What is Honda Sensing®?

Honda Sensing® is an intelligent system of safety technologies available in models like the Honda Odyssey and Honda HR-V. It helps you stay aware of your surroundings and avoid potential hazards. Whether you’re navigating the busy roads of Charleston or driving through the quieter streets of Socastee, the system uses radar, cameras, and sensors to provide a 360-degree view of the road, alerting you to unexpected obstacles and even assisting with braking, steering, and lane maintenance.

Key Features of Honda Sensing® Available on All Honda Vehicles

Collision Mitigation Braking System™ (CMBS™)

CMBS™, available in the Honda CR-V and Honda Accord, helps reduce the likelihood of a frontal collision by applying brake pressure when an unavoidable collision is detected. If you’re driving through Florence and the system senses a potential collision, it alerts the driver and can automatically apply the brakes to minimize impact, ensuring safer journeys throughout South Carolina.

Road Departure Mitigation System (RDM)

The RDM system, standard on models like the Honda Pilot and Honda Civic, monitors road markings and can detect if you’re unintentionally leaving your lane. It provides steering assistance to help keep you on the road and can apply brakes if necessary. This feature is especially helpful while driving through areas like Murrells Inlet, where winding roads and sudden lane shifts are common.

The Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS™) and Road Departure Mitigation System (RDM) are key safety features in the Honda Sensing® suite, designed to reduce collision risks and keep you safely in your lane.

Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)

ACC, found in the Honda Passport and Honda Odyssey, allows you to maintain a set speed while keeping a safe following distance from the vehicle in front of you. Whether you’re commuting from Bucksport or driving through Surfside Beach, ACC automatically adjusts your speed to maintain distance, resuming your set speed once traffic conditions improve.

Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) helps Honda vehicles maintain a safe following distance from detected vehicles, ensuring smoother and safer highway driving.

Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS)

LKAS, available on the Honda HR-V and Honda Accord, detects lane markings and provides gentle steering input to help keep you centered in your lane. If you’re traveling through Greenville on a long drive, this feature reduces driver fatigue and enhances safety by preventing unintentional lane drifting.

Traffic Sign Recognition (TSR)

TSR, available on the Honda CR-V and Honda Accord, uses a small camera to detect and recognize road signs, including speed limits, and displays the information on the driver’s display. Whether you’re driving through Garden City or heading to Burgess, this feature ensures that you stay aware of posted speed limits, reducing the chances of missing important road signs.

Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS) and Traffic Sign Recognition (TSR) work together to enhance safety by keeping the vehicle centered in its lane and notifying drivers of posted speed limits.

Forward Collision Warning (FCW)

Using a small camera mounted at the top of the front windshield, FCW scans the road ahead and can alert you to potential collisions with vehicles detected ahead. This feature, available in models like the Honda CR-V and Honda Pilot, provides visual and audio warnings to help you avoid an accident, whether you’re driving in busy Myrtle Beach streets or on the rural roads around Bucksport.

Lane Departure Warning (LDW)

LDW, featured in the Honda Odyssey and Honda Passport, detects when your vehicle is making an unintentional lane departure without a turn signal. If you start to drift from your lane, especially in areas like Surfside Beach, the system provides visual and audio alerts, allowing you to make corrections before leaving the road.

Additional Features Available on Select Honda Models

Blind Spot Information System (BSI)

Available on select models like the Honda CR-V and Honda Accord, the Blind Spot Information System helps you detect vehicles in your blind spots. When you’re navigating busy streets in Socastee or merging on highways near Wilmington, the system provides visual alerts if a vehicle is detected, ensuring safer lane changes.

The Blind Spot Information System alerts the driver when a vehicle is detected in the adjacent lane, enhancing safety during lane changes.

Cross Traffic Monitor

The Cross Traffic Monitor, featured in the Honda Pilot and Honda Odyssey, assists when you’re reversing out of parking spaces. Whether you’re backing out of a parking spot in Myrtle Beach or at a shopping center in Forestbrook, it detects vehicles approaching from either side and alerts you with an audible warning and visual signals on the rearview camera display.

The Cross Traffic Monitor alerts drivers to approaching vehicles from the side while reversing, enhancing parking safety.

Available in models like the Honda Civic and Honda CR-V, Auto High-Beam Headlights automatically switch between low and high beams depending on traffic conditions.
