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 front grille and a front sensor 
camera mounted to the interior side of the 
windshield, behind the rear view mirror.
The camera is 
located behind the 
rearview mirror.
Front Sensor 
Camera
Radar Sensor
The radar sensor 
is inside the 
front grille.
Adaptive Cruise Control 
(ACC) with Low Speed 
Follow (LSF) 
(P 400)
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 396)
Alerts and helps to assist you when the 
system detects a possibility of your vehicle 
unintentionally crossing over detected lane 
markings and/or leaving the roadway 
altogether.
Lane Keeping Assist 
System (LKAS) 
(P 415)
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 439)
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.

Adjusting the Mirrors
Interior Rearview Mirror
Adjust the angle of the rearview mirror when you are sitting in the correct driving 
position.
When you are driving after dark, the 
automatic dimming rearview mirror reduces 
the glare from headlights behind you, based 
on inputs from the mirror sensor. This feature 
is always active.

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, hood, or front  grill that could obstruct 
the camera’s field 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 th e windshield, have an authorized 
Honda Clarity Plug-In Hybrid  dealer recalibrate the 
camera. Proper calibr ation 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 uRoad Departure Mitigation (RDM) System
Driving
Road Departure Mitigation (RDM) System
Alerts and helps to assist you when the sy stem detects a possibility of your vehicle 
unintentionally crossing over detected la ne markings and/or leaving the roadway 
altogether.
The front camera behind the rearview mirror 
monitors left and right lane markings (in white 
or yellow). If your vehicle is getting too close to 
detected lane markings without a turn signal 
activated, the system, in addition to a visual 
alert, applies steering torque and alerts you 
with rapid vibrations on the steering wheel, to 
help you remain within the detected lane.
2 Customized Features  P. 306
As a visual alert, the Lane Departure 
message appears on the driver information 
interface.
If the system determines  that its steering input 
is insufficient to keep your vehicle on the 
roadway, it may apply braking.
u Braking is applied only when the lane 
markings are solid continuous lines.
The system cancels assisting operations wh en you turn the steering wheel to avoid 
crossing over detected lane markings.
If the system operates several times without  detecting driver response, the system 
beeps to alert you.
■How the System Works
1 Road Departure Mitigation (RDM) System
Important Safety Reminder
Like all assistance systems, the RDM system has 
limitations.
Over-reliance on the RDM system may result in a 
collision. It is always your  responsibility to keep the 
vehicle within your driving lane.
The RDM system only alerts  you when lane drift is 
detected without a turn signal in use. The RDM 
system may not detect all la ne markings or lane or 
roadway departures; accu racy will vary based on 
weather, speed and lane marker condition. It is 
always your responsibilit y to safely operate the 
vehicle and avoid collisions.
You can read about handling information for the 
camera equipped with this system.
2 Front Sensor Camera  P. 394
The RDM system may not wo rk properly or may work 
improperly under the certain conditions: 2 RDM Conditions and Limitations  P. 398
There are times when you may not notice RDM 
functions due to your opera tion of the vehicle, or 
road surface conditions.

uuWhen Driving uAdaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with Low Speed Follow (LSF)
Driving
Adaptive Cruise Control  (ACC) with Low Speed 
Follow (LSF)
Helps maintain a constant vehicle speed an d a set following-interval behind a vehicle 
detected ahead of yours and, if the detect ed vehicle comes to a stop, can decelerate 
and stop your vehicle, without 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 interval betw een your vehicle and other 
vehicles.
Be careful not to severely  impact the radar sensor 
cover.
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 limite d 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 25 mph (40 km/h) or above.
■Gear position for ACC with LSF: In ( D. The radar sensor is 
in the front grille.
The camera is 
located behind 
the rearview 
mirror.
