Civic Coupe Si Safety
It has your back. And front. And sides.
With an impressive array of standard safety features, every Civic is designed
to help protect you and your passengers, no matter what model or trim. How?
We’ll let you count the ways: 4-wheel Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), Advanced
Compatibility Engineering™ (ACE™) body structure, 6 standard airbags and Vehicle
Stability Assist (VSA®) with Traction Control. It’s simple: safety runs in the
family.
ACE™ body structure
The highly innovative Advanced Compatibility Engineering™ (ACE™) body
structure disperses frontal impact energy, increasing occupant protection.
Additionally, the Civic’s ACE frame design allows for collision compatibility
between vehicles of different weights and sizes.
Six standard airbags
Six standard airbags line the Civic’s cabin, including the revolutionary
passenger-side Occupant Position Detection System (OPDS) airbag that will not
deploy if the system detects a smaller-sized or out-of-position occupant.
Anti-lock brakes
For safe stopping, the Civic’s 4-wheel Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) helps
you maintain control under hard braking conditions, while Electronic Brake
Distribution (EBD) optimizes braking power based on weight distribution inside
the vehicle.
Vehicle Stability Assist with Traction Control
The standard Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA®) system senses and corrects
oversteer and understeer scenarios to enhance the Civic’s handling and cornering
stability, while Traction Control ensures grip in slippery conditions.
Child safety
The Civic comes equipped with Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children (LATCH)
that offers secure child-seat restraint.
Safety research
Advanced research and development of occupant protection and vehicle safety
is conducted at Honda’s crash-testing facility in Tochigi, Japan.
Pedestrian safety
Innovative pedestrian safety features include energy-absorbing hood and front
fenders and breakaway wiper pivots.
Honda reminds you and your passengers to always
buckle up. Children 12 and under are safest when properly secured in the rear
seat.
