maintain the vehicle speed when driving
downhill. u The Hill Descent Control System indicator
(green) comes on when operating.
■To adjust the set speed
Depress the accelerator pedal or brake pedal
to adjust the vehicl e speed within the
operating range. The vehicle speed at which
you release the accelerator pedal or brake
pedal will be the set speed.
■To turn the system off
Press the button to turn the system off.

Driving
Vehicle Stability AssistTM (VSA ®), aka Electronic
Stability Control (ESC), System
VSA ® helps to stabilize the vehicle during cornering if the vehicle turns more or less
than what was intended. It also assists in maintaining traction on slippery surfaces.
It does so by regulating engine output and select ively applying the brakes.
When VSA ® activates, you may notice that the
engine does not respond to the accelerator.
You may also notice some noise from the
hydraulic brake system. You will also see the
indicator blink.
■VSA ® Operation
1 Vehicle Stability AssistTM (VSA ®), aka Electronic Stability Control
(ESC), System
The VSA ® may not function properl y if tire type and
size are mixed. Make sure to use the same size and
type of tire, and the air pressures as specified.
When the VSA ® system indicator comes on and stays
on while driving, there ma y be a problem with the
system. While this may not interfere with normal
driving, have your vehi cle checked by a dealer
immediately.
VSA ® cannot enhance stability in all driving situations
and does not control the entire braking system. You
still need to drive and corner at speeds appropriate
for the conditions and always leave a sufficient
margin of safety.
The main function of the VSA ® system is generally
known as Electronic Stability Control (ESC). The
system also includes a traction control function.

corner at speeds appropriate for the conditions and
always leave a sufficient margin of safety.
When the VSA ® system indicator comes on and stays

activate.
You may hear a sound coming from the engine
compartment while the agile handling assist is
activated. This is normal.

Continued
Driving
The CMBSTM will be canceled when your vehicle stops or the system determines
there no longer is the potential for a collision.
The CMBS
TM may also be canceled when a dr iver operates the steering wheel and
the brake or accelerator pe dal to avoid a collision.
■When the system activates
The system provides visual and audible alerts
of a possible collision, and stops if the collision
is avoided. u Take appropriate action to prevent a
collision (apply the brakes, change lanes,
etc.)
You can change the distance ( Long/Normal /Short ) between vehicles at which the
system’s earliest collision alert will come on.

Driving
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with Low Speed Follow
Helps maintain a constant vehicle speed and a set following-interval behind a vehicle
detected ahead of yours and, if the detect ed vehicle comes to a stop, can decelerate
and stop your ve hicle, without you having to keep your foot on the brake or the
accelerator.
When ACC with Low Speed Follo w slows your vehicle by applying the brakes, your
vehicle’s brake lights will illuminate.
• Vehicle speed for ACC wi th Low Speed Follow: A vehicle is detected ahead
within ACC with Low Speed Follow range – ACC with Low Speed Follow
operates at speeds up to 90 mph (145 km/h).
No vehicle is detected within ACC with Low Speed Follow range – ACC
with Low Speed Follow operates at th e speed of 25 mph (40 km/h) or above.

1Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with Low Speed Follow
3WARNING
Improper use of ACC with Low Speed
Follow can lead to a crash.
Use ACC with Low Speed Follow only
when driving on expressways or freeways
and in good road and weather conditions.
3WARNING
ACC with Low Speed Follow has limited
braking capability and may not stop your
vehicle in time to avoid a collision with a
vehicle that quickly stops in front of you.
Always be prepared to apply the brake
pedal if the conditions require.
When to use
A front wide view camera is
located behind the rearview
mirror.

uuHonda Sensing ®u Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with Low Speed Follow
Driving
■There is no vehicle ahead
Your vehicle maintains the set speed without
having to keep your foot on the brake or
accelerator pedal.
If there previously was a vehicle detected
ahead that kept your ve hicle from traveling at
the set speed, ACC with Low Speed Follow
accelerates your vehicle to the set speed, and
then maintains it.
On steep downhill during ACC with Low
Speed Follow, it brakes to inhibit excessive
acceleration for maintaining the set speed.
However, the vehicle speed may become
faster than the set speed.
■When you depress the accelerator pedal
You can temporarily increase the vehicle speed . In this case, there is no audible or
visual alert even if a vehicle is in the ACC with Low Speed Follow range.
ACC with Low Speed Follow stays on unle ss you cancel it. Once you release the
accelerator pedal, the system resume s an appropriate speed for keeping the
following-interval while a vehicle ahead is within the ACC with Low Speed Follow
range.
1 When in Operation
•ACC with Low Speed Follow may temporarily
control the interval between your vehicle and the
vehicle in adjacent lane or surroundings of your
vehicle depending on the road conditions (e.g.
curves) or vehicle condi tions (e.g. operating the
steering wheel or the vehicle location in the lane).
•When the vehicle ahead of you moves away, such
as when entering an interchange or rest area, ACC
with Low Speed Follow may continue to maintain
the set following-interval for a short time.
A vehicle icon with line contour
appears on the gauge.

■Automatic cancellation
The beeper sounds and a message appears on the driver information interface when
ACC with Low Speed Follow is automatically canceled. Any of these conditions may
cause the ACC with Low Speed Fo llow to automatically cancel:
• Bad weather (rain, fog, snow, etc.)
• The vehicle ahead of yo u cannot be detected.
• An abnormal tire condition is detected, or the tires are skidding.
• Driving on a mountainous road, or driving off road for extended periods.
• Abrupt steering wheel movement.
• When the ABS, VSA ®, CMBS
TM, or Low Speed Braking Control* is activated.
• When the VSA ® system indicator comes on.
• When the vehicle is stopped on a very steep slope.
• When you manually apply the parking brake.
• Water is sprayed by or snow blown from a vehicle ahead.
• Driving into low sunlight (e.g., at dawn or dusk).
• When the detected vehicle within the AC C with Low Speed Follow range is too
close to your vehicle.
• When accelerating rapidly.
• The front of the camera is covered by dirt, fog, rain, mud, wet snow, seals,
accessories, stickers, or film on the windshield.
• The vehicle is loaded heavy load in the carg o area or rear seats.
• When passing through a dark place, such as tunnel.
• When the parking brake and brake system indicator (amber) comes on.
• The vehicle has repeatedly applied the brakes to maintain the set speed (for
example, you are descending a long slope).
• When the system doesn't detect any drivi ng actions from the driver for a certain
amount of time while the LKAS is also activated.
The ACC with Low Speed Follow automatic ca ncellation can be also triggered by the
following causes. In these cases, the parking brake will be automatically applied.
