uuHonda Sensing ®u Road Departure Mitigation System
Driving
The system cancels assisting operations wh en you turn the steering wheel to avoid
crossing over detected lane markings or approaching the outer edge of the
pavement (into grass or gravel border) or an oncoming vehicle.
If the system operates several times with out detecting driver response, the system
beeps to alert you.1 Road Departure Mitigation System
There are times when you may not notice the Road
Departure Mitigation system functions due to your
operation of the vehicle, or road surface conditions.
You can change the settin gs for the Road Departure
Mitigation system.
If LKAS is off, the message below may appear if the
system has determined that there is a possibility of
your vehicle crossing over detected lane markings,
the outer edge of the pa vement (into a grass or
gravel border) or oncoming vehicle.

uuHonda Sensing ®u Road Departure Mitigation System
Driving
The system may not properly detect lane markings (in white or yellow), the outer
edge of the pavement (into grass or grav el border) or an oncoming vehicle under
certain conditions. Some examples of these conditions are listed below.
■Environmental conditions
• There is little contrast between la ne lines and the roadway surface.
• Driving in bad weather (rain, fog, snow, etc.).
• Driving on a snowy or wet roadway.
• Driving into low sunlight (e.g., at dawn or dusk).
• Shadows of adjacent objects (trees, build ings, guard rails, vehicles, etc.) are
parallel to white (or yellow) lines.
• Sudden changes between light and dark, such as the entrance or exit of a tunnel
or the shadows of trees, buildings, etc.
• Strong light is reflected onto the roadway.
• Driving at night or in a dark place such as a tunnel (due to low-light conditions,
lane lines, the road surface, or oncoming vehicles may not be illuminated).
• The distance between your ve hicle and the vehicle ahead of you is too short, and
lane lines and the road surface are not visible.
• The outer edge of the road is bordered by objects, materials, etc. other than grass
or gravel.

Driving
■Roadway conditions
• Driving on a road with temporary lane markings.
• Faint, multiple, or varied lane markings are visible on the roadway due to road
repairs or old lane markings.
• The roadway has merging, split, or crossi ng lines, such as at an intersection or
crosswalk.
• The lane markings are extremely narrow, wide, or changing.
• Part of the lane markings are hidden by an object, such as a vehicle.
• The road is hilly or the vehicle is approaching the crest of a hill.
• Your vehicle is strongly shaken on uneven road surfaces.
• When objects on the road (curb, guard rail, pylons, etc.) are recognized as white
(or yellow) lines.
• Driving on rough or unpaved roads, or over bumpy surfaces.
• Driving on roads with double lane lines.
• Driving on snowy or slippery roads.
• Passing through an exit or an intersection.
• The pavement is only partially visible due to snow or puddles on the road.
• Driving on unpaved or rutted roads.
• White (or yellow) lines are not recognized correctly due to road conditions such as
curves, twists, or hills.

■Vehicle conditions
• When lighting is weak due to dirt covering the headlight lenses, or there is poor
visibility in a dark place due to th e headlights being improperly adjusted.
• The front of the camera is covered by dirt, fog, rain, mud, wet snow, seals,
accessories, stickers, or film on the windshield.
• Driving at night or in a dark place (e .g., a tunnel) with the headlights off.
• When the driver operates the brake pedal and steering wheel.
• There is residue on the windshie ld from the windshield wipers.
• An abnormal tire or wheel condition (incorre ct sizes, varied sizes or construction,
improperly inflated, comp act spare tire, etc.).
• The vehicle is tilted due to heavy load in the trunk or rear seats.
• Tire chains are installed.
• The suspension has been modified.
■Examples of limitations on detectio n due to the condition of oncoming
vehicles
• The oncoming vehicle or vehicle ahead of you is sideways.
• The oncoming vehicle jumps out in front of you.
• When the oncoming vehicle blends in with the background, preventing the
system from recognizing it.
• The headlights of an oncoming vehicle are lit on one side or not lit on either side
in a dark place.
• The distance between your vehicle and the oncoming vehicle is too short.
• Part of the oncoming vehicle is not vi sible due to the vehicle ahead of you.
• There are multiple oncoming lanes or turning lanes.
• The vehicle in the adjacent lane is parked or moving at an extremely slow speed.

■Examples of other limitations on detection or system operation
• When the oncoming vehicl e is specially-shaped.
• When the camera cannot correctly iden tify the shape of the oncoming vehicle.
■With Little Chance of a Collision
The Road Departure Mitigation system may activate in the below conditions.
• When driving through curves, your vehicle comes to a point where an oncoming
vehicle is right in front of you.

uuHonda Sensing ®u Traffic Sign Recognition System
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.
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 warn ing is activated, the sign icon blinks when the maximum
speed of the traffic sign detected is exceed ed 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.
The sign icon also may switch to another one, or disappear when:
• The end of speed limit or other designated limit is detected.
• You make a turn with a turn signal at an intersection.
■How the System Works
1Traffic 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 windshield, have a dealer recalibrate the
camera. Proper calibration of the camera is necessary
for the system to operate properly.
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.
