Honda Civic Owners Manual: When in Operation
There is a vehicle ahead
ACC with LSF monitors if a vehicle ahead of you enters the ACC with LSF range. If a vehicle is detected doing so, the ACC with LSF system maintains or decelerates your vehicle's set speed in order to keep the vehicle's set following interval from the vehicle ahead.
When a vehicle whose speed is slower than your set speed is detected in front of you, your vehicle starts to slow down.
|
When in Operation If the vehicle ahead of you slows down abruptly, or if another vehicle cuts in front of you, the beeper sounds, a message appears on the driver information interface. Depress the brake pedal, and keep an appropriate interval from the vehicle ahead.
Even if the interval between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead is short, ACC with LSF may start accelerating your vehicle under the following circumstances:
You can also set the system to beep when a vehicle in front of you comes in and goes out of the ACC with LSF detecting range. Change the ACC Forward Vehicle Detect Beep setting. |
There is no vehicle ahead
Your vehicle maintains the set speed without having to keep your foot on the brake or accelerator pedal.
If there previously was a vehicle detected ahead that kept your vehicle from traveling at the set speed, ACC with LSF accelerates your vehicle to the set speed, and then maintains it.
When you depress the accelerator pedal
You can temporarily increase the vehicle speed. In this case, there is no audible or visual alert even if a vehicle is in the ACC with LSF range.
ACC with LSF stays on unless you cancel it. Once you release the accelerator pedal, the system resumes an appropriate speed for keeping the following interval while a vehicle ahead is within the ACC with LSF range.
A vehicle detected ahead is within ACC with LSF range and slows to a stop
Your vehicle also stops, automatically. The Stopped message appears on the driver information interface.
When the vehicle ahead of you starts again, the vehicle icon on the driver information interface blinks. If you press the RES/+ or -/ SET button, or depress the accelerator pedal, ACC with LSF operates again within the prior set speed.
