Pilot Safety
This is Pilot protection
Safety for Everyone is Honda’s commitment to providing one of the
highest levels of standard safety features to help ensure occupant
safety and protection. And through real-world research, Honda is also
focusing on developing unequalled measures of protection to enhance the
safety of occupants in other vehicles and even pedestrians – an
innovative idea that is quickly becoming a reality.
Solid frame structure
Like all Honda trucks, the Pilot is built with a rigid unit-body frame
for added strength, stability and vehicle handling. The highly
innovative Advanced Compatibility Engineering™ (ACE™) body structure
disperses frontal impact energy, increasing occupant protection.
Additionally, the ACE frame design allows for collision compatibility
between vehicles of different weights and sizes.
Six standard airbags
Six airbags line the vehicle’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.
Child safety
Standard Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children (LATCH) offer three
secure child-seat restraint positions in the second row and one position
in the third row.
Active front seat 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.
Anti-lock brakes
To help with safer stopping, the 4-wheel Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) helps you maintain control under hard braking conditions, while Electronic Brake Distribution (EBD) and Brake Assist optimizes braking power based on weight distribution inside the vehicle.
Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA®) with Traction Control
Vehicle Stability Assist senses and corrects oversteer and understeer to
enhance handling and cornering stability, while Traction Control
ensures grip in slippery conditions.
Tire Pressure Monitoring System
For enhanced safety and fuel efficiency, a Tire Pressure Monitoring
System (TPMS) continually monitors the air pressure in each tire. If
pressure drops in any one 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.
