Honda understands that effective car safety means being prepared for all driving conditions. Honda protects you with a wide range of active safety features that can help prevent accidents from ever happening.

Stability and traction control

Working in the background, Honda’s Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA) continuously monitors the car’s steering and direction. When necessary, this electronic stability control system determines intended direction from actual direction and automatically corrects any difference.

Incorporating traction control technology, engine power and individual brake control, VSA can provide critical assistance when a loss of steering control is detected.

Loss of steering control may occur when:

  • taking a corner, or accelerating on a wet road
  • skidding during an emergency avoidance swerve
  • over or understeering on a tight corner
  • accelerating suddenly from a stationary position.

Anti-Lock Braking

Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) is standard in all Honda cars. Many Honda vehicles also provide the added benefit of Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD). ABS makes sure the brakes don’t lock, whilst EBD applies braking power to front and rear wheels as required. Together they work in tandem to optimise emergency braking safety.

Not all accidents are major

Honda doesn’t forget about the little things when it comes to the safety of you and your car. ‘Bingles’ can happen anywhere. In your driveway, at the shopping centre car park or on the side of the road as you try to maneouver those tricky parallel parks.

Getting you out of (and into) tight spots, rear parking sensors and reversing cameras alert the driver to what’s going on at the rear of the car, where vision may be compromised.
