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 at in the front grille and a front
sensor camera mounted to the interior side
of the windshield, behind the rearview
mirror.
Front Sensor
Camera The camera is located
behind the rearview
mirror.
Radar Sensor The radar sensor is in
the front grille.
Adaptive Cruise Control
(ACC)
(P 433)
Helps maintain a constant vehicle speed and
a set following-interval behind a vehicle
detected ahead of yours, without you
having to keep your foot on the brake or
the accelerator.
Road Departure
Mitigation (RDM) System
(P 447)
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 452)
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 472)
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.

uuAdjusting the Seats uRear Seats
Controls
The rear seats can be folded down separa tely to allow for additional storage space.
■To fold down the seat
1. Store the center seat belt first. Insert the
latch plate into the slot on the side of the
anchor buckle.
2. Retract the seat belt into the holder on the
ceiling.
2 Seat Belt with Detachable Anchor P. 43
3.Lower the head restraint to its lowest
position.
4. Pull the release lever and fold down the
seat-back.
To return the seat to the original position, pull
up the seat-back in the upright position.
■Folding Down the Rear Seats1 Folding Down the Rear Seats
Make sure all items in the cargo area or items
extending to the rear seats are properly
secured. Loose items can fly forward if you have
to brake hard.
Remove any items from th e rear seat cushion and
floor before you fold down the rear seat.
To lock the seat-back upri ght, push it backwards until
it locks.
Make sure the seat-back, head restraints and seat
cushion are securely latche d back into place before
driving. Also, make sure all rear shoulder belts are
positioned in front of the seat-back, and the center
shoulder belt is re-posit ioned in the holding slot.
Make sure that the folded seat-back does not press
against the front passenger se at, as this can cause the
weight sensors in the front passenger seat to work
improperly.

Driving
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)*
Helps maintain a constant vehicle speed an d a set following-interval behind a vehicle
detected ahead of yours, without you having to keep your foot on the brake or the
accelerator.1 Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)*
Important Reminder
As with any system, there are limits to ACC. Use the
brake pedal whenever necessary, and always keep a
safe interval betw een your vehicle and other vehicles.
Shift up when the engine revolutions is increasing.
Shift down when the engine revolutions is decreasing.
You can keep the set speed if you change the shift position
within five second after depressing the clutch pedal.
You can read about handling information for the
camera equipped with this system.
2 Front Sensor Camera
* P. 431
3WARNING
Improper use of ACC can lead to a crash.
Use ACC only when driving on expressways or
freeways in good weather conditions.
3WARNING
ACC has limited braking capability.
When your vehicle speed drops below
22 mph (35 km/h), ACC will automatically
cancel and no longer will apply your
vehicle’s brakes.
Always be prepared to apply the brake
pedal when conditions require.
Manual transmission models
When to use
■Vehicle speed for ACC: Desired speed in a range above roughly 25 mph
(40 km/h) ~
■Shift position for ACC: In ( D or (S
■Shift position for ACC: In (2 or higher position

■How to activate the system
1Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)*
The radar sensor for ACC is shared with the collision
mitigation braking systemTM (CMBSTM)
2 Collision Mitigation Braking SystemTM
(CMBSTM)* P. 472
When not using ACC: Turn off adaptive cruise by
pressing the MAIN button. This also will turn off the
Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS).
When the MAIN button is pressed both ACC and the
Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS) are either turned
on or off.
ACC may not work properly under certain conditions. 2 ACC Conditions and Limitations P. 438
Do not use ACC under the following conditions:
•On roads with heavy traf fic or while driving in
continuous stop and go traffic.
•On roads with sharp turns.•On roads with steep downhill sections, as the set
vehicle speed can be exceeded by coasting. In such
cases, ACC will not apply the brakes to maintain
the set speed.
•On roads with toll collection facilities or other
objects between lanes of traffic, or in parking
areas, or faci lities with driv e through access.
How to use
■Press the MAIN button on
the steering wheel.
ACC is on in the multi-
information display.
ACC is ready to use.

Always keep the radar sensor cover clean.
Never use chemical solvents or polishing powder for
cleaning the sensor cover. Clean it with water or a
mild detergent.
Do not put a sticker on the radar sensor cover or
replace the radar sensor cover.
If you need the radar sensor to be repaired, or
removed, or the radar se nsor cover is strongly
impacted, turn off the system by pressing the MAIN
button and take your vehicle to a dealer.
Have your vehicle checked by a dealer if you find any
unusual behavior of the system (e.g., the warning
message appears too frequently).
If the front of the vehicle is impacted in any of the
following situations, the ra dar sensor may not work
properly. Have your vehi cle checked by a dealer:
•The vehicle mounted onto a bump, curb, chock,
embankment, etc.
•You drive the vehicle where the water is deep.•Your vehicle has a frontal collision.
