559uu Honda Sensing ® u Road Departure Mitigation (RDM) System
Driving
The system becomes ready to start sear ching for lane mark ings when all the
following conditions are met:
• The vehicle is traveling between about 45 and 90 mph (72 and 145 km/h).
• The vehicle is on a straight or slightly curved road.
• The turn signals are off.
• The brake pedal is not depressed.
• The wipers are not in high speed operation.
• The vehicle is not accelera ting or braking, and the steering wheel is not being
turned.
• The system makes a determination that th e driver is not actively accelerating,
braking or steering.■ How the System Activates 1 Road Departure Mitigation (RDM) System
If LKAS is off and you have selected Narrow from the
customized options using the audio/information
screen, the message below will appear in case the
system determines a possibility of your vehicle
crossing over detect ed lane markings.

safety support indicator (a mber) comes and stays on.
2 Indicators P. 78
RDM system function can be impacted when the
vehicle is:
• Not driven within a traffic lane.
• Driven on the inside edge of a curve, or outside of
a lane.
• Driven in a narrow lane.

following.
1. Press the safety support switch.
2. Roll the left selector wheel to the
symbol and push it.
u The message appears on the driver

• Driving in bad weather (rain, fog, snow, etc.).
• Sudden changes between light and dark, su ch as an entrance or exit of a tunnel.
• There is little contrast between la ne lines and the roadway surface.
• Driving into low sunlight (e.g., at dawn or dusk).
• Strong light is reflected onto the roadway.
• Driving in the shadows of trees, buildings, etc.
• Shadows of adjacent objects are parallel to lane markings.
• Roadway objects or structures are misinterpreted as lane markers.
• Reflections on the interi or of the windshield.
• Driving at night or in a dark condition such as a tunnel.■ RDM On and Off 1 RDM On and Off

When you depress the brak e pedal, you may hear a
whirring sound from the engine compartment. This is
because the brake system is in operation, and it is
normal.
1 Parking Brake
You may hear the electric parking brake system
motor operating from the re ar wheel area when you
apply or release the parking brake. This is normal.
The brake pedal may slightly move due to the electric
