2006 Civic GXs

The 2006 Civic GX is the beneficiary of broad and thorough research in safety design from Honda. Proof of this can be seen in achieving the 2006 "Top Safety Pick – Gold" Award from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS).

Sophisticated active and passive safety features combine to help prepare you and your passengers for driving in an unpredictable world. To help you maintain steering control during hard stops, an anti-lock braking system (ABS) is standard. The Electronic Brake Distribution (EBD) system in the Civic GX takes into account how the car is dynamically loaded, and apportions braking force appropriately. The new Civic GX enhances your visibility to others by incorporating Daytime Running Lights (DRL) up front.

SAFETY FEATURES

If the front airbag system detects that there is a person in the front passenger's seat who is unbuckled, it will cause a warning tone to sound, the seat-belt reminder indicator to illuminate, and then to intermittently flash. This is the same indicator that is used to remind the driver to buckle up, but even if the driver's seat belt is buckled, this indicator will remain lit until the passenger buckles their seat belt.
Dual-stage, dual-threshold front airbags (SRS) 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 prevent the side airbag from deploying if a child or small-statured adult is in the airbag's path of deployment.
To help lessen head and neck injuries in side collisions, all Civic models now feature standard 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 how the car is dynamically loaded.
In a sufficient rear-end impact, the active head restraints move forward and up, to help reduce neck injury.
Daytime Running Lights (DRL) can help increase visibility to oncoming cars, especially in rainy or foggy weather conditions.
