About Traffic Sign Recognition System
While driving, road signs (such as speed limit signs) detected by the front sensor camera are displayed on the gauge to inform you of road sign information.
When the camera detects traffic signs while the vehicle is being driven, the system displays recognized signs in your vehicle for a programmed time and distance. If a speed limit sign (
) is detected and the vehicle exceeds the speed limit by a programmed threshold, the speed limit sign icon will blink.
- If the system does not detect any traffic signs while you are driving, the sign icon will not be displayed.
- Not all signs may be displayed, but any signs posted on roadsides should not be ignored.
The system does not work on the designated traffic signs of all the countries you travel, nor in all situations. Do not rely too much on the system. Always drive at speeds appropriate for the road conditions. - Never apply a film or attach any objects to the windshield 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.
- If the system does not detect any traffic signs while you are driving, the sign icon will not be displayed.
- To help reduce the likelihood that high interior temperatures will cause the camera’s sensing system to shut off, find a shady area or face the front of the vehicle away from the sun when parking. If you use a reflective sun shade, do not allow it to cover the camera housing. Covering the camera can concentrate heat on it.
- The system’s ability to accurately notify the driver of the speed limit is dependent on certain conditions such as the units displayed on the traffic sign as well as the speed and direction of travel of the vehicle. In some cases, the system may display false warnings or other inaccurate information.
You can turn the Traffic Sign Recognition System on and off.
If your vehicle exceeds the detected speed limit, an icon representing the speed limit sign for the current area will blink in the display.
The unit for speed limits (mph or km/h) varies from country to country. Just after entering a country whose unit differs from the one of the country from which you came, The Traffic Sign Recognition System may not work correctly.
