In a world full of distractions and unpredictable roads, a reliable co-pilot makes all the difference. Honda delivers exactly that with its innovative Honda Sensing® suite. Let’s unpack Honda Sensing®’s features to see what makes this intelligent safety technology so impressive. You’ll want it for every ride.
Core Honda Sensing® Features: Your Everyday Guardians
Honda Sensing® makes your daily drive safer, smoother, and significantly less stressful. These core features actively monitor your surroundings. They intervene when necessary, providing extra protection for you and your passengers.
The Collision Mitigation Braking System™ (CMBS™) acts as an immediate safeguard. If you’re momentarily distracted and traffic ahead suddenly stops, CMBS™ detects vehicles or pedestrians in your path. It can automatically apply the brakes. This helps reduce the potential impact’s severity or, in some cases, avoids a collision entirely. Similarly, the Road Departure Mitigation System (RDM) helps keep you on track. It monitors lane markings. If your vehicle begins to drift off the road without a signal, it gently guides you back with corrective steering or braking.
For a more relaxed commute, Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with Low-Speed Follow goes beyond traditional cruise control. It maintains your set speed and a safe following distance from the vehicle ahead. In heavy traffic, the Low-Speed Follow feature can even bring your Honda to a complete stop. It then resumes acceleration, making stop-and-go driving much smoother. On longer journeys, the Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS) provides subtle steering corrections. It helps keep your vehicle centered in its lane, reducing fatigue and making highway cruising easier.
Enhanced Awareness and Convenience Features
Beyond active collision avoidance, Honda Sensing® also incorporates features that enhance your situational awareness and add convenience.
The Traffic Sign Recognition (TSR) system helps you stay informed. It identifies important road signs, such as speed limits, and displays them on your instrument panel. This ensures you know crucial information even if you miss seeing the physical sign. Changing lanes and backing out of tight spots become less stressful with the Blind Spot Information System (BSI) and Cross Traffic Monitor. BSI alerts you if a vehicle is in your blind spot when you’re preparing to change lanes. The Cross Traffic Monitor warns you of approaching traffic from either side when you’re backing up. Finally, for night driving, Auto High-Beam Headlights automatically switch between high and low beams based on other traffic and lighting conditions. This ensures optimal visibility without blinding oncoming drivers.
Beyond Honda Sensing®: Built-In Peace of Mind
Honda Sensing® might be the headline act, but Honda’s built-in safety doesn’t stop there. Using smart technology, your Honda’s design thoughtfully helps you stay safe. A multi-angle rearview camera allows you to choose between wide, normal, and top-down views. You get a clear picture of what’s behind you. On slick roads or sharp turns, you can maintain traction with Vehicle Stability Assist™ (VSA®). When you need to stop quickly and safely, the Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) and Brake Assist provide responsive, controlled braking.
Honda goes beyond active protection with passive features. The brand’s exclusive ACE™ body structure helps absorb and redirect crash energy, limiting how much passengers feel. In a collision, SmartVent® and Side Curtain airbags provide the best protection in a side or rollover crash. Additionally, seat belt pretensioners tighten on impact, helping to secure passengers safely in their seats.
