uuBefore Driving uDriving Preparation
Driving
• Be sure items placed on the floor behind the front seats cannot roll under the
seats.
u They can interfere with the driver's ability to operate the pedals, the operation
of the seats, or the operation of the sensors under the seats.
• Everyone in the vehicle must fasten their seat belt.
2Fastening a Seat Belt P. 53
•Make sure that the indicators in the in strument panel come on when you start the
vehicle, and go off soon after.
u Always have a dealer check the vehicle if a problem is indicated.

uuWhen Driving uBlind Spot Information System*
Continued
Driving
Blind Spot Information System*
When the system detects vehicles approach ing from behind in adjacent lanes, the
appropriate indicator comes on, providin g assistance when you change lanes.
The system activates when your vehicle is moving forward at about 20 mph (32 km/h)
or above.
Alert zone range
A: Approx. 1.6 ~ 10 feet (0.5 ~ 3 meters) from vehicle side.
B: Approx. 10 feet (3 meters) from rear bumper.
C: Approx. 10 ~ 82 feet (3 ~ 25 meters) behind from rear bumper. (The faster the
approaching vehicle, the further away it will be detected.)
The initially set alert zone is alert zone 1. Over time, after the vehicle has been driven
on straight roads with traffic and roadside objects, the system will adapt and expand
the alert zone (alert zone 1 and 2).
■How the System works
1 Blind Spot Information System*
Important Safety Reminder
Like all assistance systems, the blind spot information
system has limitations. Always look in your mirrors, to
either side of your vehicle, and behind you for other
vehicles before changing la nes. Overreliance on the
blind spot information sy stem may result in a
collision.
Have your vehicle checked by a dealer in the
following situations:
•The rear bumper or area around the radar sensors
is strongly impacted.
•The indicator does not come on even if a vehicle in
the alert zone should have been detected.
•The rear bumper or any system components need
to be repaired.
If the rear bumper or any system components are
repaired, the system will re vert to alert zone 1 only
until it is able to adapt and expand to alert zone 1
and 2.
Radar Sensors: underneath the
rear bumper corners : Alert Zone 1
A BC : Alert Zone 2

Driving
■When the system detects a vehicle
Blind spot information system alert indicator:
Located on the outside rearview mirror on
both sides.
Comes on when:
•A vehicle approaches you from behind to
overtake you at a speed difference of no
more than about 31 mph (50 km/h).
• You pass a vehicle at a speed difference of
no more than abou t 12 mph (20 km/h).
Blinks and a beeper sounds when:
You use the turn signal lever to signal a turn in
the direction of the detected vehicle while the
blind spot information system alert indicator is
on. u The beeper sounds three times.1Blind Spot Information System*
For proper blind spot information system operation:•Always keep the rear bumper and area around the
radar sensors clean.
•Do not cover the rear bumper corner area with
labels or sticke rs of any kind.
The system is for your convenience only. Even if an
object is within the alert zone, the following
situations may occur:
•The blind spot informatio n system alert indicator
does not come on and the message Blind spot
information system not available appears on
the driver information interface.
•The blind spot informatio n system alert indicator
may come on even with the message displayed.
The Vehicle Stability Assist
TM (VSA ®) system, Vehicle
Stability AssistTM (VSA ®) OFF*, Adaptive Cruise
Control (ACC)*, Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with
Low Speed Follow*, low tire pressure/TPMS* and
safety support indicators may come on in amber
along with a message in the gauge when you set the
power mode to ON after reconnecting the battery.
Drive a short distance at more than 12 mph
(20 km/h).
Each indicator should go off. If any do not, have your
vehicle checked by a dealer.

uuWhen Driving uBlind Spot Information System*
Driving
The blind spot information system alert indicator may not come on under the
following conditions:
• There is a large speed difference betwee n your vehicle and the vehicle in the
adjacent lane.
• A vehicle is parked in a side lane.
• An object not detected by the radar sensors approaches or passes your vehicle.
• The vehicle driving in the adjacent lane is a motorcycle or other small vehicle.
The blind spot information system may not operate correctly under the following
conditions:
• Making a turn at an intersection.
• Objects (guard rails, poles, trees, etc.) are detected.
• An object that does not reflect radio wave s well or a motorcycle, is in the alert
zone.
• Driving on a curved road.
• A vehicle is moving from a far lane to the adjacent lane.
• The system picks up signal interference such as other radar sensors from another
vehicle or strong radio wave transmitted from a facility nearby.
• The rear bumper or the area around the radar sensors is covered by dirt, mud,
snow, ice, etc.
• The rear bumper or the area around the radar sensors has been damaged or
deformed.
• In bad weather (heavy rain, snow, and fog).
• Making a short turn or driving on a bumpy road that slightly tilts the vehicle.
• An object such as a bicycle rack is attached to the rear of the vehicle.

Honda Sensing®
Honda Sensing® is a driver support system which employs the use of two distinctly
different kinds of sensors: the sonar sens ors 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 has three alert stages for a possible collision. However, depending on circumstances, the CMBSTM may not go through all of
the stages before initiating the last stage.
