Unknown warning?
« on: September 25, 2024, 04:33:51 PM »
I have an unknown warning in the multi information display, it doesn't display for more than 30secs so I can't take a picture.
It's basically A front view of car with exclamation mark in Orange, there is also a beep. I've tried searching but found nothing?
Does anyone know what it is?

It could be the front mounted camera which is behind the rear view mirror.
Make sure nothing is blocking it and windscreen is clear.

It's the City-Brake Active System. That warning appears if the car detects a possible frontal collision. Look it up in the handbook. In my experience, it's prone to false alarms.

Thank you for you replies :)

Could it be a car approaching too fast from behind?

I've created a mock up

What page of the manual I can't find it? Or can you post a pic?

It's definitely the city-brake system (in Honda-speak, it's called CTBA). In the online manual, p.108 shows the indication, pp 450-454 explain the system in more detail.
NB those page numbers are for the online manual, they may be slightly different in any version you're looking at.

Basically, it's a low-speed system that detects an obstruction ahead of you (not behind) and first warns you, and if the hazard persists and you don't take avoiding action, it'll apply the brakes.

Ok brilliant - thanks for your help :) bit concerning - since there is no obstacle - but it's only for a few seconds.

Like all the electronic gizmos there is a bunch of things that may cause it to function abnormally or not at all. Read the pages I referenced carefully. One thing I’ve found is that it’s possible to get condensation inside the sensor pod which affects some of these systems but doesn’t give the “camera obstructed” warning. If you’re convinced none of these apply and you’re still getting false alarms then there may be a fault and you’ll need to go to a dealer.
