Use the paddle shifters to change between 1st and 10th gears without removing
your hands from the steering wheel. The tr ansmission will switch to the sequential
mode.
■When the transmi ssion is in (D:
The vehicle will go into the sequential mode momentarily, and the sequential mode
gear selection indicator will come on.
When the vehicle goes into the sequential mode by
(- paddle shifter and the lower
gear is available, the trans mission properly selects single or double gear change.
Once the vehicle starts traveling at consta nt speed or accelerates, the sequential
mode will be automatically turned off, and the sequential mode gear selection
indicator will go off.
Holding the
(+ paddle shifter for two seconds will cancel this mode.
■When the transmi ssion is in (S
The vehicle will go into the sequential mode, and the M (sequential mode) indicator
and sequential mode gear selection indicator will come on.
If the vehicle speed increases and the engi ne speed reaches near the tachometer red
zone, the transmission automatically shifts up to the next gear.
Holding the
(+ paddle shifter for two seconds or pushing button will cancel
this mode. When the sequential mode is canceled, the sequential mode indicator
and sequential mode gear selection indicator go off.

Driving
Intelligent Variable Torque Management (i-VTM4TM) AWD System*
The intelligent variable torque management (i-VTM4TM) AWD system is a full time all
wheel drive system that automatically c ontrols and transfers varying amount of
engine torque to all wheels independently according to the driving conditions.
You still need to exercise the same care when accelerating, steering, and braking
that you would in a tw o-wheel drive vehicle.
Avoid continuously driving on slippery surfa ces where a wheel is likely to spin out,
and do not drive if the AWD temperature too hot. Do not drive. Idle engine to
allow system to cool. message appears. Driving continuously under such
conditions can damage the system’s torque distribution unit.
If AWD temperature too hot. Do not drive. Idle engine to allow system to
cool. message appears on the driver informati on interface while driving, it indicates
the differential temperature is too high. If this happens, pull to the side of the road
when it is safe, change the shift position to
(P, and idle the engine until the
message disappears. If the me ssage does not disappear, take your vehicle to a dealer
to have it checked.
1Intelligent Variable Torque Management (i-VTM4TM) AWD System*
NOTICE
Do not continuously spin the front tires of your
vehicle. Continuously spinning the front tires can
cause transmission or re ar differential damage.
The intelligent variable torque management
(i-VTM4
TM) AWD system may not function properly if
tire type and size are mixed. Make sure to use the
same size and type of tire , and the air pressures as
specified. 2 Tire and Wheel Replacement P. 734

Monitors the tire pr essure while you are
driving. If your vehicle’s tire pressure becomes
significantly low, the Low Tire Pressure/TPMS
indicator comes on and a message appears on
the driver information interface.
1 Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) with Tire Fill Assist
Conditions such as low ambient temperature and
altitude change directly affect tire pressure and can
trigger the Low Tire Pressure/TPMS indicator to come
on. 2 If the Low Tire Pressure/TPMS Indicator
Comes On or Blinks P. 776
Tire pressure checked and inflated in:
•Warm weather can beco me under-inflated in
colder weather.
•Cold weather can become overinflated in warmer
weather.
The Low Tire Pressure/TPMS indicator will not come
on as a result of overinflation.
Only use genuine TPMS specified wheels since your
vehicle’s wheels are equipped with the low tire
pressure/TPMS sensor.
If you drive your vehicle without the genuine TPMS
specified wheels, the low tire pressure/TPMS
indicator blinks for one minutes and then stays on.
2 Tire and Wheel Replacement P. 734
The TPMS audibly and visually informs you of
changes in tire pressure of the individual tire that you
are adjusting using audibl e and visual indications.
If a change in tire pressure has been significant, the
system beeps and the hazard lights flash continuously
for five seconds when the specified tire pressure is
reached. Stop filling the tire.

When driving at about 25 mph (40 km/h) or above: Take your foot off the
pedal and press the RES/+/SET/− switch up or down when you reach the desired
speed. The moment you release the switch, the set speed is fixed, and ACC with
Low Speed Follow begins.
When you use ACC with Low Speed Follow, Stra ight Driving Assist (a feature of the
Electric Power Steering system) is activated.
By enabling the steering system to automatically compensate for natural steering pull,
Straight Driving Assist makes it easier for you to keep your vehicle in a straight line.
■To Set the Vehicle Speed1To Set the Vehicle Speed

Do not use ACC with Low Speed Follow under the
following conditions:
•On roads with frequent la ne-change or continuous

cannot keep an appropriate distance between your
vehicle and the vehicle ahead of you.
•On roads with sharp turns.•On roads with toll collection facilities or other
objects between lanes of traffic, or in parking

•On roads with bad weather (rain, fog, snow, etc.),
ACC with Low Speed Follow may not detect the

uuHonda Sensing ®u Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with Low Speed Follow
596
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 vehicle from traveling at
the set speed, ACC with Low Speed Follow
accelerates your vehicle to the set speed, and
then maintains it.
While driving down steep hills, ACC with Low
Speed Follow brakes to inhibit excessive
acceleration for maintaining the set speed.
However, the vehicle speed may become
faster than the set speed.
■When you depress th e accelerator pedal
You can temporarily increase th e 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 unless you cancel it. Once you release the
accelerator pedal, the system resume s an appropriate speed for keeping the
following-interval wh ile 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.
Models with A-type meter
Models with B-type meter

uuHonda Sensing ®u Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS)
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 alerts if the ve hicle 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 an
autonomous driving system and always requires
driver attention and control. The system does not
work if you take your hands off the steering wheel or
fail to steer the vehicle.
The LKAS is convenient when it is used on
expressways or freeways.
Do not place objects on the instrument panel.
Objects may reflect on th e windshield and prevent
correct detection 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 and avoid collisions.
You can read about handling information for the
camera equipped with this system. 2 Front Sensor Camera P. 648
The LKAS may not work properly or may work
improperly under the certain conditions: 2 LKAS Conditions and Limitations P. 621
When you operate the turn signals to chan ge 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.
■Front Sensor
Camera
Monitors the
lane lines■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.
■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.
