An automatic seat-belt tensioning system helps hold occupants securely in a collision. The system is triggered by the same sensors that deploy the airbags.
Driver’s and Front Passenger’s Active Head Restraints
In a sufficient rear-end impact, the active head restraints move forward and up, helping reduce and /or prevent neck injury.
Advanced Compatibility Engineering™ (ACE™) Body Structure
Our Advanced Compatibility Engineering™ (ACE) body structure enhances impact compatibility with different-sized vehicles. In front-end collisions, it helps redirect crash energy around the passenger compartment.
Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) with Electronic Brake Distribution (EBD)
The anti-lock braking system (ABS) helps you maintain steering control during hard stops. Electronic Brake Distribution (EBD) balances braking forces at each wheel according to the dynamic load of the car.
Daytime Running Lights (DRL)
All Civic models are equipped with Daytime Running Lights that help increase vehicle "conspicuity"-the ability to be seen—by making it easier for other drivers and pedestrians to detect the Civic, especially in fog, rain dust and bright sun.
Dual-Stage Front Airbags (SRS)
Dual-stage front airbags deploy at one of two rates and thresholds, depending on the severity of impact and seat-belt use.
Front Side Airbags with Passenger-Side Occupant Position Detection System (OPDS)
The front passenger seat features an Occupant Position Detection System (OPDS) to help prevent the side airbag from deploying if a child or small-statured adult is in the airbag's path of deployment.
Side Curtain Airbags
To help lessen or even prevent head and neck injuries in side collisions, all Civic models now feature side curtain airbags.
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
This system monitors the pressure in all four tires and alerts the driver before pressure loss in any tire becomes significantly low.
