1. Pull the release lever in the trunk to release 
the lock.
2. Fold the seat-back down.
■Folding Down the Rear Seats1Folding Down the Rear Seats
The rear seat-backs can be folded down to 
accommodate bulkier  items in the trunk.
Never drive with the seat-back folded down and the 
trunk lid open. 2 Exhaust Gas Hazard  P. 73
To lock a seat-back upright, push it backwards until it 
locks.
When returning the seat-back  to its original position, 
push it firmly back. Also, m ake sure all rear shoulder 
belts are positioned in  front of the seat-back.
Make sure that the folded seat-back does not press 
against the front passenger seat, as this can cause the 
weight sensors in the front  passenger seat to work 
improperly.
2 Passenger Front Airbag Off Indicator  P. 58
Make sure all items in the trunk or items 
extending through the opening into the rear 
seats are properly secured. Loose items can fly 
forward if you have to brake hard.
The front seat(s) must be  far enough forward so they 
do not interfere with the rear seats as they fold 
down.

uuBefore Driving uDriving Preparation
Driving
• Be sure items placed on the floor behind the front seats cannot roll under the 
seats.
u They can interfere with the  driver's ability to operate the pedals, the operation 
of the seats, or the operation  of the sensors under the seats.
• Everyone in the vehicle must  fasten their seat belt.
2Fastening a Seat Belt  P. 42
•Make sure that the indicators in the ins trument panel come on when you start the 
vehicle, and go off soon after.
u Always have a dealer check the vehicle if a problem is indicated.

Honda Sensing®
Honda Sensing® is a driver support system which employs the use of two distinctly 
different kinds of sensors: a radar sensor  located in the lower bumper and a front 
sensor camera mounted to the interior side  of the windshield, behind the rearview 
mirror.
Honda Sensing ® has following functions.

Driving
Collision Mitigati on Braking SystemTM (CMBSTM)
Can assist you when there is a possibility of your vehicle colliding with a vehicle or a 
pedestrian detected in  front of yours. The CMBSTM 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.
1 Collision Mitigation Braking SystemTM (CMBSTM)
Important Safety Reminder
The CMBS
TM is designed to reduce the severity of an 
unavoidable collision. It does not prevent collision nor 
stop the vehicle automatically. It is still your 
responsibility to  operate the brake  pedal and steering 
wheel appropriately acco rding to the driving 
conditions.
When the CMBS
TM activates, the engine may stop 
automatically.
Start the engine  by normal operation  if the engine 
stops. 2 Starting the Engine  P. 432, 435
The CMBS
TM may not activate or may not detect a 
vehicle in front of y our vehicle under certain 
conditions: 2 CMBS
TM Conditions and Limitations  P. 473
You can read about handling information for the 
camera equipped with this system. 2 Front Sensor Camera  P. 521

Driving
■How the system works1How the system works
When the CMBS
TM activates, it  may automatically 
apply the brake. It will be canceled when your vehicle 
stops or a potential coll ision is not determined.
The radar sensor is in 
the lower bumper.
The camera is located 
behind the rearview 
mirror.
The system starts monitoring the roadway ah ead when your vehicle speed is about 
3 mph (5 km/h) and there is a vehicle in front of you.
When to use
The CMBSTM activates when:●The speed difference between your vehicle and a vehicle or pedestrian detected 
in front of you becomes about 3 mph (5 km/h) and over with a chance of a 
collision.
●Your vehicle speed is about 62 mph (100 km/h) or less and the system determines 
there is a chance of a collision with:
- Vehicles detected in front of you that ar e stationary, oncoming, or traveling in your 
same direction.
- A pedestrian who is detected in front of you.
●Your vehicle speed is above 62 mph (100 km/h), and the system determines there 
is a chance of a collision with a vehicle detected in front of you traveling in your 
same direction.
