Quick Reference Guide
Honda SensingTM *
Honda SensingTM is a driver support system 
which employs the use of two distinctly 
different kinds of sensors, a radar sensor 
located in the lower bumper and a front 
sensor camera mounted to the interior side 
of the windshield, behind the rear view 
mirror.
Front Sensor Camera The camera is located 
behind the rearview 
mirror.
Radar Sensor The radar sensor is in 
the lower bumper 
next to the fog light.
Adaptive Cruise Control 
(ACC) with Low Speed 
Follow (LSF)
* (P 416)
Helps maintain a constant vehicle speed and 
a set following interval behind a vehicle 
detected ahead of yours and, if the detected 
vehicle comes to a stop, can decelerate and 
stop your vehicle, wi thout you having to 
keep your foot on the brake or the 
accelerator.
Road Departure 
Mitigation (RDM) 
System
* (P 430)
Alerts and helps to assist you when the 
system detects a possibility of your vehicle 
unintentionally crossing over detected lane 
markings.
Lane Keeping Assist 
System (LKAS)
* (P 434)
Provides steering input to help keep the 
vehicle in the middle of a detected lane and 
provides tactile and visual alerts if the 
vehicle is detected drifting out of its lane.
Collision Mitigation 
Braking System
TM 
(CMBS
TM)* (P 459)
Can assist you when there is a possibility of 
your vehicle colliding with a vehicle or a 
pedestrian detected in front of yours. The 
CMBS
TM is designed to alert you when a 
potential collision is determined, as well as 
to reduce your vehicle speed to help 
minimize collision severity when a collision is 
deemed unavoidable.

transmitter?If you do not open the doors within 30 seconds, the doors are 
relocked automatically for security.
Why does the beeper 
sound when I open the 
driver’s door?The beeper sounds when:
●The key is left in the ignition switch*.

Security System
Immobilizer System
The immobilizer system prevents a key that has not been pre-registered from 
starting the engine. Each key contains el ectronic transmitters that use electronic 
signals to verify the key.
Pay attention to the following when inserti ng the key into the ignition switch or 
pressing the ENGINE START/STOP  button:
• Do not allow objects that emit strong radio waves near the ignition switch or the 
ENGINE START/STOP  button.
• Make sure the key is not covered by or touching a metal object.
• Do not bring a key from anot her vehicle’s immobilizer system near the ignition 
switch or the  ENGINE START/STOP  button.
• Do not put the key near magnetic items.  Electronic devices, such as televisions 
and audio systems emit strong magnetic  fields. Note that even a key chain can 
become magnetic.
Security System Alarm
The security system alarm activates wh en the trunk, hood or doors are forcibly 
opened. The alarm does not go off if the trunk or doors are opened with the key, 
remote transmitter or smart entry system

is moved out of
