Honda Sensing® (P551)
Honda Sensing ® is a driver support system 
which employs the use of two distinctly 
different kinds of sensors: the sonar sensors 
located in the front and rear bumpers, and 
the front grille, and a front wide view 
camera mounted to the interior side of the 
windshield, behind the rearview mirror.

The system can assist you when it 
determines 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.

potential collision with a wall or other 
obstacle during normal driving or when the 
accelerator pedal is depressed 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.

Low Speed Braking Control*
Using sonar sensors located on the front an d rear bumpers, and the front grille, this 
system detects if there is danger of a poten tial collision with a wall or other obstacle 
during normal driving or when the accelerator pedal is depres sed 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.
1Low 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 mistaken ly 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 usin g the parking sensor system, the assistive 
braking will not work when reversing.

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 chassis dynamometer, 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.

■Assistive driving power suppression
When the vehicle is stopped or moving at less than 6 mph (10 km/h) and there is an 
obstacle such as a wall detected near the front of or back of the vehicle, if the 
accelerator pedal is depressed more than necessary, the system wi ll inform you with 
a visual and audible alert. At the same ti me, the system will prevent sudden forward 
or backwards movement by limiting the output of the engine, then assistive braking 
will activate when you ge t closer to the obstacle.
Assistive driving power suppression will not activate in the fo llowing situations.
When moving forward:
When on a steep slope or  the shift position is in

When reversing:
