551uu Honda Sensing ® u Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS)
Driving
Provides assistance to keep the vehicle in the center of the lane. When the vehicle
nears a white or yellow line, steering force of the electric power steering will become
stronger.
When the vehicle enters the warning area, the LKAS alerts you with slight steering
wheel vibration as well as a warning display.■ Lane Keep Support Function 1 Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS)
The LKAS may not function as designed while driving
in frequent stop and go traf fic, or on roads with
sharp curves.
When it fails to detect lanes, the system will
temporarily be canceled. When a lane is detected, the
system will recover automatically.

Driving ■ The system operation is suspended if
you:
• Set the wipers to HI .
u Turning the wipers off or setting it to LO
resumes the LKAS.
• Decrease the vehicle speed to about 40 mph
(64 km/h) or less.
u Increasing the vehicle speed to about
45 mph (72 km/h) or more resumes the
LKAS.
• Depress the brake pedal.
u The LKAS resumes and starts detecting
the lane lines again once you release the
brake pedal.
• Set the wiper switch to AUTO and the
wipers operate at high speed.
u The LKAS resumes when the wipers stop
or operate at low speed.
■ The LKAS may automatically be suspended when:
• The system fails to detect lane lines.
• The steering wheel is quickly turned.
• You fail to steer the vehicle.
• Driving through a sharp curve.
• Driving at a speed in excess of approximately 90 mph (145 km/h).
Once these conditions no longer exis t, the LKAS automatically resumes.When the LKAS is suspended,
the lane lines on the driver
information interface change to
contour lines, and the beeper
sounds (if activated).

Driving
■ The LKAS may automatically be canceled when:
• The camera temperature gets extremely high or low.
• The camera behind the rearview mirror, or the area around the camera, including
the windshield, gets dirty.
• The ABS or VSA ® system engages.
The beeper sounds if the LKAS is automatically canceled.
The system may not detect lane markings and therefore may not keep the vehicle in
the middle of a lane under certain conditions, including the following:
■ Environmental conditions
• Driving in bad weather (rain, fog, snow, etc.).
• Sudden changes between light and dark, such 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 reflec ted onto the roadway.
• Driving in the shadows of trees, buildings, etc.
• Shadows of adjacent objects ar e 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.■ LKAS Conditions and Limitations

Driving ■ Roadway conditions
• Driving on a snowy or wet roadway (obscured lane marking, vehicle tracks,
reflected lights, road spray, high contrast).
• Driving on a road with temporary lane markings.
• Faint, multiple, or varied lane markings are visible on the roadway due to road
repairs or old lane markings.
• The roadway has merging, split, or crossing lines (e.g., such as at an intersection
or crosswalk).
• The lane markings are extremely narrow, wide, or changing.
• The vehicle in front of you is driving near the lane lines.
• The road is hilly or the vehicle is approaching the crest of a hill.
• Driving on rough or unpaved roads, or over bumpy surfaces. Faded lines Duplicate lines Tire tracks

558 uu Honda Sensing ® u Road Departure Mitigation (RDM) System
Driving Road Departure Mitigation (RDM) System Alerts and helps to assist you when the system determines a possibility of your
vehicle unintentionally crossing over dete cted lane markings and/or leaving the
roadway altogether.
The front camera behind the rearview mirror
monitors left and right la ne markings (in white
or yellow). If your vehicle is getting too close
to detected lane markings without a turn
signal activated, the sy stem, in addition to a
visual alert, applies st eering torque and alerts
you with rapid vibrations on the steering
wheel, to help you remain within the detected
lane. 2 Customized Features P. 370, 381
As a visual alert, the Lane Departure
message appears on the driver information
interface.
If the system determines that its steering i nput 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 assistin g operations when you turn the steering wheel to avoid
crossing over detected lane markings.
If the system operates several times withou t 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 RDM Conditions and Limitations P. 560
There are times when you may not notice RDM
functions due to your opera tion of the vehicle, or
road surface conditions.
