Driving
Super Handling-All Wheel DriveTM (SH-AWD® )*
The system controls and transfers varying amounts of engine torque to each wheel
in accordance with the driving conditions.
SH-AWD ® helps to enhance driving stability, and lets you handle situations like
sli ppe r y sur f a c es , suc h a s o n w e t, i cy , o r sno wy r oa ds , b e tt e r t ha n wh e n dr iv ing wi t h
two wheel drive. However, the system do es not help to enhance braking. Be
precautious about the following:
• It is still your responsibility to drive safely when you steer, accelerate, and apply
brakes.
• Leave a sufficient margin when braking on slippery surfaces.1Super Handling-All Wheel DriveTM (SH-AWD ®)*
The SH-AWD ® system may not function properly if
tire type and size are mixed.
Make sure to use the same size and type of tire, and
the air pressures as specified. 2 Tire and Wheel Replacement P. 618
Do not continuously spin the front tires of your
vehicle. Continuously spinning the front tires can
cause damage to the transmission and SH-AWD ®
unit.
If the Super Handling-All Wheel Drive
TM (SH-AWD ®)
indicator blinks while driving, it indicates the
differential temperature is too high. If this happens,
pull to the side of the road when it is safe, change the
gear position to
( P, and idle the engine until the
indicator goes out.

uuAcuraWatchTMuLane Keeping Assist System (LKAS)
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 alerts if the ve hicle 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 an
autonomous driving system and always requires
driver attention and control. The system does not
work if you take your hands off the steering wheel or
fail to steer the vehicle. 2 Multi-Information Display Warning and
Information Messages P. 107
The LKAS is convenient when it is used on
expressways or freeways.
Do not place objects on the instrument panel.
Objects may reflect on th e windshield and prevent
correct detection of the traffic lanes.
The LKAS only alerts you when lane drift is detected
without a turn signal in use. 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 may not work properly or may work
improperly under the certain conditions: 2 LKAS Conditions and Limitations P. 527
You can read about handling information for the
camera equipped with this system. 2 Front Sensor Camera P. 541
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 become s stronger as the vehicle gets closer to
either of the lane lines.

Driving
The system can be used when the following conditions are met.
• The lane in which you are driving has dete ctable lane markers on both sides, and
your vehicle is in the center of the lane.
• The vehicle is traveling between about 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 LKAS button.
u LKAS indicator (white) and lane outlines
appear on the multi-information display.
The system is ready to use.
■When the System can be Used1When the System can be Used
If the vehicle drifts toward ei t h e r l ef t o r r ight lane line
due to the system applying torque, turn off the LKAS
and have your vehicle checked by a dealer.

uuAcuraWatchTMuRoad Departure Mitigation System
Driving
Road Departure Mitigation System
Alerts and helps to assist you when the system detects a possibility of your vehicle
unintentionally crossing over detected la ne 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 vehicle 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. 359
As a visual alert, the Lane Departure
message appears on the multi-information
display.
If the system determines that its steering in put 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 when you turn th e steering wheel to avoid
crossing over detected lane markings.
If the system operates several times without detecting driver response, the system
beeps to alert you.
■How the System Works
1 Road Departure Mitigation System
Important Safety Reminder
Like all assistance systems, the Road Departure
Mitigation system has limitations.
Overreliance on the Road Departure Mitigation
system may result in a collision. It is always your
responsibility to keep the ve hicle within your driving
lane.
The Road Departure Mitigation system only alerts you
when lane drift is detected without a turn signal in
use. The Road Departure Mitigation system may not
detect all lane markings or lane or roadway
departures; accuracy will vary based on weather,
speed and lane marker condi tion. It is always your
responsibility to sa fely operate the vehicle and avoid
collisions.
You can read about handling information for the
camera equipped with this system.

The Road Departure Mitigati on system may not work
properly or may work im properly under the certain
conditions: 2 Road Departure Mitigation Conditions and

There are times when you may not notice Road
Departure Mitigation functions due to your operation
of the vehicle, or road surface conditions.
