Driving
■Automatic shutoff
The CMBSTM may automatically shut itself off and the safety support indicator
(amber) comes and stays on when:
• You drive off-road or on a mountain road, or curved and winding road for an
extended period.
• Driving in bad weather (rain, fog, snow, etc.).
• Driving with the parking brake applied.
• The camera temperature gets too high.
• The radar sensor temperature gets too high.
• The front of the camera or radar sensor behind the Honda emblem is covered by
dirt, fog, rain, mud, wet snow, seals, accessories, stickers, or film on the
windshield.
• An abnormal tire condition is detected (incorrect tire size, flat tire, etc.).
• You are driving near an object or plac e that generates strong radio waves or
noise, such as a TV tower, broadcast station, power plant, or a vehicle equipped
with radar.
Once the conditions th at caused the CMBS
TM to shut off improve or are addressed
(e.g., cleaning), the system comes back on.

uuHonda Sensing ®u Low Speed Braking Control*
Driving
Low Speed Braking Control*
Using sonar sensors located on the front and rear bumpers, this system can detect if
there is danger of a potential collision with a wall or other obstacle during normal
driving or when the accelerator pedal is de pressed 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.1 Low Speed Braking Control*
If the Low Speed Braking Control activates in a
situation where you do not want automatic brake
application (such as when the vehicle is between two
railroad crossing gates), si mply press the brake pedal
to deactivate the system and then continue to drive
as intended.
3WARNING
The Low Speed Braking Control System
cannot avoid all collisions and may not
reduce damage in each situation where the
accelerator is mistake nly or aggressively
pressed. Overreliance on the system may
result in a collision with serious injury or
death. Always check your surroundings,
your shift position, and your pedal use.
Driver remains responsible for safely
operating the vehicle.

■Assistive braking
Assistive braking provides a visual and audible alert when the vehicle is moving
between approximately 1 and 6 mph (2 and 10 km/h) and there is the possibility of
a collision with a detected wall or other ob stacles, as well as providing assistance
with braking.
If the only rear sensors are turned off usi ng the parking sensor system, the assistive
braking will not work when reversing.

sensors, please refer to the following page.

The vehicle will release the brake and start moving a
few seconds after the system is activated. To keep the
vehicle stopped, keep the brake pedal depressed or
put the transmission into

In order to prevent the sy stem from activating when
not needed, always turn it off during vehicle
maintenance, when loading on ships, trucks, and so
on, or when using a chas sis dynamometer or free
rollers for inspection or when washing the car in
conveyor type car wash machine.
If you put any accessories (such as a bicycle rack) on
or around the rear sensors, the Low Speed Braking
Control System may activate if it detects these
accessories as an obstacle. In this case, turn off the
rear sensor.

Driving
Conditions for assistive driving power suppression:
• When the accelerator is no longer depressed.
• When the accelerator is depresse d for approximately four seconds.
• When the brake pedal is depressed.
Conditions for assistive braking cancellation:
• A certain amount of time ha s passed since activation.
The system may not operate correctly under the following conditions:
■Examples of obstacles the sonar sensors cannot detect
• Obstacles that do not refl ect sound waves well, such as people, snow, cloth,
sponges, etc.
• Thin obstacles such as fences, bicycles, sign posts, etc.
• Short or small obstacles.
• Obstacles immediately in front of the bumper.
• Moving objects or obstacles that suddenly enter the road.
• Obstacles that are not pe rpendicular to the ground.
■Conditions for Cancellation
■Low Speed Braking Control System Conditions and
Limitations
1 Conditions for Cancellation
After Low Speed Braking Control has activated once,
it will not activate again for the same obstacle.
They can be activated again after driving for a certain
distance after last activation.
Low Speed Braking Control ac tivates separately when
moving forward and reversing. (For example, if it
activates when moving forwar d, it can be activated
again immediately if reversing.)
However, if assistive braking has been activated, in
order to activate assistiv e driving power suppression
again, it is necessary to drive for a certain distance to
reset the system.

Driving
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with Low Speed
Follow
Helps maintain a constant vehicle speed a nd a set following-interval behind a vehicle
detected ahead of yours and, if the detect ed vehicle comes to a stop, can decelerate
and stop your vehicle, without you having to keep your foot on the brake or the
accelerator.
When ACC with Low Speed Follow slows y our vehicle by applying the brakes, your
vehicle’s brake lights will illuminate.
1 Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with Low Speed Follow
3WARNING
Improper use of ACC with Low Speed
Follow can lead to a crash.
Use ACC with Low Speed Follow only when
driving on expressways or freeways and in
good road and weather conditions.
3WARNING
ACC with Low Speed Follow has limited
braking capability and may not stop your
vehicle in time to avoid a collision with a
vehicle that quickly stops in front of you.
Always be prepared to apply the brake
pedal if the conditions require.
When to use
■Vehicle speed for ACC wi th Low Speed Follow: A vehicle is detected ahead
within ACC with Low Speed Follow range – ACC with Low Speed Follow
operates at speeds up to 90 mph (145 km/h).
No vehicle is detected within ACC with Low Speed Follow range – ACC with
Low Speed Follow operates at the speed of 25 mph (40 km/h) or above.
■Shift position for ACC with Low Speed Follow: In ( D.
A front sensor
camera is located
behind the
rearview mirror.
The radar sensor is
behind the Honda
emblem on the
front grille.

■How to activate the system1Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with Low Speed Follow
Important Reminder
As with any system, there are limits to ACC with Low
Speed Follow. Use the brake pedal whenever
necessary, and always keep a safe interval between
your vehicle and other vehicles.
While in ECON mode, or when you have selected
ECON for ACC in the INDIVIDUAL Settings screen,
it may take relatively more time to accelerate to
maintain the set speed.
For directions on the prop er handling of the radar
sensor, refer to the following page. 2 Radar Sensor P. 481
3WARNING
Exiting a vehicle that has been stopped
while the ACC with Low Speed Follow
system is operating can result in the vehicle
moving without operator control.
A vehicle that moves without operator
control can cause a crash, resulting in
serious injury or death.
Never exit a vehicle when the vehicle is
stopped by ACC with Low Speed Follow.

DrivingWhen driving at about 25 mph (40 km/h) or above: Take your foot off the
pedal and press the RES/+/SET/− switch up or down when you reach the desired
speed. The moment you release the switch, the set speed is fixed, and ACC with
Low Speed Follow begins.
When you use ACC with Low Speed Follow, Stra ight Driving Assist (a feature of the
Electric Power Steering system) is activated.
By enabling the steering system to automa tically compensate for natural steering
pull, Straight Driving Assist makes it easier for you to keep your vehicle in a straight
line.
When driving slower than about 25 mph (40 km/h): If the vehicle is moving
and the brake pedal is not depressed, pres sing the switch fixes the set speed to
about 25 mph (40 km/h) regardless of current vehicle speed. If your vehicle is
stationary, you can set the vehicle speed even with the brake pedal depressed.
