Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS)
Pilot's anti-lock braking system (ABS) uses a special modulator to pulse the brakes to help prevent wheel lockup. This helps the driver retain steering control when braking hard. The Electronic Brake Distribution system (EBD) balances the front/rear braking forces during dynamic loading.
Dual-Stage Front Airbags (SRS)
In the event of a moderate-to-severe frontal impact, the dual-stage, dual-threshold front airbags inflate and deflate in a fraction of a second and are designed to help prevent serious head and upper-body injuries.
Front and Rear Crush Zones
The front and rear crush zones help provide driver and passenger protection in frontal and rear impacts.
Front Side Airbags with Passenger-Side Occupant Position Detection System (OPDS)
In the event of a moderate-to-severe side impact, the side airbag inflates to help protect the driver's or front passenger's upper body. Plus, the Occupant Position Detection System (OPDS) utilizes sensors in the front passenger's seatback to detect the height and seating position of the occupant. If a child or small-statured adult is leaning into the deployment path of the side airbag, sensors deactivate it.
Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children (LATCH)
All eight seats are equipped with 3-point seat belts. The second-row seat features the LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children) mounting system for use with compatible child seats.
Rigid Steel Body
The chassis of the Pilot utilizes unit-body construction with extensive cross-bracing and stiffening members incorporated into key areas. This improves strength and durability during light off-highway driving conditions, and reduces road noise and vibration in conventional driving situations.
3-Point Seat Belts with Pretensioners
Front and rear 3-point seat belts with pretensioners ride across the lap and chest to help restrain occupants during sudden stops or impact.
Side-Impact Door Beams
The dual side-impact door beams help provide protection in a side impact.
Three-Row Side Curtain Airbags with Rollover Sensor
Pilot provides standard side curtain airbags for all three rows of seats. In addition to the protection they offer outboard occupants in the event of a side impact, these side curtain airbags are fitted with a rollover sensor to help provide protection in a rollover. Most side curtain airbags in this class are designed to provide side-impact protection, but rarely do they also provide protection in the event of a rollover.
Vehicle Stability Assist™ (VSA®) with Traction Control
This sophisticated safety device aids the driver in retaining control of the vehicle if wheel slippage is detected. When the driver is cornering or must make a sudden maneuver, the system may engage if traction loss is detected, to help restore the driver's intended course
Wave Key and Immobilizer Theft-Deterrent System
The system immobilizes the engine's fuel injection and ignition, and only a matching digital code in the ignition key can override it. When the driver puts the key into the ignition switch, the switch transmits a signal that reads the code in the key. If the key code agrees with the code in the powertrain control module, the engine starts.
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. In addition, location indicators will alert the driver to the specific tire with low pressure.
