Quick Reference Guide
Why does the brake pedal
pulsate slightly when
applying the brakes?This can occur when the ABS activates and does not indicate a
problem. Apply firm, steady pressure on the brake pedal. Never
pump the brake pedal.
2Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) (P 530)
Why do the doors lock
after I unlocked the doors?If you do not open the doors within 30 seconds, the doors are
relocked automatically for security.
Why does the beeper
sound when I open the
driver’s door?The beeper sounds when:
●The exterior lights are left on.
●The key is left in the ignition switch.
●The power mode is in ACCESSORY.
Why does a beeper sound
when I walk away from the
vehicle after I close the
door?The beeper sounds if you move outside the walk away auto
door lock operating range before the door completely closes.

Driving
Vehicle Stability Assist ® (VSA ®), aka Electronic
Stability Control (ESC), System
VSA ® helps to stabilize the vehicle during cornering if the vehicle turns more or less
than what was intended. It also assists in maintaining traction on slippery surfaces.
It does so by regulating engine output and selectively applying the brakes.
When VSA® activates, you may notice that the
engine does not respond to the accelerator.
You may also notice some noise from the
hydraulic system. You will also see the
indicator blink.
■VSA ® Operation
1 Vehicle Stability Assist ® (VSA ®), aka Electronic Stability Control
(ESC), System
VSA ® may not function properly if tire types and sizes
are mixed. Make sure to use the same size and type
of tire, and the air pressures are as specified.
When the VSA ® system indicator comes on and stays
on while driving, there ma y be a problem with the
system. While this may not interfere with normal
driving, have your vehi cle checked by a dealer
immediately.
The indicators for the Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)*,
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with Low Speed Follow*,
Road Departure Mitigation (RDM)*, Vehicle Stability
Assist
® (VSA®) system, Vehicle Stability Assist® (VSA®)
OFF, Low Tire Pressure/TPMS* and Collision Mitigation
Braking SystemTM (CMBSTM)* may come on after re-
connecting the battery. Drive a short distance at more
than 12 mph (20 km/h). The indicators should go off. If
they do not, have your vehicle checked by a dealer.
VSA ® cannot enhance stability in all driving situations
and does not control the entire braking system. You
still need to drive and corner at speeds appropriate
for the conditions and always leave a sufficient
margin of safety.
The main function of the VSA ® system is generally
known as Electronic Stab ility Control (ESC). The
system also includes a traction control function.

uuWhen Driving uAgile Handling Assist
Driving
Agile Handling Assist
Lightly brakes selective wheels, as needed , when you turn the steering wheel, and
helps support the vehicle’s stability and performance during cornering.
Limited Slip Differential (LSD)
LSD (limited slip differential) is a type of differential that delivers extra torque to the
wheel or the wheels with the most tractio n to minimize wheel slip and maintain
control of the vehicle.
1 Agile Handling Assist
The agile handling assist ca nnot enhance stability in
all driving situations. You still need to drive and
corner at speeds appropriate for the conditions and
always leave a sufficient margin of safety.
When the VSA ® system indicator comes on and stays
on while driving, the agil e handling assist does not
activate.
You may hear a sound coming from the engine
compartment while the agile handling assist is
activated. This is normal.
Models with SPORT mode
1 Limited Slip Differential (LSD)
NOTICE
Make sure both front tires of your vehicle are of the
same brand and specified si ze, and have equal wear.
Otherwise, the LSD may not function properly.

■When the system activates
At system’s earliest collision alert stage, you can change the distance ( Long/
Normal /Short) between vehicles at which alerts will come on through driver
information interface or audio/in formation screen setting options.

1When the system activates
The camera in the CMBS
TM is also designed to detect
pedestrians.
However, this pedestrian detection feature may not
activate or may not detect a pedestrian in front of
your vehicle under certain conditions.
Refer to the ones indicating the pedestrian detection
limitations from the list. 2 CMBS
TM Conditions and Limitations P. 473
The system provides visual and audible alerts of a possible collision, and stops if the
collision is avoided.
u Take appropriate action to prevent a collision (apply the brakes, change
lanes, etc.)

uuHonda Sensing ®u Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with Low Speed Follow*
Driving
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with Low Speed
Follow*
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 Low Speed Follow slows y our vehicle by applying the brakes, your
vehicle’s brake lights will illuminate.
1 Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with Low Speed Follow*
Important Reminder
As with any system, there are limits to ACC with Low
Speed Follow. Use the brake pedal whenever
necessary, and always keep a safe interval between
your vehicle and other vehicles.
The radar sensor for ACC with Low Speed Follow is shared
with the collision mitigation braking systemTM (CMBSTM).2 Collision Mitigation Braking SystemTM
(CMBSTM) P. 468
3WARNING
Improper use of ACC with Low Speed
Follow can lead to a crash.
Use ACC with Low Speed Follow only
when driving on expressways or
freeways and in good weather
conditions.
3WARNING
ACC with Low Speed Follow has limited
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 cond itions require.
When to use
■Vehicle speed for ACC with Low Speed Follow: A vehicle is detected ahead
within ACC with Low Speed Follow range – ACC with Low Speed Follow
operates at speeds up to 90 mph (145 km/h).
No vehicle is detected within ACC with Low Speed Follow range – ACC with
Low Speed Follow operates at the speed of 25 mph (40 km/h) or above.
■Shift position for ACC wi th Low Speed Follow: In (D or (S.
The radar sensor is in
the lower bumper.
Be careful not to have
the radar sensor cover
strongly impacted.
The camera is
located behind
the rearview
mirror.
