique vehicle such as a tractor.

makes it difficult for the sensor/camera to properly detect a vehicle in front of you.
● When there are pedestrians or animals in front of your vehicle.
● When you drive in bad weather (rain, fog, etc.).
● A heavy load in the rear or modifications to the suspension tilts your vehicle.

Information
5.Select a nearby, lightly traveled major highway where you can maintain a speed
of 50 to 60 mph (80 to 97 km/h) for at least 20 minutes. Drive on the highway in
(D . Do not use cruise control. When traffic allows, drive for 90 seconds without
moving the accelerator pedal. (Vehicle speed may vary slightly; this is okay.) If you
cannot do this for a continuous 90 seconds because of traffic conditions, drive for
at least 30 seconds, then repeat it two more times (for a total of 90 seconds).
6. Drive in city/suburban traffic for at least 10 minutes. When traffic conditions
allow, let the vehicle coast for several seconds without using the accelerator pedal
or the brake pedal.
7. Park the vehicle and leave the power system off for 40 minutes.
