Driving
Low Speed Braking Control*
Using sonar sensors located on the front and rear 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 de pressed with too much force. The system
then assists in avoiding collisions an d 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 ob stacles, as well as providing assistance
with braking.
If the only rear sensors are turned off usi ng the parking sensor system, the assistive
braking will not work when reversing.

■How the System Works1Low Speed Braking Control*
For directions on the prop er handling of the sonar
sensors, please refer to the following page.

* P. 651
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
( P.
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 chassis dynamometer, free
rollers for inspection or when washing the car in
conveyor type car wash machine.
If you put any accessories (such as a bicycle rack) on
or around the rear sensors, the Low Speed Braking
Control System may activate if it detects these
accessories as an obstacle. In this case, turn off the
rear sensor.

■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 detected near th e front 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 ti me, the system will prevent sudden forward
or backwards movement by limiting the outpu t of the engine, then assistive braking
will activate when you get closer to the obstacle.
Assistive driving power suppr ession 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 using the parking sensor system, the assistive
braking will not work when reversing.

The system will automatically turn ON after the
vehicle has been moving at over 12 mph (20 km/h)

If the system does not turn on, have your vehicle
checked by a dealer.

Driving
Conditions for assistive driving power suppression.
• When the accelerator is no longer depressed.
• When the accelerator is depressed for approximately four seconds.
• When the brake pedal is depressed.
Conditions for assistive braking cancellation.
• A certain amount of time ha s 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 refl ect sound waves well, such as people, snow, cloth,
sponges, etc.
• Thin obstacles such as fences, bicycles, sign posts, etc.
• Short or small obstacles.
• Obstacles immediately in front of the bumper.
• Obstacles that are not pe rpendicular 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.
It 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.

Driving
■Examples of situations where the sonar sensors cannot detect obstacles
• The sonar sensors are dirty (covered by snow, water, mud, etc.).
• The vehicle is too hot or cold.
• The steering wheel is turned sharply when approaching the obstacle at an angle.
■Examples of other cases where the system may not work correctly
• The vehicle is tilted due to heavy load or su spension modifications.
• Bad weather conditions such as heav y rain, fog, snow, sandstorms, etc.
• The ambient temperature/humidity is too high or low.
• When going down a very steep slope.
• When close to other vehicles with sonar sensors or other objects that emit
ultrasonic waves.
• An abnormal tire or wheel condition (inco rrect sizes, varied sizes or construction,
improperly inflated, compact spare tire
*, etc.).
■Situations where the system may acti vate even without risk of a collision
• When passing through short or narrow gates.
• When driving on uneven surfaces, grassy areas, or places with steps.
• When a sloped pillar or wall is protruding from a high position.
• When there are obstacles next to the road.
• When driving toward flags, curtains, tre e branches, railroad crossing bars, etc.
• When driving on flooded roads.

uuHonda Sensing ®u Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with Low Speed Follow
Driving
Adaptive Cruise Control (A CC) with Low Speed Follow
Helps maintain a constant vehicle speed a nd 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 vehicle, without you having to keep your foot on the brake or the
accelerator.
When ACC with Low Speed Follow slows y our vehicle by applying the brakes, your
vehicle’s brake lights will illuminate.1 Adaptive 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 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
■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 the speed of 25 mph (40 km/h) or above.
■Shift position for ACC with Low Speed Follow: In ( D or (S.
A front sensor
camera is located
behind the
rearview mirror.
The radar sensor is
behind the Honda
emblem on the
front grille.

■How to activate the system1Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with Low Speed Follow
Important Reminder
As with any system, there are limits to ACC with Low
Speed Follow. Use the brake pedal whenever
necessary, and always keep a safe interval between
your vehicle and other vehicles.
For directions on the prop er handling of the radar
sensor, refer to the following page. 2 Radar Sensor P. 650
You can read about handling information for the
camera equipped with this system. 2 Front Sensor Camera P. 648
3WARNING
Exiting a vehicle that has been stopped
while the ACC with Low Speed Follow
system is operating can result in the vehicle
moving without operator control.
A vehicle that moves without operator
control can cause a crash, resulting in
serious injury or death.
Never exit a vehicle when the vehicle is
stopped by ACC with Low Speed Follow.
How to use
■Press the button on the
steering wheel.
