Explore Honda Sensing at Plaza Honda
What Makes Honda Sensing a Smart Choice?
If you're browsing for a new Honda near New York City or just trying to make sense of all those safety alerts and dashboard icons, you’re in the right place. Honda Sensing® is Honda’s suite of driver-assist and safety systems built to help you stay more aware, make smarter decisions, and drive with more confidence.
At Plaza Honda, your local Honda dealer near New York City, we’ll walk you through what each Honda Sensing feature does, how it works in everyday driving, and why it matters for drivers in NYC, Queens, and beyond.
What Honda Sensing Does for You
Honda Sensing isn’t just tech for tech’s sake – it’s practical, intuitive, and ready to step in when things get hectic. Whether you’re commuting on the BQE or navigating tight spots in Manhattan, these features are working quietly (and sometimes not-so-quietly) in the background to help you out.
Most new Honda models come with Honda Sensing standard, including fan favorites like the Accord, Civic, CR-V, and Pilot.
Safety Features That Work for You
Here’s a breakdown of the core Honda Sensing systems and what they do for NYC drivers.
Collision Mitigation Braking System™ (CMBS™)
CMBS uses radar and a front-facing camera to detect cars, and in some cases, people, ahead of you. If a crash seems likely, it warns you and applies the brakes automatically if you don’t react in time.
Road Departure Mitigation System (RDM)
When your vehicle starts drifting off the road without a signal, RDM nudges you back with gentle steering corrections. It can also apply the brakes if needed to help you stay on course.
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
Great for bridge traffic and long highway stretches, ACC keeps your set speed but adjusts for the vehicle ahead. It slows down when traffic does, and picks back up when it clears.
Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS)
LKAS keeps you centered by making small steering adjustments if it senses you drifting outside the lane. It’s a welcome assist on long drives and wide NYC expressways.
Traffic Sign Recognition (TSR)
Using a forward-facing camera, TSR reads speed limit signs and posts them on your display so you’re always aware, even if you missed the actual sign.
Top 5 Features NYC Drivers Appreciate Most
