Collision Mitigation Braking SystemTM (CMBSTM)  
1Collision Mitigation Braking SystemTM (CMBSTM  
)
The system can assist you when it determines there is a possibility of your vehicle  
colliding with a vehicle or a pedestrian detected in front of your vehicle. The CMBSTM  
is designed to alert you when the potential for a collision is determined, as well as to  
reduce your vehicle speed to help minimize collision severity when a collision is  
deemed unavoidable.  
■ How the system works  
When to use  
Important Safety Reminder  
The CMBSTM is designed to reduce the severity of an  
unavoidable collision. It does not prevent collisions  
nor stop the vehicle automatically. It is still your  
responsibility to operate the brake pedal and steering  
wheel appropriately according to the driving  
conditions.  
The camera is located  
behind the rearview  
mirror.  
The CMBSTM may not activate or may not detect a  
vehicle in front of your vehicle under certain  
conditions:  
2 CMBSTM Conditions and Limitations P. 460  
For directions on the proper handling of the radar  
sensor, refer to the following page.  
2 Radar Sensor P. 506  
The radar sensor is at the  
lower part of the front  
bumper.  
You can read about handling information for the  
camera equipped with this system.  
2 Front Sensor Camera P. 504  
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 CMBSTM activates when:  
When the CMBSTM activates, it may automatically  
apply the brake. It will be canceled when your vehicle  
stops or a potential collision is not determined.  
●
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.

■ When the system activates  
1When the system activates  
The camera in the CMBSTM is also designed to detect  
pedestrians.  
The system provides visual and audible alerts of a possible collision, and stops if the  
collision is avoided.  
However, this pedestrian detection feature may not  
activate or may not detect a pedestrian in front of  
your vehicle under certain conditions.

Low Speed Braking Control*  
1Low Speed Braking Control*  
Using sonar sensors located on the front and rear bumpers, the vehicle detects if  
there is danger of a potential collision with a wall or other obstacle. The system is  
designed to alert you when a potential collision is determined, as well as assist in  
reducing speed, avoiding collisions, and reducing collision severity.

WARNING  
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.  
If the Low Speed Braking Control activates in a

Road Departure Mitigation (RDM) System  
1Road Departure Mitigation (RDM) System  
Alerts and helps to assist you when the system detects a possibility of your vehicle  
unintentionally crossing over detected lane markings and/or leaving the roadway  
altogether.  
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.  
How the System Works  
■
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.  
The RDM system only alerts you when lane drift is  
detected without a turn signal in use. The RDM  
system may not detect all lane markings or lane or  
roadway 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. 504

As a visual alert, the Lane Departure  
message appears on the driver information  
interface.  
The RDM system may not work properly or may work  
improperly under the certain conditions:  
2 RDM Conditions and Limitations P. 496  
There are times when you may not notice RDM  
functions due to your operation of the vehicle, or  
road surface conditions.  
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 when you turn the steering wheel to avoid  
crossing over detected lane markings.  
In the following case, a beeper sounds, a message  
related to the ACC with Low Speed Follow appears  
on the driver information interface, and the braking  
function controlled by the RDM system is canceled.  
• The vehicle has repeatedly applied the brakes to  
maintain the set speed (for example, you are  
descending a long slope).

uuHonda Sensing®uFront Sensor Camera  
Front Sensor Camera  
The camera, used in systems such as Lane Keeping Assist System, Road Departure  
Mitigation system, Adaptive Cruise Control with Low Speed Follow, Collision  
Mitigation Braking SystemTM and traffic sign recognition system, is designed to  
detect an object that triggers any of the systems to operate their functions.  
1Front Sensor Camera  
Never apply a film or attach any objects to the  
windshield, the hood, or the front grille that could  
obstruct the camera’s field of vision and cause the  
system to operate abnormally.  
Scratches, nicks, and other 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 camera’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.  
Camera Location and Handling Tips  
■
This camera is located behind the rearview  
mirror.  
Front Sensor  
Camera  
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.  
Do not place an object on the top of the instrument  
panel. It may reflect onto the windshield and prevent  
the system from detecting lane lines properly.

uuHonda Sensing®uFront Sensor Camera  
1Front Sensor Camera  
If the Some Driver Assist Systems Cannot  
Operate: Camera Temperature Too High message  
appears:  
• Use the climate control system to cool down the  
interior and, if necessary, also use defroster mode  
with the airflow directed towards the camera.  
• Start driving the vehicle to lower the windshield  
temperature, which cools down the area around  
the camera.  
If the Some Driver Assist Systems Cannot  
Operate: Clean Front Windshield message  
appears:  
• Park your vehicle in a safe place, and clean the  
windshield. If the message does not disappear after  
you have cleaned the windshield and driven for a  
while, have your vehicle checked by a dealer.
