A Smarter Way to Drive: Honda Sensing Explained

At Jeremy Hodge Honda of Ardmore in Ardmore, OK, we know that safety matters to every driver, whether you’re driving down I-35, navigating city streets, or heading off on a weekend getaway. That’s why we’re proud to offer Honda Sensing across most new Honda models.

This guide to Honda Sensing breaks down each feature in the suite, what it does, how it works, and the real-world benefits of Honda’s advanced safety tech. From detecting road hazards to keeping you centered in your lane, these driver-assist systems use sensors and intelligent software to support safer, more confident driving.

Whether you’re shopping for a Honda CR-V, Accord, Civic, or Pilot, you’ll find Honda Sensing either standard or available on most trims. Let’s take a closer look at the key safety features that make up this technology suite.

What Is Honda Sensing?

Honda Sensing is a suite of active safety and driver-assist technologies designed to help drivers avoid accidents or lessen their impact. By using a combination of radar sensors, cameras, and intelligent control systems, Honda Sensing acts like a second set of eyes, and sometimes even hands, on the road.

These features constantly monitor your surroundings, offering gentle steering inputs, alerts, or braking intervention when necessary. The goal? To help reduce common causes of accidents like lane drift, tailgating, or driver distraction.

Key Honda Sensing Features

Here’s a breakdown of what’s included in the Honda Sensing suite and how each feature contributes to your safety:

• Collision Mitigation Braking System™ (CMBS™): If a potential frontal collision is detected, CMBS warns the driver and may automatically apply the brakes to reduce impact or avoid the crash.
• Road Departure Mitigation System (RDM): This system detects if you’re about to leave the road unintentionally and can provide steering assistance or braking to help keep you safely in your lane.
• Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC): It maintains a set following distance from the car ahead, automatically slowing down and speeding up as traffic conditions change.
• Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS): It provides subtle steering adjustments to help you stay centered in your lane during highway driving.
• Traffic Sign Recognition (TSR): This feature detects speed limit signs and displays them on your driver information interface to help you stay aware.
• Forward Collision Warning (FCW): It uses the same sensors as CMBS to warn you if a potential front-end collision is ahead.
• Lane Departure Warning (LDW): This feature alerts you with visual and audible signals if it detects you're drifting from your lane without signaling.

Each of these safety features works seamlessly with your vehicle’s assistance system to help prevent accidents before they happen, especially during highway travel, city traffic, or sudden stops.

Additional Honda Safety Systems

Many Honda vehicles also offer added technology beyond the standard Honda Sensing suite. These enhancements give drivers even more confidence and peace of mind:

• Blind Spot Information System (BSI): This feature alerts you when a vehicle is detected in your blind spot and may provide visual or audible warnings if you attempt to change lanes.
• Cross Traffic Monitor: Helpful when backing out of tight parking spaces, this feature warns you of approaching vehicles from the side.
• Driver Attention Monitor: It tracks driver behavior to detect drowsiness or distraction and issues an alert when it’s time to take a break.

These features are available on select Honda models and offer another layer of safety for families, commuters, and anyone who values alert driving support.
