7-Speed Manual Shift Mode Operation

7-Speed Manual Shift Mode Operation

Each paddle shift operation makes a single speed
change.
To change continuously, release the paddle shifter
before pulling it again for the next speed.

The shift indicator blinks when you cannot shift up or
down. It indicates that your vehicle speed is not in its
allowable shifting range.
Slightly accelerate to shift up and decelerate to shift
down while the indicator is blinking.

The shift indicator may also blink when you cannot
shift down while driving in low speed. This prevents
the transmission from being damaged.

This indicator will not prompt you to downshift to
increase engine braking. It is up to you to downshift
to increase engine braking when driving downhill.

Always shift down at the appropriate vehicle speed.

When the ECON mode is on, ambient meter color
may change if you do not change gears when a shift
indicator illuminates. This can result in a change in
fuel economy.

Road and traffic conditions may require you to shift
at times other than those indicated.

WARNING

The shift indicator is only a guide to help
you achieve better fuel economy.
Never refer to the Shift Indicators when
road and traffic conditions are unsuitable
or when it may distract you.

Shifting

Fully depress the clutch pedal to operate the shift lever and change gears, then
slowly release the pedal.

Depress the clutch pedal, and pause for a few seconds before shifting into

(

R, or

shift into one of the forward gears for a moment. This stops the gears so they do not
“grind.”

When you are not shifting, do not rest your
foot on the clutch pedal. This can cause your
clutch to wear out faster.

Shift Lever Operation

NOTICE

Do not shift to

(

R before the vehicle comes to a

complete stop.
Shifting to

(

R before stopping can damage the

transmission.

NOTICE

Before downshifting, make sure the engine will not
go into the tachometer's red zone. Should this occur,
it can severely damage your engine.

There is a metallic part on the shift lever. If you leave
the vehicle parked outside for a long time on a hot
day, be careful before moving the shift lever. Because
of heat, the shift lever may be extremely hot. If the
outside temperature is low, the shift lever may feel
cold.

If you exceed the maximum speed for the gear you
are in, the engine speed will enter into the
tachometer’s red zone. When this happens, you may
experience a slight jolt.

Limitations

The rev match system will not activate under the following conditions:
• You are shifting into a lower gear, but the system has determined that the engine

will over rev.

• You are shifting into 1st gear from a higher gear.
• Engine RPM is low and you are shifting into a lower gear in sequential order.
• The system has determined that the engine will be at idling speed after you have

shifted into a higher gear.

• The clutch pedal is not fully depressed.
The rev match system may deactivate if the clutch is kept engaged for a extended
period of time.

Cruise Control

*

It may not be possible to maintain a constant speed
when driving uphill or downhill.

When not using cruise control:
Turn off cruise control by pressing the CRUISE
button.

While in ECON mode

*

, it may take relatively more

time to accelerate to maintain the set speed.

When the engine speed slows down, try to
downshift.
You can maintain the set speed if you change gear
within five seconds.

WARNING

Improper use of the cruise control can lead
to a crash.

Use the cruise control only when traveling
on open highways in good weather.

Front Sensor Camera

*

The camera, used in systems such as LKAS, RDM, ACC

*

, ACC with LSF

*

, CMBS

TM

and auto high-beam, 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
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.

Camera Location and Handling Tips

1

Front Sensor Camera

*

Never apply a film or attach any objects to the
windshield, hood, or front grill 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.

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.

If the Some Driver Assist Systems Cannot

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

Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with Low Speed Follow (LSF)

*

Helps maintain a constant vehicle speed and a set following-interval behind a vehicle
detected ahead of yours and, if the detected 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 LSF slows your vehicle by applying the brakes, your vehicle’s brake
lights will illuminate.

Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with Low Speed Follow (LSF)

*

Important Reminder
As with any system, there are limits to ACC with LSF.
Use the brake pedal whenever necessary, and always
keep a safe interval between your vehicle and other
vehicles.

3

WARNING

Improper use of ACC with LSF can lead to a
crash.

Use ACC with LSF only when driving on
expressways or freeways and in good
weather conditions.

3

WARNING

ACC with LSF 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 with LSF: A vehicle is detected ahead within ACC with
LSF range
– ACC with LSF operates at speeds up to 90 mph (145 km/h).
No vehicle is detected within ACC with LSF range – ACC with LSF operates at
the speed of 25 mph (40km/h) or above.
