Front Sensor Camera

The camera, used in systems such as Collision Mitigation Braking System^TM (CMBS^TM), Road Departure Mitigation system, Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with Low Speed Follow, Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS), Traffic Jam Assist, Traffic Sign Recognition system, and Auto High-Beam, is designed to detect an object that triggers any of the systems to operate their functions.

Detail

Never apply a film or attach any objects to the windshield, the hood, or the front grille that could obstruct the camera’s field of vision and cause the system to operate abnormally.
Scratches, nicks, and other damage to the windshield within the camera’s field of vision can cause the system to operate abnormally. If this occurs, we recommend that you replace the windshield with a genuine Honda replacement windshield. Making even minor repairs within the camera’s field of vision or installing an aftermarket replacement windshield may also cause the system to operate abnormally.
After replacing the windshield, have a dealer recalibrate the camera. Proper calibration of the camera is necessary for the system to operate properly.

Do not place an object on the top of the instrument panel. It may reflect onto the windshield and prevent the system from detecting lane lines properly.

If the Some driver assist systems cannot operate: Camera temperature too high message appears:

• Use the climate control system to cool down the interior and, if necessary, also use defroster mode with the airflow directed towards the camera.
• Start driving the vehicle to lower the windshield temperature, which cools down the area around the camera.

If the Some driver assist systems cannot operate: Clean front windshield or poor viewing condition. message appears:

• Park your vehicle in a safe place, and make sure the windshield is clean.
  Clean the windshield if it is dirty. If the message does not disappear after driven for a while, have your vehicle checked by a dealer.
