What is Honda Sensing?

What is Honda Sensing, and why is it so popular? Honda Sensing is a safety and driver assist suite that comes on select new vehicles, such as the 2019 Honda Accord and 2019 Honda Pilot. With the advanced features in the Honda Sensing suite, you can drive more confidently in Irvine, knowing the system has your back—as well as your front and side.

What’s Included in the Honda Sensing Package?

Honda Sensing includes multiple technologies to keep you aware of what is going on around your vehicle while on the Tustin roads:

Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS)—helps apply the car’s brakes if a collision with a straight-ahead vehicle seems likely.
Road Departure Mitigation System (RDM)—detects road markings through a small camera, and will alert you if you begin to leave the road.
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)—allows you to keep a preset following distance.
Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS)—automatically adjusts steering to bring you back to the center of the lane if you begin to drift.
Traffic Sign Recognition (TSR)—detects and alerts you to speed limit signs through the use of a camera.

Can You Turn Off Honda Sensing?

Yes— Honda Sensing is there if you need and off when you don’t. If you want to turn off RDM, you can press a button under ECON. LKS can be turned off by pushing the MAIN button on the steering wheel until the indicators in the instrument cluster are gone.

Honda Sensing settings can also be configured via the optional central touchscreen. Hit “Settings,” “Vehicle Settings,” and then “Drive Assist Setup.” This allows you to change RDM warnings, distance warnings for CMBS, and more.
