Honda's "Safety for Everyone" philosophy is more than a motto—it takes shape in the advanced safety features of our vehicles.
The Civic Sedan is packed with leading-edge safety features such as the Advanced Compatibility Engineering™ (ACE™) body structure, which enhances the vehicle's ability to absorb crash energy in impacts with vehicles of differing sizes. The standard anti-lock braking system (ABS) helps you maintain steering control during hard stops, while the Electronic Brake Distribution (EBD) system apportions appropriate braking force depending on how the vehicle is dynamically loaded. Advanced features like these help prepare you and your passengers for driving in an unpredictable world.

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.
In the event of a frontal impact, the dual-stage, dual-threshold front airbags (SRS) inflate at different rates depending upon crash severity and seat belt use and are designed to help prevent head and upper-body injuries.
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.
To help lessen or even prevent head and neck injuries in side collisions, all Civic models feature standard side curtain airbags. The side curtain airbag module is positioned along the side of the headliner. In the event of a sufficient side impact, this system will activate to help provide protection for both front and rear outboard passengers.
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, reducing and/or preventing neck injury.
The Daytime Running Lights (DRL) can help increase visibility to oncoming cars, especially in rainy or foggy weather conditions.
