Honda CR-V: Road Departure Mitigation (RDM) System / How the System Activates

Honda CR-V 2017-2026 Owner's Manual / Driving / When Driving / Road Departure Mitigation (RDM) System / How the System Activates

The system becomes ready to start searching for lane markings when all the following conditions are met:

The vehicle is traveling between about 45 and 90 mph (72 and 145 km/h).
The vehicle is on a straight or slightly curved road.
The turn signals are off.
The brake pedal is not depressed.
The wipers are not in continuous operation.
The system makes a determination that the driver is not actively accelerating, braking or steering.

The RDM system may automatically shut off and the Honda CR-V. How the System Activates indicator comes and stays on.

RDM system function can be impacted when the vehicle is:

Not driven within a traffic lane.
Driven on the inside edge of a curve, or outside of a lane.
Driven in a narrow lane.
