The manual has information about sonar sensors, but I don’t think they are on my FL5. I watched some videos about FL5 in Asian countries, there is a circle thing on the front grille, above the red letter “R”. I believe it’s the sensor.

What makes you think you don't have them?

The collision mitigation braking system (CMBS) uses the front sonar system and I believe the cross traffic monitor utilizes the rear sensors when detecting oncoming traffic when in reverse.

My car doesn’t have the circle thing above letter “R” on front grille.
US FL5’s don’t have all the same features as those in other countries. The FL5 is more expensive in other countries too, particularly in EU. It’s a marketing strategy. In the US, if you want more luxury features, you have the option to get an Integra Type S. The ITS isn’t available in other countries.

Just read more about the manual, the sonar sensors are for parking.

Yes, those are parking sensors.

The Honda Owner's manuals are pretty generic in the US, its the same manual given for all trim levels. A lot of options are not always available or included and will be different from models in other countries.

You'll see a lot of this in the manual because of that.
