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.

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.

Continued
Driving
Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS)
Provides steering input to help keep the vehicle in the middle of a detected lane and 
provides tactile and visual al erts if the vehicle is detected drifting out of its lane.1Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS)
Important Safety Reminders
The LKAS is for your convenience only. It is not a 
substitute for your vehicl e control. The system does 
not work if you take y our hands off the steering 
wheel or fail to steer the vehicle.
2 Driver Information Interface Warning and 
Information Messages  P. 94
Do not place objects on the instrument panel. 
Objects may reflect on th e front windshield and 
prevent correct detectio n of the traffic lanes.
LKAS only alerts you when  lane drift is detected 
without a turn signal in us e. The LKAS may not detect 
all lane markings or lane  departures; accuracy will 
vary based on weather,  speed, and lane marker 
condition.
It is always your  responsibility to  safely operate the 
vehicle and avoid collisions.
The LKAS is convenient when it is used on freeways.
The LKAS may not work  properly or may work 
improperly under the certain conditions:
2 LKAS Conditions and Limitations  P. 514
You can read about handling information for the 
camera equipped with this system. 2 Front Sensor Camera  P. 521
When you operate the turn signals to chan ge lanes, the system is suspended, and 
resumes after the signals are off.
If you make a lane change  without operating the turn  signals, the LKAS alerts 
activate, and torque is  applied to the steering.
■Front Sensor 
Camera
Monitors the 
lane lines■Tactile and visual alerts
Rapid vibrations on the steering wheel 
and a warning display alert you that 
the vehicle is drifting out of a detected 
lane.
■Steering input assist
The system applies torque to the steering to keep the vehicle between the left 
and right lane lines. The applied torque becomes stronger as the vehicle gets 
closer to either of the lane lines.

uuHonda Sensing ®u Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS)
Driving
The system can be used when th e following conditions are met.
• The lane in which you are driving has detectable lane markers on both sides, and 
your vehicle is in the center of the lane.
• The vehicle speed is between 45  and 90 mph (72 and 145 km/h).
• You are driving 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.
■How to activate the system
1.Press the  MAIN button.
u The LKAS  indicator comes on in the 
driver information interface.
The system is ready to use.
2. Press the LKAS button.
u Lane outlines appear on the driver 
information interface.
The system is activated.
■When the System can be Used1When the System can be Used
If the vehicle drifts toward either the left or right lane 
line due to the system appl ying torque, turn off the 
LKAS and have your vehi cle checked by a dealer.

uuHonda Sensing ®u Road Departure Mitigation (RDM) System
Continued
Driving
Road Departure Mitigation (RDM) System
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.
The front camera behind the rearview mirror 
monitors left and right lane markings (in white 
or yellow). If your vehicl e is getting too close to 
detected lane markings  without a turn signal 
activated, the system, in addition to a visual 
alert, applies steering torque and alerts you 
with rapid vibrations on  the steering wheel, to 
help you remain within the detected lane.
2 Customized Features P. 123, 335
As a visual alert, the  Lane Departure 
message appears on the driver information 
interface.
If the system determines that its steering input 
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 assisting operations wh en you turn the steering wheel to avoid 
crossing over detected lane markings.
If the system operates several times with out 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.
