uuHonda Sensing ®u Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS)
Continued
Driving
Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS)
Provides steering input to help keep the vehicle in the middle of a detected lane and
provides tactile and visual al erts if the vehicle is detected drifting out of its lane.1Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS)
Important Safety Reminders
The LKAS is for your convenience only. It is not a
substitute for your vehicle control. The system does
not work if you take y our hands off the steering
wheel or fail to steer the vehicle. 2 Driver Information Interface Warning and
Information Messages P. 108
Do not place objects on the instrument panel.
Objects may reflect on th e front windshield and
prevent correct detectio n of the traffic lanes.
The LKAS only alerts you when lane drift is detected
without a turn signal in use. The LKAS may not detect
all lane markings or lane departures; accuracy will
vary based on weather, speed, and lane marker
condition. It is always your responsibility to safely
operate the vehicle an d avoid collisions.
The LKAS is convenient when it is used on freeways.
The LKAS may not work properly or may work
improperly under the certain conditions:
2 LKAS Conditions and Limitations P. 545
You can read about handling information for the
camera equipped with this system. 2 Front Sensor Camera P. 558
When it fails to detect lanes, the system will
temporarily be canceled. When lane is detected,
system will recover automatically.
■Tactile and visual alerts
Rapid vibrations on the steering
wheel and a warning display
alert you that the vehicle is
drifting out of a detected lane.
■Front sensor camera
Monitors the lane lines
■Steering input assist
The system applies torque to the steering to keep the vehicle between the left and
right lane lines. The applied torque becomes stronger as the vehicle gets closer to
either of the lane lines.
When you operate the turn signals to change lanes, the system is suspended, and
resumes after the signals are off.
If you make a lane change without operating the turn signals, the LKAS alerts
activate, and torque is applied to the steering.

uuHonda Sensing ®u Road Departure Mitigation (RDM) System
Driving
Road Departure Mitigation (RDM) System
Alerts and helps to assist you when the sy stem detects a possibility of your vehicle
unintentionally crossing over detected la ne markings and/or leaving the roadway
altogether.
The front camera behind the rearview mirror
monitors left and right lane markings (in white
or yellow). If your vehicle is getting too close
to detected lane markings without a turn
signal activated, the system, in addition to a
visual alert, applies steering torque and alerts
you with rapid vibrations on the steering
wheel, to help you remain within the detected
lane.
2 Customized Features P. 413
As a visual alert, the Lane Departure
message appears on the driver information
interface.
If the system determines that its steering input
is insufficient to keep your vehicle on the
roadway, it may apply braking. u Braking is applied only when the lane
markings are solid continuous lines.
The system cancels assisting operations wh en you turn the steering wheel to avoid
crossing over detected lane markings.
If the system operates several times without detecting driver response, the system
beeps to alert you.
■How the System Works
1 Road Departure Mitigation (RDM) System
Important Safety Reminder
Like all assistance systems, the RDM system has
limitations.
Overreliance on the RDM system may result in a
collision. It is always your responsibility to keep the
vehicle within your driving lane.
The RDM system only alerts you when lane drift is
detected without a turn signal in use. The RDM
system may not detect all la ne markings or lane or
roadway departures; accu racy will vary based on
weather, speed and lane marker condition. It is
always your responsibilit y to safely operate the
vehicle and avoid collisions.
You can read about handling information for the
camera equipped with this system. 2 Front Sensor Camera P. 558
The RDM system may not wo rk properly or may work
improperly under the certain conditions:
2 RDM Conditions and Limitations P. 551
There are times when you may not notice RDM
functions due to your opera tion of the vehicle, or
road surface conditions.

uuHonda Sensing ®u Traffic Sign Recognition System
Continued
Driving
Traffic Sign Recognition System
Reminds you of road sign information, such as the current speed limit your vehicle
has just passed through, showing it on the driver information interface.
When the camera located behind the rear view mirror captures traffic signs while
driving, the system displays the ones that are recognized as designated for your
vehicle. The sign icon will be displayed un til the vehicle reaches a predetermined
time and distance.
If the system does not detect any traffic signs while you are driving, the sign icon will
not be displayed
The sign icon also may switch to another one, or disappear when:
• The other designated limit is detected.
• You make a turn with a turn signal at an intersection.
■How the System Works
1Traffic Sign Recognition System
Not all signs may be displa yed, but any signs posted
on roadsides should not be ignored. The system does
not work on the designated traffic signs of all the
countries you travel, nor in all situations.
Do not rely too much on the system. Always drive at
speeds appropriate fo r the road conditions.
Never apply a film or attach any objects to the
windshield that could obstruc t the camera’s field of
vision and cause the system to operate abnormally.
Scratches, nicks, and othe r damage to the windshield
within the camera’s field of vision can cause the
system to operate abnormally. If this occurs, we
recommend that you replace the windshield with a
genuine Honda replacement windshield. Making even
minor repairs within the ca mera’s field of vision or
installing an aftermarket replacement windshield may
also cause the system to operate abnormally. After
replacing the windshield, have a dealer recalibrate the
camera. Proper calibration of the camera is necessary
for the system to operate properly.
To help reduce the likelihood that high interior
temperatures will cause the camera’s sensing system to
shut off, when parking, find a shady area or face the front
of the vehicle away from the sun. If you use a reflective sun
shade, do not allow it to cover the camera housing.
Covering the camera can concentrate heat on it.
