What is Honda Sensing®?

Honda vehicles are known for their reliability and safety, and one of the main contributors to that is the Honda Sensing®. Available on all Honda models, this suite of advanced safety and driver-assistive technology gives you an added peace of mind whenever you cruise around town. This brand-exclusive suite has your back covered during your drives in Portland and Scarborough. Find out more below.

What are the Honda Sensing® Features? 

The Honda Sensing® suite consists of these standard features: 

• Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS) — Helps brake the car if a collision with a straight-ahead vehicle seems likely. 
• Road Departure Mitigation System (RDM) — Uses a small camera to detect road markings and will alert you if you begin to leave the road. 
• Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) — Helps you maintain 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) — Uses a camera to detect and alert you to speed limit signs. 

Depending on which Honda model you’re interested in driving around Kennebunk, you might be able to add any of the optional Honda Sensing® features: Blind Spot Information System, Cross Traffic Monitor, and Auto High-Beam Headlights.

Can You Turn Off Honda Sensing®?

What if you want to turn off these features? Is it even possible? Yes, you can turn them off! 

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. 

Another way to go about this is by configuring Honda Sensing® settings 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.
