From its reinforced, rigid unit body and 6 standard airbags to its sophisticated stability systems, the Ridgeline represents an evolving and comprehensive approach to providing high safety levels. Its standard safety features made the Ridgeline the first 4-door pickup to achieve the highest government crash-test rating (5-star) for both frontal- and side-impact tests[1].
In Charge
Standard on every Ridgeline is a complement of advanced safety systems to help keep you out of trouble and in command. Vehicle Stability Assist™ (VSA®) with Traction Control helps sense oversteer or understeer and then adjusts brake pressure at each wheel and/or reduces engine power to help restore driver control and keep you on course. Beefy 4-wheel anti-lock disc brakes (ABS), along with Brake Assist, allow full braking force for authoritative stopping. And for better road composure, the Electronic Brake Distribution (EBD) helps balance braking forces and the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)[2] alerts the driver when a tire’s air pressure reaches a significantly low level.
Sturdy Structure
Designed to be highly rigid for enhanced crash protection, The Ridgeline has a tough backbone that incorporates an integrated closed-box frame and a reinforced unit-body. The result is a robust truck that provides a reduced likelihood of rollover and exceptional safety ratings in its class.
Expanding Protection
While sharing our roads with many other drivers, a time may come when a collision is unavoidable. For superior defense during impact, Ridgeline occupants are surrounded by no less than six airbags. The array of coverage includes dual-stage, multiple-threshold front airbags (SRS), front side airbags with passenger-side Occupant Position Detection System (OPDS), and side curtain airbags with a rollover sensor—all standard.
Honda’s Safety Philosophy
Honda is committed to providing safety for everyone—that means crash protection not only for our own drivers and passengers, but also for other vehicle occupants, and injury mitigation for pedestrians. We are dedicated to identifying and implementing advanced designs and features that help enhance the safety of vehicles on the road. Learn more.
