Undocumented vehicle maintenance that may degrade safety feature. Purchased vehicle because it included fcw (forward collision warning) and ldw (lane departure warning) safety features. Have learned that as part of a four-wheel alignment, calibration of these systems is required. This is not documented\disclosed in the owner's manual or product literature. Concern -- how much will these systems be degraded or made inoperable by tire wear and/or wheel misalignment? this wheel alignment with calibration can only be accomplished at a Honda dealership due to special equipment. No indication is provided of system out-of-calibration warning on the dashboard system function/status lights.
