This system worked very well on the 2023 Honda CRV Hybrid. All the features you mentioned worked on this SUV. The following distance can be a little tricky, but overall Honda executed this feature very well indeed.

[@kljokikljoki]

WHICH Honda ? year, model .... fxxxk the title/.

[@groverstrong9078]

Just purchased a 2025 Honda Civic this was a life saver because the owners manual is difficult to understand because of the frequent use of abbreviations and pictures you need a magnifying glass see. Even though he's using a 2022 Honda vehicle it fully explained how to use these features.

[@maryjones8179]

I just purchased my vehicle and reading the manual was confusing me, but watching your video was very helpful. Thank you

[@inefekt]

keep in mind that lane keep assist can be fooled easily, I find it gets confused when passing exit lanes, the steering wheel veers into the exit lane rather than staying in the lane I am in so I have to force it to stay on track....also I have found that interplay between shadows and sunlight can fool it, I drive under an overpass which bends across the freeway and throws a shadow that bends to the left, the sunny side of the freeway then appears to bend that way and again fools the LKAS into steering left. Happens every single time I pass that section of my freeway. Otherwise it's a really handly feature, basically just need to rest your hands on the wheel and the vehicle does all the steering, if you take your hands off though it will start screaming at you until you put them back on and if you don't take the hint it will turn off the LKAS

[@MikeHamMan]

3:57 is absolutely essential for everyone to pay attention to. Stay alert and aware and always pay attention. The tech may make mistakes. Like he said, it's a driver AID and NOT a full takeover of the vehicle.

I am jealous of your commute

[@JakeSnake1948]

Recently got a '24 Civic Sport with this feature. Coming from an '07 Civic Si, this thing feels like a spaceship. Going to miss the manual gearbox, but this'll definitely make bumper to bumper traffic easier to deal with.

Well, this video is a lot clearer than the manual that came with our ‘24 Accord.

Really a good video! Thanks! I have seen that the some Honda has also the "traffic jam assist": but what is the difference with the ACC + LKAS like yours?!? The LKAS goes above 65 KM/h and under the traffic jam assist. But your ACC + LKAS do it also for all speeds

Do you have to jiggle the wheel every once in a while so it knows you have your hands on it, or is just placing your hands on the wheel enough?

[@PreciousOne777]

I didn't find any of this in my owner's manual under cruise control. I tried to figure it out myself and boy was I all wrong...lol. That self braking has me nervous, so to speak...😅.

[@CarDietrich]

It is quite odd at first, but try it out! It does work and its a life saver in traffic on the freeway.

[@danielroe-mp4fw]

well. done !!

[@mznnm9124]

So you need to nudge the throttle or on the steering wheel after a stop to get it moving? Does other manufacturer do this as well ?

[@CarDietrich]

If the Adaptive Cruise has brought the car to a complete stop, you can hit the gas lightly or click Resume on the steering wheel to get it moving again. This is very similar to other systems I've used from other manufacturers

[@hjer731]

Yes. All of them do this. You can bypass this with aftermarket hardware - Comma AI Openpilot.

[@Puv6996]

Does the cruise control work on curvy winding road, without controlling the steering?

[@CarDietrich]

Yes, but if you’re using adaptive cruise on a road like that make sure you’re paying attention. The car will lose sight of its target car it’s locked on to around a curve and may accelerate when it isn’t the best thing for the conditions

[@evanhatfield705]

My grandma has a 2021 Honda CRV and it has Honda's Adaptive Cruise Control with Low Speed Follow and Lane Keep Assist and i have to say it doesn't work very well on a 2021 Honda CRV Believe me, I've tried it so if anyone is looking to have a 2021 Honda CRV as their first car all because of the Adaptive Cruise Control with Low Speed Follow i would tell them not to get a 2021 Honda CRV with Adaptive Cruise Control with Low Speed Follow just from my experience with Honda's Adaptive Cruise Control with Low Speed Follow and all those cars that have level 2 hands free drivers assistance systems out there like BMW's Highway Assistant and General Motors Super Cruise and the only Level 3 drivers assistance system allowed in only 2 States in the United States right now which is Mercedes Benz Drive Pilot and Drive Pilot only works in traffic jams so you should try it and make a video on it

[@minamilacus16]

I have hrv 2023 sport. My low speed control dont work.. (i guess) cause although im on cruise control and I press the low speed buttom, it dont display in the board.. like mo car and bars (as shown in the video).

[@sonnybedez7040]

When ever I’m in cruise control on the freeway, the car makes a slight beep noise, anyway to know what that is and how to turn it off

[@CRVgarage]

Can we use LKAS independently without the cruise control??

[@CarDietrich]

On this new 11th Gen Civic yes

[@P_H882]

So I dont need to step on the brake when using adap cruise control? Car will stop on its own based off the space set and veh in front of mine?

[@CarDietrich]

Yes, as long as it is locked on to the car in front of it. But it is not self-driving, you need to keep your eyes on the road and be ready to intervene if necessary

[@toronado455]

good advice

[@CarDietrich]

Glad you liked it

[@rekunta]

I can’t get this to work, the adaptive button does nothing. I just bought a 2020 Accord Sport. Has the adaptive button but it doesn’t engage. I’ve only tried on the highway at speed (75+) so do I have to be below a certain mph? Is this only a slow speed system? Do I have to have lane keep assist armed for it to work (I hate it yanking the wheel around in my hands so disable it). Unfortunately, as the car fax showed that the steering wheel had been replaced, I’m fearful that this wasn’t wired properly on installation. May have to take a trip to the dealer.

[@CarDietrich]

The system should work at speeds up to 90 MPH. If the steering wheel was replaced that might be the issue. It might not even be the wiring, the cars' computer might just need to be reprogrammed or something

[@rekunta]

@@CarDietrich hmmmm. Will have to go get diagnostics then. Unfortunately, I neglected to test cruise on my test drive (actually I did, I just didn’t try the adaptive button assuming since cruise functioned it would as well). Live and learn I guess, hopefully it’s not a major cost to fix and is something like a software update as it would be very convenient to have. Appreciate the quick response.

[@CarDietrich]

My pleasure, good luck!

[@rekunta]

@@CarDietrich found out the problem. Was on my way to dealer, and I held down the ACC button for three seconds. This switched it from normal cruise to ACC, and it now works. Don’t know why it needs to be switched from normal cruise to ACC, but all’s well that ends well. Thanks again.

[@scottcampbell4585]

I have tried this and works great 👍..Have you tried the Honda Link yet for the Civic

[@CarDietrich]

I have not tried out the Honda Link

[@PreciousOne777]

Honda Link?

[@jamiurrahmanchoudhury9430]

Do the car warns if the car infront moves in traffic? Something like Lead Car Departure Notification.

[@CarDietrich]

No, the Hondas do not do that

[@TobiHamed]

Mine is broken in my crv 2023 the car random hard brakes in cruse control

[@virtua7netizen]

Does the car recognize speed limits and adjust the cruise top speed accordingly

[@CarDietrich]

This system does not have that capability

[@valenzuelaeph]

What kind of pressure do you put on the accelerator on this acc when its doing its thing? Or can u take off your feet at the gas pedal?

[@CarDietrich]

Take your foot off of the gas pedal completely when the ACC is engaged

[@valenzuelaeph]

@@CarDietrich wow.. semi-self driving then..

[@CarDietrich]

Yes but you still need to keep your hands on the wheel and pay attention, and be ready to intervene if need be.

[@valenzuelaeph]

@@CarDietrich thank you

[@vinaymieux]

Does the steering assist stay on when there are breaks in the left and right lines on the road while crossing a traffic signal or any crossing? I have a nissan with the same features but every time I cross a traffic signal where the lines have a brief break, the system leaves the steering assist.

[@CarDietrich]

It depends on the road. If there is a long enough break in the road lines it will disable the Lane Keep Assist momentarily

[@johnvan6803]

I don't know if I would trust the automatic braking system. What if it fails, or the computer chip malfunctions. BAM!

[@bygoneegowaitingremoval]

HRV 2024 Sport: I set the Line Assist button (green), then I set the ACC button, which now is white, but when I press RES/SET it says the vehicle speed is too slow. I tried at 17 mph, at 12mph and 30mph. It only worked at 30 mph. But isn't it supposed to work below 25 mph? That's the whole meaning of "low-speed follow". What I'm doing wrong?

[@CarDietrich]

You have to be going over 20 mph to activate the ACC, but then once it is set it will function at speeds below 20 mph and bring the car to a complete stop with low speed follow.

[@bygoneegowaitingremoval]

@@CarDietrich Thank you!

[@QAsession]

Does the acc system have to be on for the cbms system to work?

[@CarDietrich]

No, they are separate systems

[@QAsession]

@@CarDietrich Thanks for the reply. My CBMS does not work on my 2024 HRV. It worked beautifully on my 2020 accord, and now, with the hrv, it doesn't work at all. I've watched Honda videos in english and in Japanese dubbed in english, and I know for sure it's not working. My dealer's service dept wasn't able to get it to work and brushed it off as something unecessary. 🙃

[@CarDietrich]

@@QAsession I would take it to another dealer if the problem persists. If they can't solve it and you are in the United States, look into your state's lemon laws. It's usually pretty easy to get a car bought back if its a problem with the safety systems.

[@QAsession]

@@CarDietrich Thank you so much for that advice. I will do that.

[@CarDietrich]

@@QAsession you’re welcome, good luck!

[@jeeemotion1299]

Could you set the ACC while car not moving?

[@CarDietrich]

No, you have to get the car moving before you set it

[@R56Cooper]

Thanks Dietrich fir this lkas and adaptive cruise demo! Planning on buying the new 23 Pilot Trailsport. Question: with only lane keep assist activated, does the system generally work well on surface streets? I currently have a KIA and here in LA, it's such a great feature when the car is essentially keeping itself in the middle of the lane. Does the Honda system do this reliably? Thanks!

[@CarDietrich]

I haven't driven a new Pilot with the Adaptive Cruise with Stop and Go (believe it or not that's new to Pilot for 2023!) but it should follow the lanes because it has the LKAS and the Traffic Jam Assist standard on the Trailsport, so it should do what you need it to do.

[@R56Cooper]

​@Dietrich's Car Channel very good news! Looking forward to test driving the Honda! Thanks!

[@AlexRodriguez-xw9cl]

I’m a little confused on what ur feet are supposed to do while using acc😅

[@CarDietrich]

Actually, good question, I never did explain that. The answer is nothing, the car controls the throttle and the brakes when the adaptive Cruise control is engaged. You should always pay attention and be ready to hit the brakes if someone cuts you off hard, and you can briefly hit the gas to get the car moving again if it brings you to a stop, but other than that your feet do nothing!

[@jmccamman97]

Can the adaptive part of CC be turned off?

[@CarDietrich]

Yes, press and hold the button you use to change the following distance (Honda calls this the 'interval' button) for one second. Cruise mode selected appears on the driver information interface for two seconds, and then the mode switches to standard Cruise control.

[@22kiki22]

Can you turn off the cruise assist? I don’t like it braking on its own.

[@CarDietrich]

Per the Honda Owners Manual: "Press and hold the Interval button (the one that adjusts your distance from the car ahead) for one second. Cruise mode selected appears on the driver information interface for two seconds, and then the mode switches to Cruise."

[@CarDietrich]

Very Carefully

[@jules2565]

Will it sense the side of a bridge if there's no white line?

[@CarDietrich]

The system is specifically meant to recognize lane markings, IE white lines or yellow lines. Do not trust it to sense the side of the bridge, take control of the steering yourself in that scenario.

[@jules2565]

@@CarDietrich thank you!

[@fran.fndz.techart]

my lane keep assist barely work, it always white, just some times it become green :(

[@CarDietrich]

If the roads in your area don’t have lane markings that are easily legible to the car’s cameras, this could happen

[@valbanks1]

Does the ACC/LKA software automatically avoid rolling over giant holes in the street or large debris?

[@CarDietrich]

No. The Lane Keeping Assist online reads the lane lines when they are present and helps you keep the car centered in the lane. Neither system is designed to steer around obstacles, at least in its current iteration

[@enigma1000]

I wonder if these systems make driving more dangerous. Instead of being fully focused on what’s going on outside the car you focus on managing more complicated technology, as well as trying to make sure the car is driven safely with full awareness. In a stress situation the technology could be adding information overload increasing the likelihood of a mistake. Just wondering…. It would be interesting to have accident stats where technology played a contribution.

[@stephensniff]

Well insurance typically charges less on cars that have more smart driving features so I’m sure the data is out there that shows this technology helps avoid accidents.

[@hebe9722]

My lane keep assist only activated when the speed reached 70km/h, below that it will be automatically cancelled...

[@CarDietrich]

That is actually normal, per Honda it only works between speeds of 45-90 MPH (72-145 kmh). I apologize if I didn't make that clear in the video.

[@camilaarrate7925]

I can actually use LKAS during normal traffic speeds off the highway and it’s effective in my 2019 Civic LX and now 2023 HRV. It also worked without cruise control should I have activated it. Maybe it was different before?

[@luislaurencio]

In 2018 the accord would stop by itself

[@CarDietrich]

As long as it has an Automatic Transmission yes.

[@frankficarrotta9683]

Wish I had this in my 2023 Ridgeline. Maybe I do, but it doesn’t work. My vehicle slows down to the speed of the vehicle in front of it until the speed decreases to between 25 and 30 mph. Once it drops to that speed it displays a message I’m paraphrasing here, “ speed to slow for adaptive cruise control “ once I get that message the vehicle stops breaking and you are no longer in cruise control mode. No one at the dealership really knows how it’s supposed to work, and they told me everything is fine. ???

[@CarDietrich]

That is how your car works. On the current Ridgelines and the Passports and the older Pilots (and other older Honda models) the system cannot bring the car to a complete stop, it disables itself below 20 MPH.
