Driving
Front Sensor Camera*
The camera, used in systems such as LDW, FCW with Pedestrian Detection, LKAS,
RDM, ACC with LSF, and CMBSTM, is designed to detect an object that triggers any
of the systems to operate its functions.
This camera is located behind the rearview
mirror.
To help reduce the likelihood that high interior
temperatures will cause the camera’s sensing
s y s t e m t o s h u t o f f , w h e n p a r k i n g , f i n d a s h a d y
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
it.
■Camera Location and Handling Tips
1Front Sensor Camera*
Never apply a film or attach any objects to
windshield, the hood, or the front grill that could
obstruct the camera’s fiel d of vision and cause the
system to operate abnormally.
Scratches, nicks, and othe r damage to the windshield
within the camera’s fiel d of vision can cause the
system to operate abnormall y. If this occurs, we
recommend that you replac e the windshield with a
genuine Acura replacement windshield. Making even
minor repairs within the ca mera’s field of vision or
installing an aftermarke t replacement windshield
may also cause the system to operate abnormally.
After replacing the winds hield, have a dealer
recalibrate the camera. Pr oper calibration of the
camera is necessary for the system to operate
properly.
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.

uuWhen Driving uAdaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with Low Speed Follow (LSF)*
Continued
Driving
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with Low Speed
Follow (LSF)*
Helps maintain a constant vehicle speed and a set following-distance behind a
vehicle detected ahead of yours and, if the detected vehicle slows to a stop,
decelerates and stops your vehicle, withou t you having to keep your foot on the
brake or the accelerator.
When ACC with LSF slows your vehicle by applying the brakes, your vehicle’s brake
lights will illuminate.
1 Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with Low Speed Follow (LSF)*
Important Reminder
As with any system, there are limits to ACC with LSF.
Use the brake pedal whenever necessary, and always
keep a safe distance between your vehicle and other
vehicles.
3WARNING
Improper use of ACC wi th LSF can lead to a
crash.
Use ACC with LSF only when driving on
expressways or freeways and in good
weather conditions.
3WARNING
ACC with LSF has limited braking capability
and may not stop your vehicle in time to
avoid a collision with a vehicle that quickly
stops in front of you.
Always be prepared to apply the brake
pedal if the conditions require.
When to use
■Vehicle speed for ACC with LSF: A vehicle is detected ahead within ACC with
LSF range – ACC with LSF operates at speeds up to 90 mph (145 km/h).
No vehicle is detected within ACC with LSF range – ACC with LSF operates at
the speed of about 25 mph (40 km/h) or above.
■Gear position for ACC with LSF: In ( D or (S. The radar sensor is in
the front grille.
The camera is
located behind the
rearview mirror.

uuWhen Driving uAdaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with Low Speed Follow (LSF)*
Driving
■Automatic ca ncellation
The beeper sounds and a message appear s on the MID when ACC with LSF is
automatically canceled. Any of these co nditions may cause the ACC with LSF to
automatically cancel:
• Bad weather (rain, fog, snow, etc.)
• When the radar sensor in the front grille gets dirty.
• The vehicle ahead of yo u cannot be detected.
• An abnormal tire condition is de tected, or the tires are skidding.
• Driving on a mountainous road, or driving off road for extended periods.
• Abrupt steering wheel movement.
• When the ABS, VSA ® or CMBS
TM is activated.
• When the ABS or VSA ® system indicator comes on.
• When the vehicle is stopped on a very steep slope.
• When you manually apply the parking brake.
• When the detected vehicle within the AC C with LSF range is too close to your
vehicle.
• When a detected vehicle goes out of the ACC with LSF range while your vehicle
is stationary.
• The camera behind the rearview mirror, or the area around the camera, including
the windshield, gets dirty.
The ACC with LSF automatic cancellation ca n be also triggered by the following
causes.
• The driver’s seat belt is unfastened when the vehicle is stationary.
• The vehicle stops for more than 10 minutes.
• The engine is turned off.
• When trailer stability assist
* is activated.
