Honda Sensing® (P 492)
Honda Sensing ® is a driver support system 
which employs the use of three distinctly 
different kinds of sensors: a radar sensor 
located behind the Honda emblem on the 
front grille, a front sensor camera mounted 
to the interior side of the windshield, 
behind the rearview mirror, and the sonar 
sensors located in the front and rear 
bumpers.

Collision Mitigation 
Braking System
TM 
(CMBS
TM) (P 495)
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.
Low Speed Braking 
Control
* (P 507)
Using sonar sensors located on the front and 
rear bumpers, this system can detect if there 
is danger of a 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.

Check the following items before you start driving.
• Make sure there are no obstructions on the windows, door mirrors, exterior 
lights, or other parts of the vehicle.
u Remove any frost, snow, or ice.
u Remove any snow on the roof, as this can slip down and obstruct your field of 
vision while driving. If frozen solid , remove ice once it has softened.
u When removing ice from around the wheels,  be sure not to damage the wheel 
or wheel components.
• Make sure the hood is securely closed.
u If the hood opens while driving, your front view will be blocked.

NOTICE
When doors are frozen s hut, use warm water around 
the door edges to melt any ice. Do not try to force 
them open, as this can damage the rubber trim 
around the doors. When done, wipe dry to avoid 
further freezing.
Do not pour warm water  into the key cylinder.
You will be unable to insert the key if the water 
freezes in the hole.
Heat from the engine  and exhaust can ignite 
flammable material s left under the hood, causing a 
fire. If you've parked y our vehicle for an extended 
period, inspect and remove  any debris that may have 
collected, such as dried grass and leaves that have 
fallen or have been carried  in for use as a nest by a 
small animal. Also, check under the hood for leftover 
flammable materials after  you or someone else has 
performed maintenance on your vehicle.
