Safety Features |
|
| |
The Civic Si Sedan’s safety system includes Honda’s exclusive Advanced Compatibility Engineering (ACE) body structure for enhanced frontal crash compatibility. The ACE body structure enhances frontal collision energy management through a network of load bearing structures in the front of the vehicle. In addition, the Civic provides a long list of standard safety equipment including side curtain airbags, front side airbags with passenger-side Occupant Position Detection System (OPDS), and active front head restraints. To help reduce pedestrian injuries in the event of a collision, the Civic model’s hood and fender areas are designed to deform if it comes in contact with a pedestrian. |
