Guide to Safety and Driver-assistance Features


Safety and Driver-assistance Features on Honda Vehicles

Honda has always prioritized safety in real-life situations, covering everything from passive safety tech for accidents to active systems that stop accidents before they happen. Honda SensingĀ® is a smart driving aid system that uses the automaker’s vast experience in safety technologies to monitor what's happening around the car, assisting the driver in safe and smooth driving while avoiding collisions.

Using a wide-view camera and sonar sensors at the front and rear, Honda SensingĀ® can spot objects over a wide area, even diagonally ahead of the vehicle. It uses data from all these sensors to understand the environment, predict dangers, and help with safe driving decisions.

Honda SensingĀ® Features

Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS)

This feature can identify vehicles and pedestrians up ahead. If a collision looks likely, it warns the driver audibly and visually. As the vehicle nears the obstacle, it gently brakes. If a crash seems imminent, it increases braking to reduce impact.

Collision Mitigation Throttle Control

If you're stopped or moving slowly and something is in your path, this system stops sudden acceleration when you hit the gas pedal. For example, if you're about to bump into a wall at close range and press down on the accelerator, it will warn you audibly and visually.

Rear Collision Mitigation Throttle Control

When backing up at low speed and something is behind you, this system stops sudden acceleration if you press the gas pedal too hard. It'll also alert you with warnings, both audible and visual.

Low-speed Brake Function

When your vehicle is cruising at a leisurely pace, and the sensors detect an obstacle that could lead to a collision, the system jumps in to help you avoid it by controlling the brakes.

Pedestrian Collision Mitigation Steering System

If your car starts veering toward pedestrians on the sidewalk, this system alerts you with sounds and visuals to prevent mishaps. It even nudges you with steering assistance to avoid trouble.

Road Departure Mitigation System

This system keeps an eye on the road markings and gives you a heads-up with visual cues and steering wheel vibrations if it senses any lane drifting. Moreover, it can perform corrective steering maneuvers to keep you on track.

Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)

This smart system monitors the distance between your car and the one in front, adjusting speed automatically to maintain a safe gap. When traffic slows down, it can also bring your vehicle to a halt.

Lane Keeping Assist System

This system detects lane markings and offers gentle steering inputs to help you stay centered in your lane without breaking a sweat.

Traffic Jam Assist

Are you stuck in slow-moving traffic? Let this feature take over. It will provide steering support to keep you in the middle of your lane. This feature will also ease some driving pressure off your shoulders.

Lead Car Departure Notification System

If you're stopped at a light or in traffic, this system will alert you audibly and visually if the vehicle ahead starts rolling before you do.

Traffic Sign Recognition System

This helpful system recognizes traffic signs and displays them promptly so that you can stay informed and drive safely.

Automatic High-beam

When driving on dark roads without street lights at night with low beams, the system switches to high beams to improve visibility. It automatically reverts to low beams when it detects other vehicles.

Adaptive Driving Beam

Like automatic high-beam, this system adjusts the headlights. It gives the driver clear visibility without blinding others on dark roads.

Parking Sensor System

The vehicle's sensors detect nearby obstacles. They alert the driver with audible and visual warnings that show the distance to the obstacles.

Unintended Acceleration Mitigation (Available as a Dealer Option)

This system monitors how quickly and hard the accelerator pedal is pressed to detect unintended acceleration. It then suspends acceleration and notifies the driver through audible and visual alerts.

Blind Spot Information System

This detects vehicles in the blind spots behind the car and alerts the driver by illuminating indicators on or near the side mirrors. If the turn signal is activated in that direction, an audible alarm sounds along with flashing indicators.

Cross Traffic Monitor

When backing out of a parking spot or garage, this system detects approaching vehicles from both sides behind your vehicle. It informs you about their direction through audible warnings and indicators on the center display.

Honda Parking Pilot

The system assists in smooth parking maneuvers like parallel parking by automatically controlling steering, acceleration, braking, and gear shifting. It also displays the movement of your vehicle and surroundings in real time during parking activities.
