What is Honda Sensing?

According to CNET, Honda Sensing has “now been fitted to 1 million vehicles.” If you’re still wondering, “What is Honda Sensing?” Straub Honda is here to help and explain why it’s so popular around Triadelphia and beyond. The Honda Sensing package is an exceptional safety suite standard on select new Honda vehicles, such as the 2021 Honda Pilot and Honda Accord. With Honda Sensing technology at your fingertips, you feel more confident wherever you go.

Honda Sensing includes several top-of-the-line technologies to help keep you safe and aware of your surroundings on your Wheeling drives, such as:

• Road Departure Mitigation System (RDM): Uses a small camera to detect road markings and alerts you if you begin to leave the road.
• Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS): Automatically applies the brake if a collision with a straight-ahead vehicle seems imminent.
• Traffic Sign Recognition (TSR): Uses a camera to detect and alert you of any speed limit signs.
• Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC): Helps you maintain a preset and safe following distance.
• Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS): Automatically adjusts the steering to bring you back to the center of the lane if you begin to drift into other lanes.

Can you turn off the Honda Sensing features if you want to? To turn off RDM, simply press a button under ECON. LKS can also be turned off. Just push the MAIN switch on the steering wheel until the instrument cluster indicators show off. Moundsville drivers can also configure Honda Sensing settings using the optional central touchscreen. Click on “Settings,” “Vehicle Settings,” and then “Drive Assist Setup.” which allows you to vary RDM warnings, distance warnings for CMBS, and much more.
