Honda Road Departure Mitigation System

What is Honda’s Road Departure Mitigation System (RDM)?

The Road Departure Mitigation System is a part of the Honda Sensing technology. If your vehicle is drifting too close to the side of the detected roadway without a turn signal activated, the Honda Road Departure Mitigation System alerts you with a visual notification in the Driver Information Center or instrument cluster. If you continue to leave the roadway, it can also apply steering torque and braking to help keep your vehicle in the detected lane.

How Do I Use the Road Departure Mitigation System?

Designed for intuitive use, the Road Departure Mitigation System works in conjunction with the Lane Departure Warning system. Using a camera mounted on the windshield, the RDM system scans the road surface to identify painted lane lines, Botts’ Dots, and cat’s-eye markers.

Automatically engaged when driving (unless manually deactivated), Road Departure Mitigation can detect if the vehicle is about to leave the road. A visual alert will be issued via the Driver Information Interface to warn the driver. Next, the system can apply corrective steering torque and/or apply the brakes to guide the vehicle safely back onto the road.

Which Honda Vehicles Have Road Departure Mitigation?

Good news! All new Honda models equipped with Honda Sensing™ are equipped with Road Departure Mitigation as standard or as an available option. It’s yet another layer of defense against potential danger you may encounter on the road. Choosing Honda means you’ll enjoy industry-leading safety features and technology.
