All About Honda Sensing® in New Honda Models

Confidence comes standard in new Honda models thanks to Honda Sensing®. This suite of advanced safety and driver-assistive technologies is designed to enhance awareness, help avoid collisions and provide peace of mind on the road. Whether you’re commuting through Newport News or embarking on a weekend getaway, it keeps an extra set of eyes on the road, ensuring every drive is as secure as it is enjoyable. Casey Honda is proud to offer models equipped with this innovative safety technology.

What is Honda Sensing®?

Whether you’re shopping for a new SUV like the Honda CR-V or a sedan like the Honda Accord, you’ll be happy to hear that every vehicle in our showroom comes standard with Honda Sensing®. This suite of next-generation safety technologies enhances driver awareness of their surroundings and prompts the driver to take action to prevent dangerous situations. And in some cases, the vehicle itself will automatically act.

Are Honda Sensing® Features “Active” or “Passive”?

This is an important distinction to understand. The features in Honda Sensing® are “active” because they are sensor-based systems that are “always on”, analyzing the vehicle’s surroundings and constantly working to keep you alert and safe. On the other hand, “passive” safety technologies are those which do not play their part unless a collision occurs. Examples include seat belts, airbags, and the vehicle’s Honda-exclusive ACE™ body structure.

What are Some Examples of Honda Sensing Features?

Visit Casey Honda and we’ll introduce you to the features that comprise Honda Sensing®, such as:

Collision Mitigation Braking System™ (CMBS™): this system uses radar and camera technology to detect potential collisions. In some instances, the system can also apply the brakes to help avoid or mitigate a collision.

Road Departure Mitigation System™ (RDM™): RDM™ uses a camera to monitor the outermost lane markings. If it senses that the car is about to leave the road without the turn signal being deployed, it will provide steady steering assistance to move the vehicle back into its lane.

Adaptive Cruise Control™ (ACC™): especially valuable on the highway, ACC™ helps your vehicle maintain a safe following distance from the car in front of you. Our Newport News, VA Honda dealers will show you how easy it is to set up this system.

Lane-Keeping Assist System™ (LKAS™) is another camera-based technology that detects lane markings and provides steering assistance to keep the car in its lane if it starts to drift.

Traffic Sign Recognition (TSR™): uses a small camera to notify drivers of the posted speed limit. This information is displayed on the car’s instrument panel.

Cross-Traffic Monitor™ (CTM™; available on select models): while the car is in reverse, CTM™ alerts the driver if another vehicle is approaching from the side. This alert is delivered in a series of beeps and indicators on the vehicle’s rearview camera display.
