Collision Mitigation Braking System™ 

With an array of cameras and sensors in place, the Honda Sensing® Collision Mitigation Braking System™ can help prevent frontal collisions with early detection. When the system determines that a frontal collision with a vehicle or pedestrian is unavoidable, the Collision Mitigation Braking System™ will automatically apply the brakes.

Road Departure Mitigation System 

The Road Departure Mitigation System will track and monitor your position within a lane of traffic and when a lane deviation occurs without the use of the turn signal, the Road Departure Mitigation System will alert you and can adjust your steering response and your brakes.

Adaptive Cruise Control with Low-Speed Follow

Lane Keeping Assist System

When you are on long family road trips and you get tired or you are faced with windy conditions, it can be difficult to stay in your lane. The Lane Keeping Assist System has the ability to detect a lane deviation with a small camera and will provide subtle steering adjustments to keep you centered in your lane.

Equipped with a small camera that monitors road signs, the Honda Sensing® Traffic Sign Recognition system will detect road signs and display the relevant information on your vehicle information display or Honda Head-Up Display.
