What is Honda Sensing?

Looking at the list of features on a new Honda model and wondering, “What is Honda Sensing®?” Honda Sensing® is a safety package that can be found on popular Honda staples like the 2021 Honda Accord and 2021 Honda Pilot. With Honda Sensing®, you can drive more confidently in Arlington, knowing the system has your back—as well as your front and side.

What’s Included in the Honda Sensing® Package?

You stay aware of your surroundings on Memphis roads with Honda Sensing® features several technologies like:

• Collision Mitigation Braking System™ (CMBS)—helps put the brakes on if a collision with a straight-ahead vehicle seems likely.
• Road Departure Mitigation System (RDM)—a small camera detects road markings and will alert you if you begin to leave the road.
• Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)—maintain a preset following distance with this system.
• 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)—uses a camera to detect and alert you to speed limit signs.

Honda Sensing® Reviews

What is Honda Sensing® to car experts? The folks at JD Power have surveyed Honda Sensing®, and they have plenty of great things to say! They particularly singled out praise for the switch from the camera-based blindspot system to a sophisticated radar on the blind-spot warning and rear cross-traffic alert systems.

If you’re looking for other Honda Sensing® reviews, read the literature from Edmunds on the latest Honda Civic, where they praise the standard safety features as one of the big selling points of this sedan.

Can You Turn Off Honda Sensing®?

Turning off Honda Sensing is a snap. 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. You can also customize the Honda Sensing® settings via the optional central touchscreen. Hit “Settings,” “Vehicle Settings,” and then “Drive Assist Setup.” Then you are able to change RDM warnings, distance warnings for CMBS, and more. If you run into any issues personalizing your Honda Sensing system, schedule a service appointment with one of our technicians!
