Safety first: A rundown of Honda Sensing features

MANILA: Honda’s “Safety for Everyone” global safety philosophy highlights the company’s commitment to a collision-free society. This is the cornerstone of technologies that are designed to keep drivers, passengers, and pedestrians safe while sharing the road. As a result, Honda Cars Philippines, Inc. (HCPI) currently offers a range of vehicles equipped with Honda Sensing,

Aside from the recently launched 11^th generation Civic that contains the latest version of Honda Sensing, given its application of the monocular camera while omitting the radar, the brand’s driver assist technologies are available on other models, including the CR-V, Accord, and Civic Type R.

Here is an in-depth description of every feature:

Collision Mitigation Braking System

Collision mitigation braking system (CMBS) assists the driver in preventing frontal collision or decreasing the impact of the vehicle when avoidable by giving the driver visual and audio warnings. When necessary, it will also activate the brakes automatically. Once the system or the driver has avoided a potential frontal collision, the alarm will be turned off.

Adaptive Cruise Control with Low-Speed Follow

Unlike other models’ standard cruise control, Honda’s adaptive cruise control (ACC) comes with low-speed follow (LSF), making highway drives more comfortable. ACC works to reduce driver and passenger fatigue by keeping a constant pace dependent on the vehicle in front. As a result, the system can conduct braking and acceleration as needed. LSF, on the other hand, makes it easier to drive along in stop-and-go traffic.

Lane Keeping Assist System

The lane keeping assist system (LKAS) works by assisting the driver in steering to keep the car well-positioned within its lane. When the vehicle leaves the lane without using turn signals, the steering wheel will vibrate and an icon will appear on the TFT.

Road Departure Mitigation System with Lane Departure Warning

Road departure mitigation (RDM) assists the driver in avoiding a collision by directing the vehicle back to the lane’s center. Lane departure warning (LDW), on the other hand, alerts the driver when the vehicle deviates from its intended path. When the driver leaves the lane without utilizing the turn signal lights, the system does this.

Auto High-Beam

The Honda Sensing package also comes with auto high-beam (AHB) for safer nighttime trips. When there are no other vehicles ahead, this feature automatically switches on the high beams. When encountering approaching traffic, it automatically lowers the beam.

Lead Car Departure Notification System

The lead car departure notification system (LCDN) is the newest addition to the Honda Sensing package. The LCDN, which was first seen on the 11^th generation Civic, informs the driver when the vehicle in front of them moves forward from a standstill.

The advanced driver-assist technologies not only help improve safety and convenience, but they also boost the driver’s confidence on the road, especially now that Honda Sensing is available on a wide range of models in the local lineup. This demonstrates Honda’s commitment to provide “Safety for Everyone.”
