Honda’s Safety for Everyone philosophy is more than a motto—it takes shape in the advanced safety features of our vehicles.
Honda employs a comprehensive approach to safety, providing a high level of occupant and pedestrian protection. Many of the Civic’s most essential safety features come standard. For example, the Advanced Compatibility Engineering™ (ACE™) body structure enhances the vehicle’s ability to deal with crash energy in impacts with vehicles of differing size. High-tensile steel beams provide increased side-impact protection. An anti-lock braking system (ABS) helps maintain steering control during hard stops. The Electronic Brake Distribution (EBD) system takes into account how the car is dynamically loaded, and apportions braking force appropriately. Daytime Running Lights (DRL) enhance visibility. And every Civic comes equipped with side airbags with Occupant Position Detection System (OPDS) and side curtain airbags. The 2007 Civic has already received a wide variety of prestigious awards; but after placing so much emphasis on safety, Honda was especially pleased to receive a 5-star rating in frontal-impact testing for the Civic.*

Our Advanced Compatibility Engineering (ACE) body structure improves impact compatibility with different-sized vehicles. In front-end collisions, it helps redirect crash energy around the passenger compartment.
Dual-stage, dual-threshold front airbags deploy at one of two rates and thresholds, depending on the severity of impact and seat-belt use.
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.
To help lessen or even prevent head and neck injuries in side collisions, all Civic models now feature side curtain airbags.
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.
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.
In a sufficient rear-end impact, the active head restraints move forward and up, helping reduce and /or prevent neck injury.
The Daytime Running Lights (DRL) can help increase visibility to oncoming cars, especially in rainy or foggy weather conditions.
