Guide To Honda Safety and Driver Assistance Features

Safety Features Guide at Hendrick Honda Bradenton

Whether you have the cabin all to yourself or you're hitting the highway on a group road trip, safety must be the top priority in the vehicle you drive. That's why Honda takes safety seriously, and the protection of you, your passengers, and other drivers is always central to the design of each Honda model. Modern Honda vehicles are also available with an impressive selection of tech tools for added vigilance, including the contents of the Honda Sensing™ tech suite. Let's learn more about these available safety features to see how Honda lets you drive with peace of mind.

Honda Sensing™ Safety Tech

Get to know these advanced features available with the Honda Sensing™ safety tech suite:

• Forward Collision Warning: This tech tool detects vehicles directly in front of your vehicle, and it can alert you if the distance between the cars closes so quickly that a collision might occur. To get your attention, the forward collision warning signals a beeping sound and flashes an amber "Brake" warning on your display screen.
• Lane Keeping Assist: To keep your car centered in your own lane, this system uses a forward-facing camera to detect the lane and apply steering torque to correct your trajectory if it detects that your vehicle is drifting from the lane.
• Collision Mitigation Braking: Using both a forward-facing camera and radar transmitter, this system gauges the distance between your vehicle and the objects ahead of you. It also determines the speed at which you're approaching the object, and if it detects the potential for a collision, it alerts you with audio and visual signals, and in some systems, it will also tug at the driver's seat belt. If you take no action promptly, the system will initiate light braking.
• Road Departure Mitigation: A camera identifies lane markers, and if the system detects that your vehicle is leaving the road, it will call your attention with audio and visual alerts. If you don't react promptly, the system will apply torque to the steering to correct your direction. If more action is necessary, it can also apply brakes to prevent the vehicle from leaving the roadway.
• Adaptive Cruise Control: In addition to allowing you to set a preferred cruising speed, this system maintains a set following interval to enable cruise control even in light traffic situations.

Many Honda models can be equipped with a variety of other safety and driver assistance features like traffic sign recognition, blind spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and more.
