uuWhen Driving uForward Collision Warning (FCW)
*
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.
u Take 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).
1 Forward 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. 97, 299
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 wi th Lane Departure Warning
(LDW).

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.Models with information display
1 How the system works
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 dirt, 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 detected (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.
1 Automatic 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 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.Models with information display

uuWhen Driving uTire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) - Required Federal Explanation
Driving
Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for proper tire
maintenance, and it is the driver's responsibility to maintain
correct tire pressure, even if under-inflation has not reached the
level to trigger illumination of the TPMS low tire pressure telltale.
Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS malfunction
indicator to indicate when the system is not operating properly.
The TPMS malfunction indicator is combined with the low tire
pressure telltale. When the system detects a malfunction, the
telltale will flash for approximately one minute and then remain
continuously illuminated. This sequen ce will continue upon
subsequent vehicle start-ups as long as the malfunction exists.
When the malfunction indicator is illuminated, the system may
not be able to detect or signal low tire pressure as intended.
TPMS malfunctions may occur for a variety of reasons, including
the installation of replacement or alterna te tires or wheels on the
vehicle that prevent the TPMS from functioning properly.
Always check the TPMS malfunction telltale after replacing one or
more tires or wheels on your vehicle to ensure that the
replacement or alternate tires and wheels allow the TPMS to
continue to function properly.
