2018 Honda Ridgeline Owners Manual - Road Departure



Road Departure

Mitigation (RDM)*

Alerts and helps to assist you if the system determines a possibility of your vehicle unintentionally crossing over detected lane markings while driving between 45-90 mph (72-145 km/h).

If your vehicle is getting too close to detected lane markings without a turn signal activated, a message appears in the MID. Steering wheel torque and vibrations are applied to help your vehicle stay in the lane.

Braking may also be applied if the lane lines are solid and continuous.

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

Turning the System On or Off

Press the RDM button to turn the system on or off. A green indicator appears on the button when the system is on.

  1. From the HOME screen, select Settings.
