Driving
Traffic Sign Recognition System
Reminds you of road sign information, such as the current speed limit your vehicle
has just passed through, showing it on the gauge and the head-up display*.
When the camera located behind the rear view mirror captures traffic signs while
driving, the system displays the ones that are recognized as designated for your
vehicle. If speed limit warning is activate d, the sign icon blinks when the maximum
speed of the traffic sign detected is exceeded by a threshold, when compared with
the vehicle speed. The sign icon will be displayed until the vehicle reaches a
predetermined time and distance.
If the system does not detect any traffic signs while you are driving, the sign icon will
not be displayed.
■How the System Works
1 Traffic Sign Recognition System
Not all signs may be displa yed, but any signs posted
on roadsides should not be ignored. The system does
not work on the designated traffic signs of all the
countries you travel, nor in all situations.
Do not rely too much on the system. Always drive at
speeds appropriate fo r the road conditions.
Never apply a film or attach any objects to the
windshield that could obstruc t the camera’s field of
vision and cause the system to operate abnormally.
Scratches, nicks, and othe r damage to the windshield
within the camera’s field of vision can cause the
system to operate abnormally. If this occurs, we
recommend that you replace the windshield with a
genuine Honda replacement windshield. Making even
minor repairs within the ca mera’s field of vision or
installing an aftermarket replacement windshield may
also cause the system to operate abnormally. After
replacing the windshi eld, have a dealer recalibrate the
camera. Proper calibration of the camera is necessary
for the system to operate properly.
You can read about handling information for the
camera equipped with this system. 2 Front Sensor Camera P. 479

• The end of speed limit or other designated limit is detected.
• You make a turn with a turn signal at an intersection.

To help reduce the likel ihood that high interior
temperatures will cause the camera’s sensing system
to shut off, when parking, find a shady area or face
the front of the vehicle away from the sun. If you use
a reflective sun shade, do not allow it to cover the
camera housing.
Covering the camera can concentrate heat on it.
The default speed limit wa rning threshold is the
maximum speed of the traffic sign detected.
You can adjust the threshol d for speed limit warning.
2 Customized Features P. 318
The system’s ability to accurately notify the driver of
the speed limit is depend ent on certain conditions
such as the units displayed on the traffic sign as well
as the speed and direction of travel of the vehicle. In
some cases, the system may display false warnings or
other inaccurate information.
2 Traffic Sign Recognition System Conditions
and Limitations P. 475
The unit for speed limits (mph or km/h) varies from
country to country. Just after entering a country
whose unit differs to the one of the country from
which you came, the Traffic Sign Recognition system
may not work correctly. 2 Speed/distance units P. 132
