','The VTM-4<sup>®</sup> system operates automatically. But when you need to start off in extreme low-traction conditions, such as when stopped in mud, on ice or in loose gravel, the VTM-4<sup>®</sup> Lock feature lets you manually lock the rear differential to help get you moving. And it will stay manually locked up to 18 mph in both forward and reverse gears.','<a href=/ridgeline/features.aspx?feature=vtm>View Demo</a>','');){kind=small}

 Cargo Bed','The Steel-Reinforced Composite (SRC) Cargo Bed has twice the strength of steel and eliminates the need for a bed liner. The non-slip surface provides excellent impact, scratch and corrosion resistance. Steel cross members underneath the bed maintain integrity to combat the stress of heavy loads.','','');){kind=small}
Safety Features
- Dual-Stage, Multiple-Threshold Front Airbags (SRS)

- Side Curtain Airbags with Rollover Sensor
- Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS)
- Electronic Brake Distribution (EBD)
- Vehicle Stability Assist™ (VSA®) with Traction Control
- Brake Assist
- Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)[4]
- 3-Point Seat Belts at All Seating Positions
- Side-Impact Door Beams
- Lower Anchors and Tethers for CHildren (LATCH)
- Child-Proof Rear Door Locks
- Head Restraints at All Seating Positions

- Daytime Running Lights (DRL)
','The vehicle is equipped with dual-stage, multiple-threshold front airbags (SRS). One or both of these airbags will be deployed only in the event of a sufficient frontal impact. If deployed, these airbags are capable of being inflated at different rates depending on crash severity, seatbelt usage and other factors. Frontal airbags are designed to supplement the seatbelts to help reduce the likelihood of head and upper body injuries in frontal crashes.','','');){kind=small}
','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. 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.','','');){kind=small}
, and stays inflated for up to 4 seconds. This increases the level of protection for outboard passengers in the event of a rollover or significant side impact collision[1].','','');){kind=spacer}
','The anti-lock braking system (ABS) in the Ridgeline benefits from a 4-channel design, so each wheel is controlled individually. Combined with its large brake rotors, short stops are a snap. Brake Assist helps apply maximum braking in emergency situations. And Electronic Brake Distribution (EBD) varies the braking force at each wheel—helpful when hauling uneven loads.','','');){kind=small}
 with Traction Control','This sophisticated device aids the driver in retaining control if side slippage is detected. When the driver is cornering or must make a sudden maneuver, the system may engage if traction loss is detected.','','');){kind=small}
','Standard on the Ridgeline, the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) with location indicators tells the driver when a tire is significantly underinflated. Air-pressure sensors inside special valve stems in each of the four tires send signals to a monitoring unit mounted in the rear of the vehicle that relays the current air pressure status to the display. If the air pressure of any tire is significantly low, the system will automatically alert the driver via the display[1].','','[1] For optimal tire wear and performance, tire pressure should be checked regularly with a gauge. Do not rely solely on the monitor system. Please see your Honda dealer for details.');){kind=small}
','Three Lower Anchors and Tethers for CHildren (LATCH) child-seat-mounting positions are built into the rear seats. The LATCH system utilizes both the upper child-seat tether anchors and dedicated lower-anchor points built into the body of the vehicle to help ensure correct mounting of a compatible child seat.','','');){kind=small}

','Visibility of the Ridgeline to other drivers is enhanced by the Ridgeline\'s Daytime Running Lights (DRL).','','');){kind=small}
