Honda's Safety for Everyone philosophy is more than a motto—it takes shape in the advanced safety features of our vehicles.
Take, for example, the 2007 Civic Si—the result of our commitment to protect you and your passengers, as well as your fellow motorists and pedestrians. Vital safety features abound on all models. The Advanced Compatibility Engineering™ (ACE™) body structure enhances the vehicle’s ability to deal with crash energy in impacts with vehicles of differing size. An anti-lock braking system (ABS) helps you maintain steering control during hard stops. Electronic Brake Distribution (EBD) in the Civic Si apportions braking force based on how the car is dynamically loaded. And Daytime Running Lights (DRL) increase your visibility to other motorists. All this might seem like a lot of work, but we’re sure you’ll agree: it’s for a very important cause.

In a sufficient rear-end impact, the active head restraints move forward and up, helping reduce and/or prevent neck injury.
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.
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 loaded dynamically.
The Daytime Running Lights (DRL) can help increase visibility to oncoming cars, especially in rainy or foggy weather conditions.
Dual-stage, dual-threshold front airbags deploy at one of two rates and thresholds, depending on the severity of impact and seat-belt use.
In the event of a moderate-to-severe side impact, the side airbag inflates to help protect the driver's and 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.
All five seats are equipped with 3-point seat belts. The outboard rear seats feature the LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children) mounting system for use with compatible child seats.
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.
High-tensile-steel beams placed in the doors of the Civic Si help to prevent the intrusion of crash forces in a side impact.
To help lessen or prevent head and neck injuries in side collisions, all Civic models now feature side curtain airbags.
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 Immobilizer unit, the powertrain control module (PCM) starts the engine.
