What is Honda Sensing?

If you have been shopping the Honda lineup, you’ve probably seen the words “Honda Sensing” more than a few times. What is Honda Sensing? It is an advanced safety suite that comes standard on a majority of new Honda models. With Honda Sensing, you can drive with confidence around Muscle Shoals or on a road trip that takes you well beyond The Shoals. Greenway Honda of Florence explains how this system can provide you with peace of mind. 

Honda Sensing Features

The purpose of the Honda Sensing safety suite is to help drivers be more aware of their surroundings, whether that’s on the roads of Tuscumbia or during your next family road trip. Here are features you can expect on select models with Honda Sensing equipped: 

• Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS)— If a frontal collision seems imminent, this feature helps brake the car. 
• Road Departure Mitigation System (RDM)— A small camera detects road markings, and if you start to veer off the road, this feature will send you an alert. 
• Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)— This feature helps you maintain a preset following distance. 
• Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS)— If you start to drift from your lane, this feature automatically adjusts steering to bring you back to the center of the lane.
• Traffic Sign Recognition (TSR)— A camera detects road signs and will alert you to speed limit signs. 

While all of these features work hard to keep you aware of potential dangers, none are a replacement for paying attention to the road.

Can You Turn Off Honda Sensing?

What if you do not want to use these features all the time? You may be asking, “Can you turn off Honda Sensing? The answer is yes! Honda Sensing features can be turned off. If you do not want to use 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 also have the opportunity to configure Honda Sensing settings via the optional central touchscreen. To do so, select “Settings,” “Vehicle Settings,” and then “Drive Assist Setup.” Here you can change RDM warnings, distance warnings for CMBS, and more. 

Can Honda Sensing Be Added by a Dealer? 

If your vehicle does not come with Honda Sensing, unfortunately it cannot be added later by the dealership. Honda Sensing requires specific hardware that’s assembled with the car at the factory. Most recent models have been outfitted with Honda Sensing, though, so if you’re looking around for a new daily driver in Northern Alabama, maybe it’s time to upgrade?
