Quick Reference Guide
AcuraWatchTM (P415)
AcuraWatch
TM 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.

Collision Mitigation
Braking System
TM
(CMBS
TM) (P419)
The system can assist you when it
determines there is a possibility of your
vehicle colliding with a vehicle or a
pedestrian detected in front of your vehicle.
The CMBS
TM 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.
Adaptive Cruise Control
(ACC) with Low Speed
Follow
(P430)
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)
(P449)
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.
Traffic Jam Assist (P 458)
The Traffic Jam Assist system uses a radar
sensor mounted inside the front grille and a
camera mounted to the upper portion of
the windshield to detect and monitor left
and right white (yellow) traffic lane lines as
well as any vehicle ahead. Based on inputs
from the radar sensor and camera, the
system can adjust the speed of your vehicle
to maintain a set interval between your
vehicle and the one detected ahead. It also
can apply steering torque to keep your
vehicle in the center of the detected lane
when you are driving in heavy traffic.

Driving
Super Handling-Al l Wheel DriveTM (SH-AWD®)*
The system controls and trans fers 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
slippery surfaces, such as on wet, icy, or snowy roads, better than when driving with
two wheel drive. However, the system does not help to enhance braking. Be
precautious about the following:
• It is still your responsibility to drive sa fely 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. 561
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 ®)
System indicator blinks whil e 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.

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 al erts if the vehicle 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 a
substitute for your vehicl e control. The system does
not work if you take y our hands off the steering
wheel or fail to steer the vehicle.
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 an d avoid collisions.
The LKAS may not work properly or may work
improperly under the certain conditions: 2 LKAS Conditions and Limitations P. 455
You can read about handling information for the
camera equipped with this system. 2 Front Sensor Camera P. 481
The LKAS may not function as designed while driving
in frequent stop and go traf fic, or on roads with
sharp curves.
■Steering input assist
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 operat ing the turn signals, the LKAS alerts
activate, and torque is applied to the steering.
■Front Sensor
Camera
Monitors the lane
lines
The system applies torque to the steering to keep the vehicle between the left and
right lane lines. The applied torque becomes stronger as the vehicle gets closer to
either of 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.

Driving
Traffic Jam Assist
The Traffic Jam Assist system uses a radar sensor mounted inside the front grille and
a camera mounted to the upper portion of the windshield to detect and monitor left
and right white (yellow) traffic lane line s as well as any vehicle ahead. Based on
inputs from the radar sensor and camera, th e system can adjust the speed of your
vehicle to maintain a set interval betwee n your vehicle and the one detected ahead.
It also can apply steering torque to keep yo ur vehicle in the center of the detected
lane when you are driving in heavy traffic.
■How Traffic Jam Assist works
If you are in heavy traffic and Adaptive Cruise Control with Low Speed Follow is
active, the Traffic Jam Assist system, upon detecting the traffic lane lines and a
vehicle ahead, will apply steering torque to help keep your vehicle in the center of
the lane.
The system adjusts the speed of your vehicl e to maintain a set interval between your
vehicle and the one detected ahead.

3WARNING
Improper reliance on Traffic Jam Assist can
cause a crash resulting in injury or death.
Always maintain full control over your
vehicle even when this system is active. and
only use when on expressways or freeways.
Traffic Jam Assist is not an autonomous
driving system.
3WARNING
Failure to securely park vehicle when
stopped while Adaptive Cruise Control with
Low Speed Follow is active can allow the
vehicle to roll away, resulting in a crash
causing injury or death.
Never stop the vehicle and exit it without
placing it in Park and setting the parking
brake.

Traffic Jam Assist may not always be able to detect
lane division lines or a vehicle traveling ahead.
Depending on weather and road conditions and
other factors, Traffic Jam Assist may not function
normally. Always be awar e of your surroundings and
the road conditions, and conduct yourself in a
manner conducive to safe driv ing. Traffic Jam Assist
may not function properly when you are driving
through a sharp curve or re peatedly accelerating and
decelerating.

■When a vehicle is traveling ahead
When a vehicle ahead of yours is detected entering the Traffic Jam Assist detection
area, Traffic Jam Assist adjusts the speed of your vehicle to maintain the selected
interval between your vehicle and the one ah ead. It also applies steering torque to
keep your vehicle in the ce nter of the detected lane.
■How Traffic Jam Assist Works1How Traffic Jam Assist Works
If your vehicle veers too far to the right or the left of
the white (yellow) traffic lane lines while Traffic Jam
Assist is active, deactivate Traffic Jam Assist and have
your vehicle checked by a dealer.
In some cases the system cannot properly detect the
traffic lane lines and, as a result, will not provide
steering assistance. 2 Traffic Jam Assist: Conditions and
limitations P. 465
If the driver takes his or her hands off the steering
wheel or does not adequate ly maintain control of
steering, the warning below will appear.
If the driver does not grip the steering wheel after the
warning above has repeatedly appeared, a warning
buzzer will sound and Traffi c Jam Assist will be
canceled.
