When cleaning the inside  of the rear window, be 
careful not to damage  the heating wires.

when the window has been defogged.
Also, do not use the system for a long period when 
the engine is idling. This may weaken the battery, 
making it difficult to start the engine.Models with color audio system

Check the following items before you start driving.
• Make sure there are no obstructions on the windows, door mirrors, exterior 
lights, or other parts of the vehicle.
u Remove any frost, snow, or ice.
u Remove any snow on the roof, as this can slip down and obstruct your field of 
vision while driving. If frozen solid , remove ice once it has softened.
u When removing ice from around the wheels,  be sure not to damage the wheel 
or wheel components.
• Make sure the hood is securely closed.
u If the hood opens while driving, your front view will be blocked.
• Make sure the tires are in good condition.
u Check air pressure, check for damage and excessive wear.
2 Checking and Maintaining Tires  P. 516
•Make sure there are no people or ob jects behind or around the vehicle.

■Exterior Checks1Exterior Checks
NOTICE
When doors are frozen s hut, use warm water around 
the door edges to melt any ice. Do not try to force 
them open, as this can damage the rubber trim 
around the doors. When done, wipe dry to avoid 
further freezing.
Do not pour warm water  into the key cylinder.
You will be unable to insert key if the water freezes in 
the hole.
Heat from the engine  and exhaust can ignite 
flammable material s left under the hood, causing a 
fire. If you've parked y our vehicle for an extended 
period, inspect and remove  any debris that may have 
collected, such as dried grass and leaves that have 
fallen or have been carried  in for use as a nest by a 
small animal. Also check  under the hood for leftover 
flammable materials after  you or someone else has 
performed maintenance on your vehicle.

uuWhen Driving uFront Sensor Camera*
Driving
Front Sensor Camera*
The camera, used in systems such as  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 
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 
it.
■Camera Location and Handling Tips
1 Front Sensor Camera*
Never apply a film or attach any objects to the 
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 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. 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.
