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

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.

1LDW Camera
Never apply a film or attach any objects to the 
windshield that could obs truct the LDW camera’s 
field of vision.
Scratches, nicks, and othe r damage to the windshield 
within the LDW 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 LDW 
camera is necessary for the system to operate 
properly.
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. Also, do not use a 
reflective sunshade that  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 cool s down the area around 
the LDW system.

Driving
LaneWatchTM*
LaneWatch is an assistance system that allows you to check the passenger side rear 
areas displayed on the audio/information screen  when the turn signal is activated to 
the passenger’s side. A camera in the pass enger side door mirror monitors these 
areas and allows you to chec k for vehicles, 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*

Like all assistance systems, LaneWatch has 
limitations. Over reliance on LaneWatch may result in 
a collision.
The LaneWatch function can be  affected by weather, 
lighting (including headli ghts and low sun angle), 
ambient darkness, camera  condition, and loading.

of traffic to the side and rear under the following 
conditions:
•Your vehicle’s suspensi on 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
Failure to visually confirm that it is safe to 
change lanes before do ing so may result in 
a crash and serious injury or death.
Do not rely only on LaneWatch while 
driving.
Always look in your mirrors, to either side 
of your vehicle, and behind you for other 
vehicles before changing lanes.
The system activates when you: The passenger side view 
display appears on the 
audio/information 
screen.

■Reference Lines
Three lines that appear on the screen can give 
an idea of how far the vehicles or objects on 
the screen are from your vehicle, respectively. 
If an object is near line 1 (in red), it indicates 
that it is close to your vehicle whereas an 
object near line 3 farther away.
1LaneWatchTM*
The LaneWatch camera view is restricted. Its unique 
lens makes objects on the screen slightly look 
different from what they are.
LaneWatch display does not come on when the shift 
lever is in 
(R.
For proper LaneWatch operation:
•The camera is located in the passenger side door 
mirror. Always keep this area clean. If the camera lens 
is covered with dirt or moisture, use a soft, moist cloth 
to keep the lens clean and free of debris.
•Do not cover the camera lens with labels or stickers 
of any kind.
•Do not touch the camera lens.
1 Reference Lines
The area around the reference line 1 (red) is very close to 
your vehicle. As always, make sure to visually confirm 
the safety of a lane change before changing lanes.
The distance betwee n your vehicle and lines 1, 2 and 
3 on the screen vary depending on road conditions 
and vehicle loading. For ex ample, the reference lines 
on the screen may seem to appear closer than the 
actual distances when the rear of your vehicle is more 
heavily loaded.
Consult a dealer if:
•The passenger side door mirr or, or area around it is 
severely impacted, resulting in changing the 
camera angle.
•The LaneWatch display doe s not come on at all.
