3 Advanced Safety Features in the 2025 Honda Lineup

Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS)

CMBS activates when you’re traveling over 3 mph. It uses a camera and radar to scan the road ahead for vehicles, pedestrians, animals, or solid objects. The radar measures the distance to the potential hazard and compares this to your present speed. If CMBS determines there’s a collision risk, you’ll hear warning beeps, and a warning icon will appear on your front screen to alert you to the danger.

This system precharges the brakes, making them faster and more responsive if you step on the brake pedal. If you’re unable to apply the brakes in time, CMBS automatically applies hard braking to stop your Honda almost instantly. This can prevent an accident or reduce the damage caused by a collision.

Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS)

LKAS uses a tiny, forward-facing camera mounted on the rearview mirror. The camera searches for lane line markings on the road, and once they’re identified, LKAS will work to keep your Honda safely positioned in the center of your lane. It works at speeds between 45 mph and 90 mph and can detect both yellow and white road markings.

If you’re not actively steering and your vehicle strays toward the lane line boundaries, LKAS provides visual and audio warnings that you’re about to leave the lane. LKAS will then use the power steering system to gently nudge your vehicle back into the center of the lane. If your turn indicator is active or you’re steering to change lanes, this system temporarily deactivates warnings until you’re positioned in your new lane.

Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)

The ACC system allows you to select a following distance from other vehicles, from short, medium, or long distances. Once you’ve selected your preference, you can set your speed, and ACC will maintain the speed and distance until you intervene. If a vehicle ahead slows down, ACC will apply the brakes to slow your Honda.

Low Speed Follow is installed on some Honda models, and this feature will stop your vehicle if a car ahead stops, then resume driving once the vehicle ahead moves off again. ACC uses radar to measure and maintain following distances and a camera to keep your vehicle safely in its lane. You can disengage ACC at any time by tapping the brake pedal or turning it off using the controls on your steering wheel.
