Odyssey Safety
Safe. Never sorry.
For the Odyssey safety is more than a given, it’s a reason to be. The
Advanced Compatibility Engineering™ (ACE™) body structure forms a
foundation for solid protection, and the comprehensive cabin airbags
surround passengers for an added layer of safety. And with the added
control of 4-wheel anti-lock braking, every trip will be a safer one.
ACE™ body structure
The highly innovative Advanced Compatibility Engineering™ (ACE™) body
structure disperses frontal impact energy, increasing occupant
protection. It also allows for collision compatibility between vehicles
of different weights and sizes.
Maintenance Minder system
The Maintenance Minder system automatically determines when service is
required. It also anticipates maintenance schedules, such as
oil-and-filter changes and tire rotation, based on your driving habits.
Child safety
Standard Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children (LATCH) offer two secure
child-seat restraint positions in the second row and one position in
the third row.
Active front head restraints
Active front seat head restraints lessen the potential for neck injuries
during rear-end collisions by reducing the space between the occupant’s
head and the seat head restraint.
Six standard airbags
Six airbags line the vehicle’s cabin, including three-row side curtain
airbags with rollover sensor and the passenger-side Occupant Position
Detection System (OPDS) airbag that will not deploy if the system
detects a smaller-sized or out-of-position occupant.
Pedestrian safety
Innovative pedestrian safety features include energy-absorbing hood and front fenders, and breakaway wiper pivots.
Anti-lock brakes
For safe stopping, the 4-wheel Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) helps you
maintain control under hard braking conditions, while Electronic Brake
Distribution (EBD) with Brake Assist optimizes braking power based on
weight distribution inside the vehicle.
Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA®)
Vehicle Stability Assist senses and corrects oversteer and understeer
situations to enhance handling and cornering stability, while Traction
Control enhances grip during acceleration.
Tire Pressure Monitoring System
For added safety and enhanced fuel efficiency, a Tire Pressure
Monitoring System (TPMS) continually monitors the air pressure in each
tire. If pressure drops in any tire, an alert appears on the driver’s
instrument panel.
Honda reminds you and your passengers to always buckle up. Children 12 and under are safest when properly secured in the rear seat.
