Honda CR-V: 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
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.
The front camera behind the rearview mirror
monitors left and right lane markings (in white
or yellow). If your vehicle is getting too close
to detected lane markings without a turn
signal activated, the system, in addition to a
visual alert, applies steering torque and alerts
you with rapid vibrations on the steering
wheel, to help you remain within the detected
lane...
Press the RDM button to turn the system on
and off.
The indicator in the button comes on and
the message appears on the driver
information interface when the system is
on...
Other information:
Regularly check the condition of your seat belts as follows:
Pull each belt out fully, and look for frays, cuts, burns, and wear.
Check that the latch plates and buckles work smoothly and the belts
retract
easily.
If a belt does not retract easily, cleaning the belt may correct the
problem...
The life of your tires is dependent on many factors, including driving habits,
road
conditions, vehicle loading, inflation pressure, maintenance history, speed, and
environmental conditions (even when the tires are not in use).
In addition to regular inspections and inflation pressure maintenance, it is
recommended that you have annual inspections performed once the tires reach five
years old...
