Driving
Front Sensor Camera*
The camera, used in systems su ch as LKAS, RDM, ACC, and CMBSTM, is designed to 
detect an object that triggers any of  the systems to operate its functions.
This camera is located behind the rearview 
mirror.
To help reduce the likelihood that high interior 
temperatures will cause the camera’s sensing 
s y s t e m  t o  s h u t  o f f ,  w h e n  p a r k i n g ,  f i n d  a  s h a d y  
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.
■Camera Location and Handling Tips
1 Front Sensor Camera*
Never apply a film or attach any objects to 
windshield, the hood, or the front grill that could 
obstruct the camera’s fiel d of vision and cause the 
system to operate abnormally.
Scratches, nicks, and othe r damage to the windshield 
within the camera’s fiel d of vision can cause the 
system to operate abnormall y. If this occurs, we 
recommend that you replac e the windshield with a 
genuine Honda replacem ent windshield. Making 
even minor repairs within th e camera’s field of vision 
or installing an aftermarket replacement windshield 
may also cause the system to operate abnormally.
After replacing the winds hield, have a dealer 
recalibrate the camera. Pr oper calibration of the 
camera is necessary for the system to operate 
properly.
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.

•Use the climate control system to cool down the 
interior and, if necessary,  also use defroster mode 
with the air flow directed towards the camera.
•Start driving the vehicle to lower the windshield 
temperature, which cool s down the area around 
the camera.
If the Some Driver Assist Systems Cannot 
Operate:    message appears:
•Park your vehicle in a sa fe place, and clean the

Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)*
Helps maintain a constant  vehicle speed and a set follo wing distance behind a 
vehicle detected ahead of yours, without  you having to keep your foot on the brake 
or the accelerator.1 Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)*
ACC can not be activated if Intelligent Traction 
Management sett ing is snow, sand or mud.
3WARNING
Improper use of ACC can lead to a crash.

ACC has limited braking capability.
When your vehicle speed drops below 22 
mph, ACC will automatically cancel and no 
longer will apply your vehicle's brakes. 
Always be prepared to apply the brake 
pedal when conditions require.
When to use
■Vehicle speed for adaptive crui se control: Desired speed in a 
range above roughly 25 mph (40 km/h) ~
■Gear positions for adapti ve cruise control: In (D or (S*
The radar sensor is inside 
the front grille.
The camera is located

■There is a vehicle ahead
ACC monitors if a vehicle ahead of you enters  the ACC range. If a vehicle is detected 
doing so, the ACC system maintains or decele rates your vehicle’s set speed in order 
to keep the vehicle’s se t following-distance from the vehicle ahead.
2To Change Vehicle Distance P. 500
■When in Operation1When in Operation
If the vehicle detected  ahead of you slows down 
abruptly, or if a nother vehicle is de tected cutting in 
front of you, the beep er sounds and a message 
appears on the multi-informat ion display to alert you 
to brake.
Depress the brake pedal,  and keep an appropriate 
distance from the vehicle ahead.
Even if the distance betw een your vehicle and the 
vehicle detected ahead is short, ACC may start 
accelerating your vehi cle under the following 
circumstances:
•The vehicle detected ahead of you is going at 
almost the same speed as, or faster than your 
vehicle.
•A vehicle that cuts in front of you is going faster 
than your vehicle, gradua lly distancing itself from 
you.

■There is no vehicle ahead
Your vehicle cruises at the set speed.
■A vehicle ahead is within ACC range and going slower than the set speed
Your vehicle slows down, and maintains the  same speed as the speed of the vehicle 
ahead to maintain the set following distance.
■A vehicle ahead is within ACC ra nge and going at a steady speed
Your vehicle follows the vehicle ahead of  it, keeping a constant distance, without 
going beyond the set speed.
■A vehicle ahead goes out of range
ACC accelerates your vehicle to th e set speed, and then maintains it.
■When you depress the accelerator pedal
You can temporarily increase the vehicle speed . In this case, there is no audible or 
visual alerts even if a  vehicle is in ACC range.
ACC stays on unless you cancel it. Once  you release the accelerator pedal, the 
system resumes the set speed.
