Quick Reference Guide
Honda Sensing® (P 473)
Honda Sensing ® is a driver support system
which employs the use of two distinctly
different kinds of sens ors: the sonar sensors
located in the front and rear bumper and a
front wide view camera mounted to the
interior side of the windshield, behind the
rearview mirror.

Front Wide View
Camera The camera is located

Sonar Sensors*
Collision Mitigation
Braking System
TM
(CMBS
TM) (P 476)
The system can assist you when it
determines there is a possibility of your
vehicle colliding with a vehicle ahead from
behind, an oncoming vehicle in front, a
pedestrian, or someone riding a bicycle
(moving bicycle). The CMBS
TM is designed to
alert you when the potential for a collision
is determined, as well as assist in reducing
speed, avoiding collisions, and reducing
collision severity.
Low Speed Braking
Control
* (P488)
Using sonar sensors located on the front and
rear bumpers, this system detects if there is
danger of a potential collision with a wall or
other obstacle during normal driving or
when the accelerator pedal is depressed
with too much force. The system then assists
in avoiding collisions and reducing damage
from impact through assistive braking and/
or assistive driving power suppression.
Adaptive Cruise Control
(ACC) with Low Speed
Follow
(P494)
Helps maintain a constant vehicle speed and
a set following-interval behind a vehicle
detected ahead of yours and, if the detected
vehicle comes to a stop, can decelerate and
stop your vehicle, without you having to
keep your foot on the brake or the
accelerator.
Lane Keeping Assist
System (LKAS)
(P 516)
Provides steering input to help keep the
vehicle in the middle of a detected lane and
provides tactile and visual alerts if the
vehicle is detected drifting out of its lane.
