1Forward Collision Warning (FCW)*
Never apply a film or attach any objects to the
windshield that could obs truct the FCW camera’s
field of vision.
Scratches, nicks, and othe r damage to the windshield
within the FCW camera’s fi eld of vision can cause the
system to operate abnormall y. If this occurs, we
recommend that you replac e the windshield with a
genuine Honda replacem ent windshield. Making
even minor repairs within th e camera’s field of vision
or installing an aftermarket replacement windshield
may also cause the system to operate abnormally.
After replacing the winds hield, have a dealer
recalibrate the camera. Prop er calibration of the FCW
camera is necessary for the system to operate
properly.
The camera is located
behind the rearview mirror.

Driving
■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.
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 likel ihood that high interior
temperatures will cause the camera system to shut
off, when parking, find a sh ady 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 cool s down the area around
the FCW system.

Driving
Lane Departure Warning (LDW)*
Alerts you when the system detects a possibility of your vehicle unintentionally
crossing over detected lane markings.

visual alerts.
The beeper sounds and the Lane Departure
message appears on the i-MID, letting you
know that you need to take appropriate
action.

Important Safety Reminder
Like all assistance systems, LDW has limitations.
Over-reliance on LDW may result in a collision. It is
always your respons ibility to keep the vehicle within
your driving lane.
LDW only alerts you when lane drift is detected
without a turn signal in us e. LDW may not detect all
lane markings or lane departures; a ccuracy will vary

Do not place an object on the top of the instrument
panel. It may reflect onto the windshield and prevent
the system from detecting lane lines properly.

LaneWatchTM
Is an assistance system that allows yo u to check the passenger side rear areas
displayed on the audio/information screen when the turn signal is activated to the

and allows you to check for ve hicles, in addition to your visual check and use of the
passenger door mirror. You can also keep the system on for your convenience while
driving.1 LaneWatchTM
Important Safety Reminder
Like all assistance systems, LaneWatch has
limitations. Over reliance on LaneWatch may result in
a collision.
The LaneWatch func tion can be affected by weather,
lighting (including headli ghts and low sun angle),
ambient darkness, camera condition, and loading.
The LaneWatch may not prov ide the intended display
of traffic to the side and rear under the following
conditions:
•Your vehicle’s suspension has been altered,
changing the height of the vehicle.
•Your tires are over or under inflated.•Your tires or wheels are of varied size or
construction.
3WARNING

change lanes before doing so may result in
a crash and serious injury or death.
Do not rely only on LaneWatch while
driving.
Always look in your mi rrors, to either side
of your vehicle, and behind you for other
vehicles before changing lanes.
