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.

Honda Sensing®
Honda Sensing® is a driver support system which employs the use of two distinctly
different kinds of sensors: a radar sensor located inside the front grille and a front
sensor camera mounted to the interior side of the windshield, behind the rearview
mirror.
Honda Sensing ® has following functions.
■The functions which do not requir e switch operations to activate
• Collision Mitigation Braking SystemTM (CMBSTM) 2 P. 512
• Road Departure Mitigation (RDM) System 2 P. 548
• Traffic Sign Recognition System 2 P. 553
■The functions wh ich require switch operations to activate
• Adaptive Cruise Control ( ACC) with Low Speed Follow

uuHonda Sensing ®u Collision Mitigation Braking SystemTM (CMBSTM)
Driving
■How the System Works1How the System Works
When the CMBS
TM activates, it may automatically
apply the brake. It will be canceled when your vehicle
stops or a potential coll ision is not determined.When to use
The camera is
located behind
the rearview
mirror.
The radar sensor is
in the front grille.
The system starts monitoring the roadway ahead when your vehicle speed is about
3 mph (5 km/h) or above and will search for a vehicle in front of you.
The CMBS
TM activates when:●The speed difference between your vehicle and a vehicle or pedestrian detected in
front of you becomes about 3 mph (5 km/h) and over with a chance of a collision.
●Your vehicle speed is about 62 mph (100 km/h) or less and the system determines
there is a chance of a collision with:
- Vehicles detected in front of you that are stationary, oncoming, or traveling in
your same direction.
- A pedestrian who is detected in front of you.
●Your vehicle speed is above 62 mph (100 km/h), and the system determines there
is a chance of a collision with a vehicle detected in front of you traveling in your
same direction.

uuHonda Sensing ®u Collision Mitigation Braking SystemTM (CMBSTM)
Driving
■Automatic shutoff
CMBSTM may automatically shut itself off a nd the safety support indicator (amber)
comes and stays on when:
• The temperature inside the system is high.
• You drive off-road or on a mountain ro ad, or curved and winding road for an
extended period.
• An abnormal tire condition is detected (wrong tire size, flat tire, etc.).
• The camera behind the rearview mirror, or the area around the camera, including
the windshield, gets dirty.
Once the conditions that caused CMBS
TM to shut off improve or are addressed (e.g.,
cleaning), the system comes back on.
