■Automatic shutoff
The CMBSTM may automatically shut itself o ff 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 pl ant, or a vehicle equipped
with radar.
Once the conditions that caused the CMBS
TM to shut off improve or are addressed
(e.g., cleaning), the system comes back on.

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 or (S.
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, 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. 398
You can read about handling information for the
camera equipped with this system. 2 Front Sensor Camera P. 396
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.
How to use
■Press the button on the
steering wheel.

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.
■To Set the Vehicle Speed1 Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with Low Speed Follow
The radar sensor for ACC with Low Speed Follow is
shared with the collision mitigation braking system
TM
(CMBSTM).

ACC with Low Speed Follow may not work properly
under certain conditions.
2 ACC with Low Speed Follow Conditions
and Limitations P. 350
When not using ACC with Low Speed Follow: Turn
off adaptive cruise by pressing the button.
Do not use ACC with Low Speed Follow under the
following conditions:
•On roads with frequent la ne change or continuous
stop and go traffic, ACC with Low Speed Follow
cannot keep an appropriate distance between your
vehicle and the vehicle ahead of you.
•On roads with sharp turns.
•On roads with toll collection facilities or other
objects between lanes of traffic, or in parking
areas, or faci lities with driv e through access.
•On roads with bad weather (rain, fog, snow, etc.),
ACC with Low Speed Follow may not detect the
