What’s Included in the Honda Sensing® Package?

If you want to learn what is Honda Sensing®, you’ll want to take a look at the advanced features of this technology suite and see how can help you stay aware of your surroundings on Methuen roads:

  • Collision Mitigation Braking System™ (CMBS)—helps brake the car if a collision with a straight-ahead vehicle seems likely.
  • Road Departure Mitigation System (RDM)—uses a small camera to detect road markings and will alert you if you begin to leave the road.
  • Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)—helps you maintain a preset following distance.
  • Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS)—automatically adjusts steering to bring you back to the center of the lane if you begin to drift.
  • Traffic Sign Recognition (TSR)—uses a camera to detect and alert you to speed limit signs.

Collision Mitigation Braking System™ (CMBS)

The Collision Mitigation Braking System uses radar sensor technology to detect an unavoidable forward collision and applies extra pressure to the brakes to mitigate the damage of the impact. Honda radar sensor technology can help determine pedestrian and vehicle collisions.¹

Collision Mitigation Braking System
Road Departure Mitigtation

Road Departure Mitigation System (RDM)

Road Departure Mitigation System uses sensors to measure your location in a lane of traffic. If your vehicle begins to drift from the lane without the turn signal activated, your Honda’s Road Departure Mitigation System can adjust steering and braking to make sure you stay in the correct lane.²

Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)

Unlike conventional cruise control technology, Honda Sensing®’s Adaptive Cruise Control sets an appropriate following distance to the vehicle in front, and reacts to the change in traffic speed by adjusting acceleration to maintain that set distance.³

Adaptive Cruise Control
Lane Keep Assist

Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS)

By measuring the distance between your vehicle’s trajectory and the lane dividers on either side of the vehicle, Lane Keeping Assist System can adjust your car’s speed and steering to stay centered in the lane of traffic. LKAS can also detect curves ahead in the road and adjust your vehicle’s trajectory to stay centered.⁴

Traffic Sign Recognition (TSR)

By using an intelligent camera programmed with Traffic Sign Recognition, your Honda can recognize traffic signs like speed limits as you drive and alerts you of the posted speed limit via the Head-Up display on the driver’s side dashboard.⁵

Traffic Sign Recognition

Can You Turn Off Honda Sensing®?

You might be asking yourself, “Is Honda Sensing® worth it if I don’t want to use these features all the time?” Yes—you can turn these features off. If you want to turn off Road Departure Mitigation™, you can press a button under ECON. Lane Keeping Assist System can be turned off by pushing the MAIN button on the steering wheel until the indicators in the instrument cluster are gone.⁶

You can also configure your Honda Sensing® CR-V or Accord settings via the optional central touchscreen. Hit “Settings,” “Vehicle Settings,” and then “Drive Assist Setup.” This allows you to change Road Departure Mitigation™ warnings, distance warnings for CMBS, and more.

If you need help modifying or turning off Honda Sensing®, schedule a service appointment with one of our reliable mechanics.

More Driver-Assistance Features From Honda

Now that we’ve answered your question “What is Honda Sensing®?”, you may wish to know about the other driver-assistance technology features available on select Honda models. Here’s a quick look at more advanced features you can add to your Honda:

Honda LaneWatch™

  • With Honda LaneWatch™, any time you signal right, the camera on the passenger-side mirror will turn on and display live video on your Display Audio Touch-Screen, revealing nearly four times more than the average passenger-side mirror.⁶

Blind Spot Information System

  • When your turn signal is on and a vehicle is detected in an adjacent lane, the indicator blinks and a beep sounds until the area is clear or the turn signal is off.⁷

Cross Traffic Monitor

  • When in reverse with the Multi-Angle Rearview Camera in any viewing mode, the driver is alerted to a detected vehicle approaching from the side with a series of beeps and indicators shown on the camera’s display.⁸

Auto High-Beam Headlights

  • When you are driving at night above 25 mph (40 km/h) and the headlight lever is in the low-beam position with the switch rotated to AUTO, the system intuitively changes between low and high beams depending on surrounding conditions. ⁹
