n Brake Assist System
Designed to assist the driver by generating greater braking force when you
depress the brake pedal hard during emergency braking.
Press the brake pedal firmly for more powerful braking. When brake assist
operates, the pedal may wiggle slightly and an operating noise may be
heard. This is normal. Keep holding the brake pedal firmly down.
n
Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS)
During hard or emergency braking, the system rapidly pumps the brakes to
prevent wheel lockup and help you maintain steering control. Do not pump
the brake pedal, rather continue to hold it firmly down.
The electronic brake distribution (EBD) system, which is part of the ABS,
also balances the front-to-rear braking distribution according to vehicle
loading.
When ABS activates, you may notice vibrations through the brake pedal or
the vehicle body, the brake pedal depressing further than usual, or hear a
motor noise from the engine compartment. These are all normal.
The ABS may not function correctly if you use an incorrect tire type and
size.
Ambient Meter
The color of the ambient meter changes to green to indicate that the vehicle is
being driven in a fuel efficient manner.

Vehicle Stability Assist
™
(VSA
®
) System
Helps to stabilize the vehicle during
cornering if the vehicle turns more or less
than what was intended. It assists in
maintaining traction on slippery surfaces
by regulating engine output and selectively
applying the brakes. VSA is also known as
Electronic Stability Control (ESC).
n Turning the System On or Off
The button is on the driver side control
panel.
To partially disable VSA
®
functionality/
features, press and hold it until you
hear a beep. Your vehicle will have
normal braking and cornering ability,
but traction control function will be less
effective.
VSA
®
is turned on every time you start
the engine, even if you turned it off the last time you drove the vehicle.
Honda Sensing
®
A driver support system which employs the
use of two distinctly different kinds of
sensors, a radar sensor located in the
lower bumper next to the fog light
*1
and a
front sensor camera mounted to the interior
side of the windshield, behind the rearview
mirror.
These are the components of Honda
Sensing
®
:
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with Low
Speed Follow
*1
: Helps maintain a constant
vehicle speed and a set following-interval
behind a vehicle detected ahead of yours
and, if the detected vehicle comes to a
stop, can decelerate and stop your vehicle, without you having to keep your foot
on the brake or the accelerator.
