Safety
Safety is a high priority at Honda, and minimising the effects of an accident is a serious design goal.
Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA) |
| |
Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA) in the Civic Sport combines with Traction Control (TCS) to bring the car back under control and help regain traction in sticky situations, such as hard cornering or swerving to avoid a collision.
|
Anti-lock brakes |
| |
Civic's anti-lock braking system (ABS) stops you going into a skid under hard braking, whilst the advanced Electronic Brakeforce Distribution system (EBD) spreads the optimum braking force between front and rear.
|
Airbags |
| |
All Civic models include front airbags for the driver and front passenger. Civic VTi-L and Sport models also feature side airbags for driver and front passenger, while Civic Sport even has curtain airbags front and rear.
|
Front seatbelt pretensioners |
| |
All five seating positions are fitted with 3-point seatbelts. Front seat passengers also receive the added benefit of seatbelt pretensioners and anti-whiplash active headrests for even greater protection.
|
Keyless entry & immobiliser |
| |
Keyless entry and an immobilser are standard on all Civic models. Meanwhile, your CDs and shopping will be safer in the Civic VTi-L and Sport models thanks to a fully integrated security alarm system.
|
G-force control |
| |
In the event of an accident, Honda’s ingenious technology called G-force control (G-CON) immediately moderates the force of the impact, cocooning you and your passengers in a potentially life-saving ‘survival zone.
