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 front lower grille and a front
sensor camera mounted to the interior side of the windshield, behind the rearview
mirror.
Honda Sensing ® has following functions.
■The functions which do not requir e switch operations to activate
• Collision Mitigation Braking SystemTM (CMBSTM) 2 P. 490
• Road Departure Mitigation (RDM) System 2 P. 525
• Traffic Sign Recognition System 2 P. 530
■The functions wh ich require switch operations to activate
• Adaptive Cruise Control ( ACC) with Low Speed Follow
2 P. 499
• Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS) 2 P. 517

uuHonda Sensing ®u Collision Mitigation Braking SystemTM (CMBSTM)
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.
■How the system works
1 Collision Mitigation Braking SystemTM (CMBSTM)
Important Safety Reminder
The CMBS
TM is designed to reduce the severity of an
unavoidable collision. It do es not prevent a collision
nor stop the vehicle automati cally. It is still your
responsibility to operate the brake pedal and steering
wheel appropriately acco rding to the driving
conditions.
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. 494
You can read about handling information for the
camera equipped with this system. 2 Front Sensor Camera P. 536
For directions on the prop er handling of the radar
sensor, refer to the following page. 2 Radar Sensor P. 538
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 at the
lower part of the front
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.

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

1Collision Mitigation Braking SystemTM (CMBSTM)
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. 494
The system provides visual and audible alerts of a possible collisi on, and stops if the
collision is avoided.

lanes, etc.).

The system has three alert stages for a possible collision. However, depending on circumstances, the CMBSTM may not go through all of
the stages before initiating the last stage.

When you turn the CMBSTM on and off, do the
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
information interface when the system
becomes on or off.
The CMBS
TM is turned on every time you start
the power system, even if you turned it off the
last time you drove the vehicle.

The CMBS
TM may automatically shut off, and the
safety support indicator (amb er) will come and stay
on under certain conditions:

When the CMBS
TM is activated, it will continue to
operate even if the accele rator pedal is partially

The system may automatically shut off and the safety support indicator (amber) will
come on under certain conditions. Some examples of these conditions are listed
below. Other conditions may reduce some of the CMBS
TM functions.

■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 objects and the background.
• Driving into low sunlight (e.g., at dawn or dusk).

• Driving in the shadows of trees, buildings, etc.
• Roadway objects or structures are misint erpreted as vehicles and pedestrians.
• Reflections on the interi or of the windshield.
• Driving at night or in a dark place such as a tunnel (due to low-light conditions,
pedestrians or other vehicles may not be detected).
■Roadway conditions
• Driving on a snowy or wet roadway (obscured lane marking, vehicle tracks,
reflected lights, road spray, high contrast).
• Driving on curvy, winding, or undulating roads.
• The road is hilly or the vehicle is approaching the crest of a hill.
■CMBSTM Conditions and Limitations1Collision Mitigation Braking SystemTM (CMBSTM)
Have your vehicle checked by a dealer if you find any
unusual behavior of the system (e.g., the warning
message appears too frequently).
