Determine the most appropriate following-interval setting based on your specific
driving conditions. Be sure to adhere to any following-interval requirements set by
local regulation.

The higher your vehicle’s following-speed is, the longer the short, middle, long or
extra long following-interval becomes. See the following examples for your
reference.

Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS)

Continued

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 vehicle is detected drifting out of its lane.

Lane 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.

Multi-Information Display Warning and
Information Messages

P. 96

The LKAS is convenient when it is used on freeways.

Do not place objects on the instrument panel.
Objects may reflect on the 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.

The LKAS may not work properly or may work
improperly under the certain conditions:

LKAS Conditions and Limitations

P. 457

The LKAS may not function as designed while driving
in frequent stop and go traffic, or on roads with
sharp curves.

You can read about handling information for the
camera equipped with this system.

Front Sensor Camera

P. 465

When you operate the turn signals to change 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.

■

■

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.

Honda Sensing

Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS)

452

Driving

Provides assistance to keep the vehicle in the center of the lane. When the vehicle
nears a white or yellow line, steering force of the electric power steering will become
stronger.

When the vehicle enters the warning area, the LKAS alerts you with slight steering
wheel vibration as well as a warning display.

Road Departure Mitigation System

Driving

Road Departure Mitigation 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.

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.

Customized Features

P. 299

As a visual alert, the

Lane Departure

message

appears on the multi-information display.

If the system determines that its steering input
is insufficient to keep your vehicle on the
roadway, it may apply braking.

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.

If the system operates several times without detecting driver response, the system
beeps to alert you.

How the System Works

Road Departure Mitigation System

Important Safety Reminder

Like all assistance systems, the Road Departure
Mitigation system has limitations.
Over-reliance on the Road Departure Mitigation
system may result in a collision. It is always your
responsibility to keep the vehicle within your driving
lane.

The Road Departure Mitigation system only alerts you
when lane drift is detected without a turn signal in
use. The Road Departure Mitigation 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.
