Detail

Important Safety Reminder

The CMBS^TM 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 CMBS^TM may not activate or may not detect a vehicle in front of your vehicle under certain conditions:

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

When the CMBS^TM is activated, it will continue to operate even if the accelerator pedal is partially depressed. However, it will be canceled if the accelerator pedal is fully depressed.

Manual transmission models

When the CMBS^TM activates, the engine may stop automatically. Start the engine by normal operation if the engine stops.

You cannot turn the CMBS^TM off while driving.

The CMBS^TM may automatically shut off, and the safety support indicator (amber) will come and stay on under certain conditions:

The CMBS^TM is not activated for about 15 seconds after the engine starts.

You can also select safety support content from the driver information interface.

The Vehicle Stability Assist^TM (VSA^®) system, Vehicle Stability Assist^TM (VSA^®) OFF, Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with Low Speed Follow*/Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)*, low tire pressure/TPMS* and safety support indicators may come on in amber along with a message in the gauge when you set the power mode to ON after reconnecting the battery.
Drive a short distance at more than 12 mph (20 km/h).
Each indicator should go off. If any do not, have your vehicle checked by a dealer.

Make sure that all the tires are of the same specified size, type and brand, and that they are evenly worn.
If you use tires of different sizes, types, brands, or degree of wear, the system may not work properly.

Do not modify the suspension. Altering the height of the vehicle may prevent the system from working properly.

The CMBS^TM will be canceled when your vehicle stops or the system determines there no longer is the potential for a collision.
The CMBS^TM may also be canceled when a driver operates the steering wheel and the brake or accelerator pedal to avoid a collision.

Detail

The camera in the CMBS^TM is also designed to detect pedestrians.
However, this pedestrian detection feature may not activate or may not detect a pedestrian in front of your vehicle under certain conditions.
Refer to the ones indicating the pedestrian detection limitations from the list.

You can change the distance (Long/Normal/Short) between vehicles at which the system’s earliest collision alert will come on through the driver information interface* or audio/information screen* setting options.

The system has three alert stages for a possible collision. However, depending on circumstances, the CMBS^TM may not go through all of the stages before initiating the last stage.

Distance between vehicles	CMBSTM
	The sensors detect a vehicle	Audible & Visual WARNINGS	Braking
Stage one		There is a risk of a collision with the vehicle ahead of you.	When in Long, visual and audible alerts come on at a longer distance from a vehicle ahead than in Normal setting, and in Short, at a shorter distance than in Normal.	—
Stage two		The risk of a collision has increased, time to respond is reduced.	Visual and audible alerts.	Lightly applied
Stage three		The CMBSTM determines that a collision is unavoidable.		Forcefully applied

The system may automatically shut off and the safety support indicator (amber) will come on under certain conditions. Some examples of these conditions are listed below. Other conditions may reduce some of the CMBS^TM functions.

Detail

Have your vehicle checked by a dealer if you find any unusual behavior of the system (e.g., the warning message appears too frequently).

• Driving in bad weather (rain, fog, snow, etc.).
• Sudden changes between light and dark, such as the entrance or exit of a tunnel or the shadows of trees, buildings, etc.
• Driving into low sunlight (e.g., at dawn or dusk).
• Strong light is reflected onto vehicles, pedestrians, moving bicycles, or road surfaces.
• Water is sprayed by or snow blown from a vehicle ahead.
• Driving at night or in a dark place such as a tunnel (due to low-light conditions, vehicles, pedestrians, or moving bicycles may not be illuminated).

• Driving on curvy, winding, undulating, or sloping roads.
• There is a film of water or puddles on the road surface.
• Driving on rutted roads (snowy or unpaved roads, etc.).
• Your vehicle is strongly shaken on uneven road surfaces.

• Tire chains* are installed.
• Driving at night or in a dark place (e.g., a tunnel) with the headlights off.
• The front of the camera is covered by dirt, fog, rain, mud, wet snow, seals, accessories, stickers, or film on the windshield.
• There is residue on the windshield from the windshield wipers.
• When lighting is weak due to dirt covering the headlight lenses, or there is poor visibility in a dark place due to the headlights being improperly adjusted.
• An abnormal tire or wheel condition (incorrect sizes, varied sizes or construction, improperly inflated, compact spare tire*, etc.).
• The suspension has been modified.

• The distance between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead of you, oncoming vehicle, pedestrian, or moving bicycle ahead of you is too short.
• The vehicle ahead of you, oncoming vehicle, pedestrian, or moving bicycle suddenly cuts in front of or jumps out in front of you.
• The bicycle is stopped.
• The oncoming vehicle or vehicle ahead of you is sideways.
• When the vehicle ahead of you, oncoming vehicle, pedestrian, or moving bicycle blends in with the background, preventing the system from recognizing them.
• When several pedestrians or bicycles are moving ahead of you in a group.
• When a pedestrian or moving bicycle crosses the road too quickly.
• A pedestrian or moving bicycle approaches from the opposite direction.
• The headlights of the vehicle ahead of you or oncoming vehicle are lit on one side or not lit on either side in a dark place.
• When part of a pedestrian (heads, limbs, etc.) is hidden by load.
• When a pedestrian is bent over or squatting, when their hands are raised, or they are running.
• When the pedestrian is shorter than about 3.3 feet (1 meter) or taller than about 6.6 feet (2 meters) in height.

• When the camera cannot correctly identify the shape of the vehicle ahead of you, oncoming vehicle, pedestrian, or moving bicycle.
• When the minimum ground clearance of a vehicle ahead of you is extremely high.

1. When there is a possibility of a frontal collision with the oncoming vehicle while turning left, the CMBS^TM is activated. However, it may not be activated if you suddenly turn the steering wheel.

The CMBS^TM may automatically shut itself off and the safety support indicator (amber) comes and stays on when:

• You drive off-road or on a mountain road, or curved and winding road for an extended period.
• Driving in bad weather (rain, fog, snow, etc.).
• Driving with the parking brake applied.
• The camera temperature gets too high.
• The front of the camera is covered by dirt, fog, rain, mud, wet snow, seals, accessories, stickers, or film on the windshield.
• An abnormal tire condition is detected (incorrect tire size, flat tire, etc.).

Once the conditions that caused the CMBS^TM to shut off improve or are addressed (e.g., cleaning), the system comes back on.

Even if there is little chance of a collision, the CMBS^TM may activate under the following conditions:

• Your vehicle approaches or passes another vehicle that is making a left or right turn.
• Your vehicle approaches another vehicle ahead of you and you change lanes to pass.
• Your vehicle approaches another vehicle at an intersection, etc.

• When passing through a low or narrow gate at a speed well over the speed limit.
• When there are traffic signs or structures such as guard rails are beside the road along a curve.

• When driving through curves, your vehicle comes to a point where the oncoming vehicle is right in front of you.

• When approaching stationary vehicles or walls, such as when parking.

* Not available on all models

Using sonar sensors located on the front and rear bumpers, and the front grille, this system detects if there is danger of a potential collision with a wall or other obstacle during normal driving or when the accelerator pedal is depressed with too much force. The system then assists in avoiding collisions and reducing damage from impact through assistive braking and/or assistive driving power suppression.

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.

Detail

If the Low Speed Braking Control activates in a situation where you do not want automatic brake application (such as when the vehicle is between two railroad crossing gates), simply press the brake pedal to deactivate the system and then continue to drive as intended.

For directions on the proper handling of the sonar sensors, please refer to the following page.

The vehicle will release the brake and start moving a few seconds after the system is activated. To keep the vehicle stopped, keep the brake pedal depressed or put the transmission into P.

In order to prevent the system from activating when not needed, always turn it off during vehicle maintenance, when loading on ships, trucks, and so on, or when using a chassis dynamometer, free rollers for inspection or when washing the car in conveyor type car wash machine.

Assistive braking provides a visual and audible alert when the vehicle is moving between approximately 1 and 6 mph (2 and 10 km/h) and there is the possibility of a collision with a detected wall or other obstacles, as well as providing assistance with braking.

If the only rear sensors are turned off using the parking sensor system, the assistive braking is not working when reversing.

When the vehicle is stopped or moving at less than 6 mph (10 km/h) and there is an obstacle such as a wall detected near the front of or back of the vehicle, if the accelerator pedal is depressed more than necessary, the system will inform you with a visual and audible alert. At the same time, the system will prevent sudden forward or backwards movement by limiting the output of the engine, then assistive braking will activate nearby the obstacle.

If the only rear sensors are turned off using the parking sensor system, the assistive driving power suppression is not working when reversing.

Detail

You can also select safety support content from the driver information interface.

The system may temporarily turn off after reconnecting the battery.
The system will automatically turn ON after the vehicle has been moving at over 12 mph (20 km/h) for some time.
If the system does not turn on, have your vehicle checked by a dealer.

• When the accelerator is no longer depressed.
• When the accelerator is depressed for approximately four seconds.
• When the brake pedal is depressed.
• When the steering wheel is turned and a collision avoided.

• A certain amount of time has passed since activation.
  

Detail

After Low Speed Braking Control has activated once, it will not activate again for the same obstacle.
They can be activated again after driving for a certain distance after last activation.

Low Speed Braking Control activates separately when moving forward and reversing. (For example, if it activates when moving forward, it can be activated again immediately if reversing.)
However, if assistive braking has been activated, in order to activate assistive driving power suppression again, it is necessary to drive for a certain distance to reset the system.

The system may not operate correctly in the following conditions:

• Obstacles that do not reflect sound waves well, such as people, snow, cloth, sponges, etc.
• Thin obstacles such as fences, bicycles, sign posts, etc.
• Short or small obstacles.
• Obstacles immediately in front of the bumper.
• Moving objects or obstacles that suddenly enter the road.
• Obstacles that are not perpendicular to the ground.

• The sonar sensor is dirty (covered by snow, water, mud, etc.).
• The vehicle is too hot or cold.
• The steering wheel is turned sharply when approaching the obstacle at an angle.

• The vehicle is tilted due to heavy load or suspension modifications.
• An abnormal tire or wheel condition (incorrect sizes, varied sizes or construction, improperly inflated, compact spare tire, etc.).
• Bad weather conditions such as heavy rain, fog, snow, sandstorms, etc.
• The ambient temperature/humidity is too high or low.
• When going down a very steep slope.
• When close to other vehicles with sonar sensors or other objects that emit ultrasonic waves.

• When passing through short or narrow gates.
• When driving on uneven surfaces, grassy areas, or places with steps.
• When a sloped pillar or wall is protruding from a high position.
• When there are obstacles next to the road.
• When driving toward flags, curtains, tree branches, railroad crossing bars, etc.
• When driving on flooded roads.

WARNING

Improper use of ACC with Low Speed Follow can lead to a crash.

Use ACC with Low Speed Follow only when driving on expressways or freeways and in good road and weather conditions.

WARNING

ACC with Low Speed Follow 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.

Detail

Important Reminder

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

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

ACC with Low Speed Follow may not work properly under certain conditions.

When not using ACC with Low Speed Follow: Turn off adaptive cruise by pressing the button.

Do not use ACC with Low Speed Follow under the following conditions:

• On roads with frequent lane-change or continuous stop and go traffic. ACC with Low Speed Follow cannot keep an appropriate distance between your vehicle and vehicle ahead of you.
• On roads with sharp turns.
• On roads with toll collection facilities or other objects between lanes of traffic, or in parking areas, or facilities with drive through access.
• On roads with bad weather (rain, fog, snow, etc.), ACC with Low Speed Follow may not detect the distance between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead of you properly.
• On roads with slippery or icy surfaces. The wheels may spin out and your vehicle may lose the control on the condition.
• On roads with steep uphill or steep downhill slopes.
• On roads with undulating slopes.

When driving at about 25 mph (40 km/h) or above: Take your foot off the pedal and press the RES/+/SET/− switch up or down when you reach the desired speed. The moment you release the switch, the set speed is fixed, and ACC with Low Speed Follow begins.
When driving slower than about 25 mph (40 km/h): If the vehicle is moving and the brake pedal is not depressed, pressing the switch fixes the set speed to about 25 mph (40 km/h) regardless of current vehicle speed. If your vehicle is stationary, you can set the vehicle speed even with the brake pedal depressed.

1. Models with A-type meter
2. Models with B-type meter

Detail

The Vehicle Stability Assist^TM (VSA^®) system, Vehicle Stability Assist^TM (VSA^®) OFF, Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with Low Speed Follow, low tire pressure/TPMS* and safety support indicators may come on in amber along with a message in the gauge when you set the power mode to ON after reconnecting the battery.
Drive a short distance at more than 12 mph (20 km/h).
Each indicator should go off. If any do not, have your vehicle checked by a dealer.

You can switch the displayed set speed measurements on the driver information interface or audio/information screen* between mph and km/h.

WARNING

Exiting a vehicle that has been stopped while the ACC with Low Speed Follow system is operating can result in the vehicle moving without operator control.

A vehicle that moves without operator control can cause a crash, resulting in serious injury or death.

Never exit a vehicle when the vehicle is stopped by ACC with Low Speed Follow.

Detail

If the vehicle ahead of you slows down abruptly, or if another vehicle cuts in front of you, a beeper sounds, a message appears on the driver information interface.

Depress the brake pedal, and keep an appropriate interval from the vehicle ahead.

Even if the interval between your vehicle and the vehicle detected ahead is short, ACC with Low Speed Follow may start accelerating your vehicle under the following circumstances:

• The vehicle 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, gradually increasing the interval between the vehicles.

You can also set the system to beep when a vehicle in front of you comes in and goes out of the ACC with Low Speed Follow detecting range. A vehicle detect beep on and off can be selected.

Limitations

You may need to use the brake to maintain a safe interval when using ACC with Low Speed Follow. Additionally, ACC with Low Speed Follow may not work properly under certain conditions.

• ACC with Low Speed Follow may temporarily control the interval between your vehicle and the vehicle in adjacent lane or surroundings of your vehicle depending on the road conditions (e.g. curves) or vehicle conditions (e.g. operating the steering wheel or the vehicle location in the lane).
  

  

• When the vehicle ahead of you moves away, such as when entering an interchange or rest area, ACC with Low Speed Follow may continue to maintain the set following-interval for a short time.

ACC with Low Speed Follow monitors if a vehicle ahead of you enters the ACC with Low Speed Follow range. If a vehicle is detected doing so, the ACC with Low Speed Follow system maintains or decelerates your vehicle’s set speed in order to keep the vehicle’s set following-interval from the vehicle ahead.

The system may automatically shut off under certain conditions. Some examples of these conditions are listed below. Other conditions may reduce some of the ACC with Low Speed Follow functions.

• Driving in bad weather (rain, fog, snow, etc.).
• Sudden changes between light and dark, such as the entrance or exit of a tunnel or the shadows of trees, buildings, etc.
• Strong light is reflected onto vehicles or road surfaces.
• Water is sprayed by or snow blown from a vehicle ahead.
• Driving at night or in a dark place such as a tunnel (due to low-light conditions, the whole vehicle may not be illuminated).
• Driving into low sunlight (e.g., at dawn or dusk).

• Driving on curvy, winding, undulating, or sloping roads.
  
  
• Driving on rutted roads (snowy or unpaved roads, etc.).
• Puddles or a film of water is on the road surface.
• Your vehicle is strongly shaken on uneven road surfaces.

• The vehicle is tilted due to heavy load in the trunk or rear seats.
• Tire chains are installed.
• The front of the camera is covered by dirt, fog, rain, mud, wet snow, seals, accessories, stickers, or film of the windshield.
• Driving at night or in a dark place (e.g., a tunnel) with the headlights off.
• There is residue on the windshield from the windshield wipers.
• When lighting is weak due to dirt covering the headlight lenses, or there is poor visibility in a dark place due to the headlights being improperly adjusted.
• An abnormal tire or wheel condition (incorrect sizes, varied sizes or construction, improperly inflated, compact spare tire, etc.).
• The suspension has been modified.

• A vehicle suddenly crosses in front of you.
• The interval between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead of you is too short.
• When the vehicle ahead of you blends in with the background, preventing the system from recognizing it.
• The headlights of the vehicle ahead of you are lit on one side or not lit on either side in a dark place.

• A vehicle ahead of you stops and the speed difference between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead of you is significantly large.
• When the vehicle ahead of you slows suddenly.
• When a vehicle ahead of you is specially-shaped.
• When a vehicle is lower in the rear than the front such as trucks that are not carrying a load, or a narrow vehicle.
  
  
• When your vehicle or the vehicle ahead of you is driving on the edge of the lane.
• When the vehicle ahead of you is a narrow vehicle such as a motorcycle.
• When the minimum ground clearance of a vehicle ahead of you is extremely high.
• When the camera cannot correctly identify the shape of the vehicle ahead of you.

Increase or decrease the vehicle speed using the RES/+/SET/−switch on the steering wheel.

• Each time you press the RES/+/SET/− switch up or down, the vehicle speed is increased or decreased by about 1 mph or 1 km/h accordingly.
• If you keep the RES/+/SET/− switch pressed up or down, the vehicle speed increases or decreases by about 5 mph or 5 km/h accordingly.

Detail

If a vehicle detected ahead is going at a speed slower than your increased set speed, ACC with Low Speed Follow may not accelerate your vehicle. This is to maintain the set interval between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead.

When you depress the accelerator pedal and then press down and release the RES/+/SET/−switch, the current speed of the vehicle is set.

The higher your vehicle’s following-speed is, the longer the nearest, mid, far or furthest following-interval becomes. See the following examples for your reference.

Following-interval	When the Set Speed is:
	50 mph (80 km/h)	65 mph (104 km/h)
Nearest		87.3 feet 26.6 meters 1.2 sec	110.6 feet 33.7 meters 1.2 sec
Mid		113.4 feet 34.6 meters 1.6 sec	147.2 feet 44.9 meters 1.6 sec
Far		144.2 feet 44.0 meters 2.0 sec	187.3 feet 57.1 meters 2.0 sec
Furthest		175.9 feet 53.6 meters 2.4 sec	229.6 feet 70.0 meters 2.4 sec

When your vehicle stops automatically because a vehicle detected ahead of you has stopped, the interval between the two vehicles will vary based on the ACC with Low Speed Follow interval setting.

Detail

The Vehicle Stability Assist^TM (VSA^®) system, Vehicle Stability Assist^TM (VSA^®) OFF, Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), low tire pressure/TPMS* and safety support indicators may come on in amber along with a message in the gauge when you set the power mode to ON after reconnecting the battery.
Drive a short distance at more than 12 mph (20 km/h).
Each indicator should go off. If any do not, have your vehicle checked by a dealer.

You can switch the displayed set speed measurements on the driver information interface or audio/information screen between mph and km/h.

Detail

If the vehicle ahead of you slows down abruptly, or if another vehicle cuts in front of you, a beeper sounds, a message appears on the driver information interface.

Depress the brake pedal, and keep an appropriate interval from the vehicle ahead.

Even if the interval between your vehicle and the vehicle detected ahead is short, ACC may start accelerating your vehicle under the following circumstances:

• The vehicle 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, gradually increasing the interval between the vehicles.

You can also set the system to beep when a vehicle in front of you comes in and goes out of the ACC detecting range. A vehicle detect beep on and off can be selected.

Limitations

You may need to use the brake to maintain a safe interval when using ACC. Additionally, ACC may not work properly under certain conditions.

• ACC may temporarily control the interval between your vehicle and the vehicle in adjacent lane or surroundings of your vehicle depending on the road conditions (e.g. curves) or vehicle conditions (e.g. operating the steering wheel or the vehicle location in the lane).
  

  

• When the vehicle ahead of you moves away, such as when entering an interchange or rest area, ACC may continue to maintain the set following-interval for a short time.

ACC monitors if a vehicle ahead of you enters the ACC range. If a vehicle is detected doing so, the ACC system maintains or decelerates your vehicle’s set speed in order to keep the vehicle’s set following-interval from the vehicle ahead.

The system may automatically shut off under certain conditions. Some examples of these conditions are listed below. Other conditions may reduce some of the ACC functions.

• Driving in bad weather (rain, fog, snow, etc.).
• Sudden changes between light and dark, such as the entrance or exit of a tunnel or the shadows of trees, buildings, etc.
• Strong light is reflected onto vehicles or road surfaces.
• Water is sprayed by or snow blown from a vehicle ahead.
• Driving at night or in a dark place such as a tunnel (due to low-light conditions, the whole vehicle may not be illuminated).
• Driving into low sunlight (e.g., at dawn or dusk).

• Driving on curvy, winding, undulating, or sloping roads.
  
  
• Driving on rutted roads (snowy or unpaved roads, etc.).
• Puddles or a film of water is on the road surface.
• Your vehicle is strongly shaken on uneven road surfaces.

• The vehicle is tilted due to heavy load in the trunk or rear seats.
• Tire chains are installed.
• The front of the camera is covered by dirt, fog, rain, mud, wet snow, seals, accessories, stickers, or film of the windshield.
• Driving at night or in a dark place (e.g., a tunnel) with the headlights off.
• There is residue on the windshield from the windshield wipers.
• When lighting is weak due to dirt covering the headlight lenses, or there is poor visibility in a dark place due to the headlights being improperly adjusted.
• An abnormal tire or wheel condition (incorrect sizes, varied sizes or construction, improperly inflated, compact spare tire*, etc.).
• The suspension has been modified.

• A vehicle suddenly crosses in front of you.
• The interval between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead of you is too short.
• When the vehicle ahead of you blends in with the background, preventing the system from recognizing it.
• The headlights of the vehicle ahead of you are lit on one side or not lit on either side in a dark place.

• A vehicle ahead of you stops and the speed difference between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead of you is significantly large.
• When the vehicle ahead of you slows suddenly.
• When a vehicle ahead of you is specially-shaped.
• When a vehicle is lower in the rear than the front such as trucks that are not carrying a load, or a narrow vehicle.
  
  
• When your vehicle or the vehicle ahead of you is driving on the edge of the lane.
• When the vehicle ahead of you is a narrow vehicle such as a motorcycle.
• When the minimum ground clearance of a vehicle ahead of you is extremely high.
• When the camera cannot correctly identify the shape of the vehicle ahead of you.

Increase or decrease the vehicle speed using the RES/+/SET/−switch on the steering wheel.

• Each time you press the RES/+/SET/− switch up or down, the vehicle speed is increased or decreased by about 1 mph or 1 km/h accordingly.
• If you keep the RES/+/SET/− switch pressed up or down, the vehicle speed increases or decreases by about 5 mph or 5 km/h accordingly.

Detail

If a vehicle detected ahead is going at a speed slower than your increased set speed, ACC may not accelerate your vehicle. This is to maintain the set interval between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead.

When you depress the accelerator pedal and then press down and release the RES/+/SET/−switch, the current speed of the vehicle is set.

The higher your vehicle’s following-speed is, the longer the nearest, mid, far or furthest following-interval becomes. See the following examples for your reference.

Following-interval	When the Set Speed is:
	50 mph (80 km/h)	65 mph (104 km/h)
Nearest		87.3 feet 26.6 meters 1.2 sec	110.6 feet 33.7 meters 1.2 sec

Not all signs may be displayed, but any signs posted on roadsides should not be ignored. The system does not work on the designated traffic signs of all the countries you travel, nor in all situations.
Do not rely too much on the system. Always drive at speeds appropriate for the road conditions.

Never apply a film or attach any objects to the windshield 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.

The traffic sign recognition system is not activated for about 15 seconds after the engine starts.

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

You can turn the traffic sign recognition system on and off.

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.

If your vehicle exceeds the detected speed limit, an icon representing the speed limit sign for the current area will blink in the display.

The system’s ability to accurately notify the driver of the speed limit is dependent on certain conditions such as the units displayed on the traffic sign as well as the speed and direction of travel of the vehicle. In some cases, the system may display false warnings or other inaccurate information.

The unit for speed limits (mph or km/h) varies from country to country. Just after entering a country whose unit differs to the one of the country from which you came, Traffic Sign Recognition System may not work correctly.

The sign icon also may switch to another one, or disappear when:

• The end of speed limit or other designated limit is detected.
• You make a turn with a turn signal at an intersection.

The traffic sign recognition system may not be able to recognize a traffic sign in the following cases.

Detail

When the traffic sign recognition system malfunctions, appears on the gauge. If this message does not disappear, have your vehicle checked by a dealer.

• Driving into low sunlight (e.g., at dawn or dusk).
• Strong light is reflected onto the roadway.

• Sudden changes between light and dark, such as the entrance or exit of a tunnel or the shadows of trees, buildings, etc.
• Water is sprayed by or snow blown from a vehicle ahead.

• Your vehicle is strongly shaken on uneven road surfaces.

• When lighting is weak due to dirt covering the headlight lenses, or there is poor visibility in a dark place due to the headlights being improperly adjusted.
• The front of the camera is covered by dirt, fog, rain, mud, wet snow, seals, accessories, stickers, or film on the windshield.
• There is residue on the windshield from the windshield wipers.
• An abnormal tire or wheel condition (incorrect sizes, varied sizes or construction, improperly inflated, compact spare tire*, etc.).
• The vehicle is tilted due to heavy load in the trunk or rear seats.
• The suspension has been modified.
• Tire chains* are installed.
• Driving at night or in a dark place (e.g., a tunnel) with the headlights off.

• The sign is in a place that makes it hard to find.
• The sign is located far away from your vehicle.
• The sign is located where it is hard for headlight beams to reach.
• The sign is on a corner or bend in the road.
• The sign is faded or bent.
• The sign is rotated or damaged signs.
• The sign is covered with mud, snow, or frost.
• Part of the sign is hidden by the trees, or is in the shadow of a vehicle or other object.

• The sign is too bright or too dark (electric signs).
• Small signs (auxiliary signs, etc.).

• When you are driving at a high speed.

The traffic sign recognition system may not operate correctly, such as displaying signs that do not adhere to the actual regulations for the roadway or do not exist at all in the following cases.

• A speed limit sign may display at a higher or lower speed than the actual speed limit.

• There is a supplementary sign with further information such as weather, time, vehicle type, school zone, etc.
• Figures on the sign are hard to read (electric signs, numbers on the sign are blurred, etc.).
• The sign is in the vicinity of the lane you are driving in, even though it is not for the lane, such as a speed limit sign situated at an exit or an intersection between the side road and the main road.
• There are things that look similar in color or shape to recognized objects (similar sign, electric sign, signboard, structure, etc.).

The speed limit sign icon is displayed on the screen.

* Not available on all models

The camera, used in systems such as Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS), Road Departure Mitigation system, Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with Low Speed Follow*/Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)*, Traffic Sign Recognition system, CMBS^TM, and Traffic Jam Assist*, is designed to detect an object that triggers any of the systems to operate their functions.

Detail

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.

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 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 or poor viewing conditions. message appears:

• Park your vehicle in a safe place, and make sure the windshield is clean.
  Clean the windshield if it is dirty. If the message does not disappear after driven for a while, have your vehicle checked by a dealer.
