Modern cars at the Honda dealer have a range of car safety features as part of the Sensing Suite. We’re going to go over some of those features and what they do so you’ll know just how secure you will be in any new ride you pick up at your local dealer.
5 Car Safety Features You’ll Find at Your Honda Dealer
1. Collision Mitigation Braking System
The Collision Mitigation Braking System is just what it sounds like—it helps you avoid crashing. Sensors on the car keep an eye on the road and let you know when there’s a pedestrian or vehicle you’re in danger of crashing into. This can give you enough time to hit the brakes and prevent the collision. Your car can also activate the brakes if you don’t have enough time to respond.
2. Road Departure Mitigation System
Your Honda keeps track of both sides of the lane. On one side, it detects the edge of the road, and on the other, it keeps track of lane lines. If you drive into the next lane or to the edge of the road without signaling, then your Honda can apply braking or corrective steering to make sure you stay on the road and within your lane.
3. Adaptive Cruise Control
Adaptive Cruise Control can be a wonderful safety and convenience feature at the same time. Your car controls your speed based on the speed of the car ahead, and it maintains a following distance set by you. It also helps keep you safer by making sure you’re always the perfect distance behind the other cars on the road.
Some Honda models have Adaptive Cruise Control with Low-Speed Follow. Those models can bring your car to a complete stop when the car ahead of you stops. A gentle tap on the throttle re-engages the Adaptive Cruise Control when you need to start driving again.
4. Lane Keep Assist
Lane Keep Assist is similar to the Road Departure Mitigation System. It helps you avoid accidentally drifting out of your lane. While you control the majority of your steering, the system also applies gentle corrective steering to make sure you stay right in the middle of the lane. If this system senses that you stop steering, then it’ll send you an alert to remind you to remain attentive and start steering again.
5. Blind Spot Information System
If there are any cars in your blind spot, then the Blind Spot Information System will let you know. Although you’ll still need to check your blind spot manually, the system is a helpful tool for when cars enter your blind spot unexpectedly.
