Event Data Recorders
This vehicle is equipped with an event data recorder (EDR).
The main purpose of an EDR is to record, in certain crash or near
crash-like situations, such as an air bag deployment or hitting a
road obstacle, data that will assist in understanding how a vehicle’s
systems performed. The EDR is designed to record data related
to vehicle dynamics and safety systems for a short period of
time, typically 30 seconds or less. The EDR in this vehicle is
designed to record such data as:
• How various systems in your vehicle were operating;
• Whether or not the driver and passenger safety belts were
buckled/fastened;
• How far (if at all) the driver was depressing the accelerator
and/or brake pedal; and,
• How fast the vehicle was traveling.
These data can help provide a better understanding of the
circumstances in which crashes and injuries occur. NOTE: EDR data
are recorded by your vehicle only if a non-trivial crash situation
occurs; no data are recorded by the EDR under normal driving
conditions and no personal data (e.g., name, gender, age, and
crash location) are recorded. Howeve r, other parties, such as law
enforcement, could co mbine the EDR data with the type of
personally identifying data routinely acquired during a crash
investigation.
To read data recorded by an ED R, special equipment is required,
and access to the vehicle or the EDR is needed. In addition to the
vehicle manufacturer, other parties, such as law enforcement, that
have the special equipment, can re ad the information if they have
access to the vehicle or the EDR.

The data belongs to the vehicle owner and may not be accessed by
anyone else except as legally required or with the permission of the
vehicle owner.
Service Diagnostic Recorders
This vehicle is equipped with se rvice-related devices that record
information about powertrain perfo rmance. The data can be used
to verify emissions law requirem ents and/or help technicians
diagnose and solve service problems . It may also be combined with
data from other sources for research purposes, but it remains
confidential. Some diagnostic and maintenance information is
uploaded to Honda upon vehicle start up.
Vehicle Data Recordings
This vehicle records the following information as data when the
Collision Mitigation Braking SystemTM (CMBSTM) is operated. ●
Op
erational status of each function of the CMBS TM
● Accelerator /

● Vehicle speed
● Information such as distance and relative speed of the target

Disclosure of data
Honda will not disclose or provide the acquired data to third parties
with data recorded by CMBS
TM except in the following cases: ●

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.

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.
* Not available on all models
