Driving
■Automatic shutoff
The CMBSTM may automatically shut itself off and the safety support indicator
(amber) comes and stays on when:
• You drive off-road or on a mountain ro ad, or curved and winding road for an
extended period.
• Driving in bad weather (rain, fog, snow, etc.).
• Driving with the parking brake applied.
• The camera temperature gets too high.
• The front of the camera or radar sensor behind the Honda emblem is covered by
dirt, fog, rain, mud, wet snow, seals, accessories, stickers, or film on the
windshield.
• An abnormal tire condition is detected (i ncorrect tire size, flat tire, etc.).
Once the conditions that caused the CMBS
TM to shut off improv e or are addressed
(e.g., cleaning), the system comes back on.

Even if there is little chance of a collision, the CMBSTM may activate under the
following conditions.
Also, the system may activate if it detects a possibility of collision with pedestrians,
moving bicycles, or vehicles.
• Your vehicle approaches or passes anothe r vehicle that is making a left or right
turn.
• Your vehicle approaches another vehicle ahead of you and you change lanes to
pass.
■With Little Chance of a Collision

• When your vehicle approaches vehicles , pedestrians, or moving bicycles.
• When vehicles, pedestrians, or moving bicycles are passing in front of you.
• When you drive under a low structure or through a narrow gate at high speed.
• When there are traffic signs or structures such as guard rails are beside the road
along a curve.
• When driving through curves, your vehicle comes to a point where the oncoming
vehicle is right in front of you.
• When approaching stationary vehicles or walls, such as when parking.

Low Speed Braking Control*
Using sonar sensors located on the front and r ear 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.1 Low 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), simply 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 mistakenly 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 obstacles, as well as providing assistance
with braking.
If the only rear sensors are turned off using the parking sensor system, the assistive
braking will not work when reversing.

sensors, please refer to the following page.

The vehicle will release the brake and start moving a
few seconds after the system is activated. To keep the
vehicle stopped, keep the brake pedal depressed or
put the transmission into

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 chas sis dynamometer or free
rollers for inspection or when washing the car in
conveyor type car wash machine.
If you put any accessories on or around the rear
sensors, the Low Speed Br aking Control System may
activate if it detects these accessories as an obstacle.
In this case, turn off the rear sensor. 2 Customized Features P. 376Audible Alert

■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 near the front of or back of the vehicle, if the accelerator
pedal is depressed more than necessary, the system will inform you with a visual and
audible alert. At the same time, the sy stem will prevent sudden forward or
backwards movement by limiting the outpu t of the power system, then assistive
braking will activate when you get closer to the obstacle.
Assistive driving power suppression will not activate in the following situations.
When moving forward:
• When on a steep slope or the shift position is in
(P, (R, or (N.
When reversing:
• When on a steep slope or the shift position is in a position other than
(R.
If the only rear sensors are turned off usi ng the parking sensor system, the assistive
driving power suppression will not work when reversing.

The system is turned on every time you turn the power system on, even if you turned
it off the last time you drove the vehicle.
■System On and Off 1System On and Off
The Low Speed Braking Control system may
temporarily turn off after reconnecting the battery.
The system will automatically turn ON after the
vehicle has been moving at over 12 mph (20 km/h)
for some time.
If the system does not turn on, have your vehicle
checked by a dealer.

Conditions for assistive driving power suppression.
• When the accelerator is no longer depressed.
• When the accelerator is depresse d for approximately four seconds.
• When the brake pedal is depressed.
Conditions for assistive braking cancellation.
• A certain amount of time has passed since activation.
The system may not operate correctly under the following conditions:
■Examples of obstacles the sonar sensors cannot detect
• Obstacles that do not reflect sound waves well, such as people, snow, cloth,
sponges, etc.
• Thin obstacles such as fenc es, bicycles, sign posts, etc.
• Short or small obstacles.
• Obstacles immediately in front of the bumper.
• Obstacles that are not perp endicular to the ground.
• Moving objects or obstacles that suddenly enter the road.
■Conditions for Cancellation
■Low Speed Braking Control System Conditions and Limitations
1Conditions for Cancellation
After Low Speed Braking Control has activated once,
it will not activate again for the same obstacle.
They can be activated again after driving for a certain
distance after last activation.
Low Speed Braking Control ac tivates separately when
moving forward and reversing. (For example, if it
activates when moving forwar d, it can be activated
again immediately if reversing.)
However, if assistive braking has been activated, in
order to activate assistiv e driving power suppression
again, it is necessary to drive for a certain distance to
reset the system.
