uuHonda SensinguRoad Departure Mitigation System
Road Departure Mitigation System
Alerts and helps to assist you when the system detects a possibility of your vehicle
unintentionally crossing over detected lane markings or the edge of the pavement,
or leaving the roadway altogether.
1Road Departure Mitigation System
Important Safety Reminder
Like all assistance systems, the Road Departure
Mitigation system has limitations.
Over-reliance on the Road Departure Mitigation
system may result in a collision. It is always your
responsibility to keep the vehicle within your driving
lane.
How the System Works
■
The front camera behind the rearview mirror
monitors left and right lane markings (in white
or yellow) and the outer edge of the
The Road Departure Mitigation system only alerts you
when lane drift is detected without a turn signal in
use. The Road Departure Mitigation system may not
detect all lane markings or lane or roadway
departures; accuracy will vary based on weather,
speed and lane marker condition. It is always your
responsibility to safely operate the vehicle and avoid
collisions.
pavement (bordered by grass or gravel). If
your vehicle is getting too close to detected
lane markings or the outer edge of the
pavement (bordered by grass or gravel)
without a turn signal activated, the system, in
addition to a visual alert, applies steering
torque and alerts you with rapid vibrations on
the steering wheel, to help you remain within
the detected lane.
You can read about handling information for the
camera equipped with this system.
If the system determines that the vehicle is
about to veer off the edge of the pavement, it
will alert the driver with an audible warning
instead of steering wheel vibrations.

If the system determines that its steering input is insufficient to keep your vehicle on
the roadway, it may apply braking.

Narrow from the customised options using the driver
information interface, the message below will appear
if the system has determined that there is a possibility
of your vehicle crossing over detected lane markings
or the outer edge of the pavement (into grass or
gravel border). If you have selected Wide, however,
the message will only appear if the vehicle is about to
cross over the outer edge of the pavement.
The system cancels assisting operations when you turn the steering wheel to avoid
crossing over detected lane markings.
If the system operates several times without
detecting driver response, the system beeps to
alert you. After that, the warning to the left is
displayed and the Road Departure Mitigation
system is partially disabled.

• Sudden changes between light and dark, such as an entrance or exit of a tunnel.
• There is little contrast between lane lines and the roadway surface.
• Driving into low sunlight (e.g., at dawn or dusk).
• Strong light is reflected onto the roadway.
• Driving in the shadows of trees, buildings, etc.
• Shadows of adjacent objects are parallel to lane markings.
• Roadway objects or structures are misinterpreted as lane markers.
• Reflections on the interior of the windscreen.
• Driving at night or in a dark condition such as a tunnel.
• The outer edge of the pavement is bordered by objects, material etc. other than
grass or gravel.
