Honda Sensing®
Honda Sensing® is a driver support system which employs the use of two distinctly
different kinds of sensors: a radar sensor located behind the emblem 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 the
potential for a 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 CMBSTM 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 th e brake pedal and steering
wheel appropriately according to the driving conditions.
The CMBS
TM may not activate or may not detect a
vehicle in front of your vehicle under certain conditions:
2 CMBSTM Conditions and Limitations P. 438
For directions on the prop er handling of the radar
sensor, refer to the following page. 2 Radar Sensor P. 475
You can read about handling information for the
camera equipped with this system. 2 Front Sensor Camera P. 473
1How the system works
Rapid vibrations on the st eering wheel alert you
when the your vehicle speed is between 19 and 62
mph (30 and 100 km/h) with an oncoming vehicle
detected in front of you.
When the CMBS
TM activates, it may automatically
apply the brake. It will be canceled when your vehicle
stops or a potential colli sion is not determined.
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. The radar sensor is
behind the emblem.
The CMBS
TM 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 there is a chance of a
collision with an oncoming detected vehicle or a pedestrian in front of you. The camera is
located behind the
rearview mirror.

■When the system activates
You can change the distance ( Long/Normal /Short ) between vehicles at which the
system's earliest collision alert will come on through audio/information screen
setting options.
2 Customized Features P. 324
■Vibration alert on the steering wheel
When a potential collision to an oncoming detected vehicle is determined, the
system alerts you with rapid vibration on th e steering wheel, in addition to visual and
audible alerts. u Take appropriate action to prevent a col lision (apply the brakes, operate the
steering wheel, etc.).
1 When 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. 438
The system provides visual, audible and tactile alerts of a possible collision, and
stops if the collision is avoided.

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

Stage oneThere is a risk of a collision

When in Long, visual and

longer distance from a vehicle
ahead than in Normal setting,
and in Short, at a shorter
distance than in Normal.

provided.

Press and hold the butt on until the beeper
sounds to switch the system on or off.
When the CMBS
TM is off:
• The CMBSTM indicator in the instrument
panel comes on.
• A message on the driver information
interface reminds you th at the system is off.
The CMBS
TM is turned on every time you start
the engine, even if you turned it off the last
time you drove the vehicle.

The system may automatically shut off and the CMBSTM indicator will come on under
certain conditions. Some examples of th ese conditions are listed below. Other
conditions may reduce some of the CMBS
TM functions.
