Honda CR-V: Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS) / The LKAS Conditions and Limitations
The system may not detect lane markings and therefore may not keep the
vehicle in
the middle of a lane under certain conditions, including the following:
Environmental conditions
- Driving in bad weather (rain, fog, snow, etc.).
- Sudden changes between light and dark, such as an entrance or exit of a
tunnel.
- There is little contrast between lane lines and the roadway surface.
- Driving into low sunlight (e.g., at dawn or dusk).
- Strong light is reflected onto the roadway.
- Driving in the shadows of trees, buildings, etc.
- Shadows of adjacent objects are parallel to lane markings.
- Roadway objects or structures are misinterpreted as lane markings.
- Reflections on the interior of the front windshield.
Roadway conditions
- Driving on a snowy or wet roadway (obscured lane marking, vehicle tracks,
reflected lights, road spray, high contrast).
- Driving on a road with temporary lane markings.
- Faint, multiple, or varied lane markings are visible on the roadway due
to road
repairs or old lane markings.
- The roadway has merging, split, or crossing lines (e.g., such as at an
intersection
or crosswalk).
- The lane markings are extremely narrow, wide, or changing.
- The vehicle in front of you is driving near the lane lines.
- The road is hilly or the vehicle is approaching the crest of a hill.
- Driving on rough or unpaved roads, or over bumpy surfaces.
- When objects on the road (curb, guard rail, pylons, etc.) are recognized
as white
lines (or yellow lines).
- When driving on roads with double lines.
Vehicle conditions
- Headlight lenses are dirty or the headlights are not properly adjusted.
- The outside of the windshield is streaked or blocked by dirt, mud,
leaves, wet
snow, etc.
- The inside of the windshield is fogged.
- The camera temperature gets too high.
- An abnormal tire or wheel condition (wrong sized, varied size or
construction,
improperly inflated, compact spare tire, etc.).
- The vehicle is tilted due to a heavy load or suspension modifications.
- The vehicle is towing a trailer.
To cancel the LKAS:
Press the MAIN or LKAS button.
The LKAS is turned off every time you stop the
engine, even if you turned it on the last time
you drove the vehicle...
VSA® helps to stabilize the vehicle during cornering if the vehicle turns
more or less
than what was intended. It also assists in maintaining traction on slippery
surfaces...
Other information:
If a tire goes flat while driving, grasp the steering wheel firmly, and brake
gradually
to reduce speed. Then stop in a safe place. Replace the flat tire with a compact
spare
tire. Go to a dealer as soon as possible to have the full-size tire repaired or
replaced...
Keeps the brake applied after releasing the brake pedal until the accelerator
pedal is
pressed. You can use this system while the vehicle is temporarily stopped, like
at
traffic lights and in heavy traffic.
WARNING
Activating the automatic brake hold system
on steep hills or slippery roads may still
allow the vehicle to move if you remove
your foot from the brake pedal...
