What is Honda Sensing?

In a nutshell, Honda Sensing is a suite of safety and driver-assist technologies designed to alert you to things you might miss while driving. It doesn't just protect you; it also safeguards pedestrians, other drivers, and even objects around your vehicle.

Key Features of Honda Sensing

• Collision Mitigation Braking System™ (CMBS™): Using sophisticated radar and camera data, this system can sense the possibility of a collision with a vehicle in front. If it determines an unavoidable collision is about to occur, it will apply brake pressure automatically.
• Road Departure Mitigation System (RDM): If you're drifting too close to the side of your lane without signaling, the RDM will alert you and can even provide necessary steering assistance to help keep you on track.
• Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC): This is not your average cruise control system. ACC lets you set a desired speed and following interval from the vehicle ahead of you. If it detects the vehicle in front of you is going slower than your set speed, it will slow down and maintain a safe following distance, adjusting as needed.
• Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS): If your vehicle begins to stray from the center of a detected lane without signaling, LKAS will gently correct steering to help guide you back to the middle of your lane.
• Traffic Sign Recognition (TSR): Driving in unfamiliar areas? TSR has your back. It uses a camera to detect speed limit signs and displays the information on the Driver Information Interface or the Head-Up Display.

Why Should Drivers Care?

While all drivers should strive for vigilance and attention, it's undeniable that long drives, hectic days, and mere human nature can lead to moments of distraction or oversight. Honda Sensing technologies act as an extra set of eyes, helping to ensure those brief lapses don't result in dire consequences.

Moreover, these features aren't just about preventing collisions. They're also about reducing the stress of driving. Features like Adaptive Cruise Control can make long highway commutes or road trips substantially more comfortable.

The Future of Honda Sensing

While the current suite is already impressive, Honda continues to invest in research and development, promising even more refined and expanded driver-assistive technologies in the future. This commitment ensures that Honda vehicles remain at the cutting edge of safety technology.

Here at Phil Long Honda, we believe that understanding the technology in your vehicle can make every journey safer and more enjoyable. Honda Sensing is a testament to Honda's dedication to not just driver convenience, but more importantly, to the safety of everyone on the road. So, the next time you're behind the wheel of a Honda equipped with this suite, take a moment to appreciate the advanced technology working tirelessly to keep you safe.
