In owners' own words
The idle stop system every time I turn it off it will automatically come back on and this feature makes me feel as if when it keeps doing that after Iâm constantly turning it off from it popping back on that sometimes it donât want to catch speed. I for see this being a long term issue if all Hondas are like this . Forward collision avoidance
The car's dashboard will flash break and will use its emergency braking system to stop when there isn't anything in the way. Thus, the car stopping short and potentially causing an accident while there isn't a reason to break. Forward collision avoidance
