Honda Sensing®
Honda Sensing® is a driver support system which employs the use of two distinctly
different kinds of sensors: a radar sensor located behind the Honda emblem on the
front grille and a front sensor camera moun ted to the interior side of the windshield
behind the rearview mirror.
Honda Sensing ® has the following functions.

Driving
Collision Mitigati on Braking SystemTM (CMBSTM)
The system can assist you when it determine s there is a possibility of your vehicle
colliding with a vehicle (including motorcycles) 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.
1 Collision Mitigation Braking SystemTM (CMBSTM)
Important Safety Reminder
The CMBS
TM is designed to reduce the severity of an
unavoidable collision. It does not prevent collisions
nor stop the vehicle automati cally. It is still your
responsibility to operate th e brake pedal and steering
wheel appropriately acco rding to the driving
conditions.
The CMBS
TM may not activate or may not detect a
vehicle in front of y our vehicle under certain
conditions:
2 CMBS
TM Conditions and Limitations P. 335
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
When the CMBS
TM is activated, it will continue to
operate even if the accele rator pedal is partially
depressed. However, it w ill be canceled if the
accelerator pedal is fully depressed.

■How the system works
The CMBS
TM will be canceled when your vehicle stops or the system determines
there no longer is the potential for a collision.
The CMBS
TM may also be canceled when a dr iver operates the steering wheel and
the brake or accelerator pe dal to avoid a collision.
1How the system works
The camera in the CMBS
TM is also designed to detect
pedestrians.
However, this pedestrian detection feature may not
activate or may not detect a pedestrian in front of
your vehicle under certain conditions.
Refer to the ones indicating the pedestrian detection
limitations from the list. 2 CMBS
TM Conditions and Limitations P. 335
A front sensor
camera is located
behind the
rearview mirror.
The system starts monitoring the roadway ah ead when your vehicle speed is about
3 mph (5 km/h) or above and will search for a vehicle, pedestrian, or moving bicycle
in front of you.
The CMBS
TM activates when:●The speed difference between your vehicle and a vehicle, pedestrian, or moving
bicycle detected in front of you becomes about 3 mph (5 km/h) and over with a
chance of a collision.
●Your vehicle drives at about 18 mph (30 km/h) or less and there is a chance of a
frontal collision with a detected oncoming vehicle when you turn left at an
intersection.
●Your vehicle speed is about 62 mph (100 km/h) or less and the system determines
there is a chance of a collision with:
- An oncoming or stationary vehicle detected in front of you.
- A pedestrian or moving bicycle detected in front of you.
When to use
The radar sensor is
behind the Honda
emblem on the
front grille.

■When the system activates
You can change the distance ( Long/Normal /Short ) between vehicles at which the
system’s earliest collision alert will come on through the driver information interface
setting options.
2 Vehicle Settings P. 126
The system provides visual and audible alerts of a possible collisi on, and stops if the
collision is avoided.

The system has three alert stages for a possible collis ion. However, depending on circumstances, the CMBSTM may not go through all of
the stages before initiating the last stage.
