Nothing is more critical to a driver than the safety of their passengers, so Honda has loaded out its 2020 model year vehicles with an impressive array of safety features. Take a look at the best of them in detail, and you’ll see why you should consider Honda the next time you’re in the market for a new vehicle.
Honda Sensing
Honda Sensing is the company’s exclusive suite of intelligent driver assistance and safety technologies. Each feature is designed to keep you as alert as possible to potential dangers on the open road. Its Collision Mitigation Braking System applies pressure to the brakes when an unavoidable impact is detected. And if you drift out of your lane without signaling, the Road Departure Mitigation System kicks in, adjusting the steering and braking accordingly.
The Adaptive Cruise Control System lets the driver set a predetermined following distance so their Honda maintains that distance at a reasonable speed with minimal driver interaction. The Lane Keep Assist System keeps your Honda centered in your lane whenever it’s activated, while Traffic Sign Recognition scans for posted speed limits and displays them to the driver.
Honda LaneWatch With Blind Spot Information
You’ll have no problem with blind spots on either side of your vehicle with Honda LaneWatch, which activates a small side-mirror-mounted camera whenever you signal right. The camera displays a live video, helping drivers see everything in the lane they intend to enter; in fact, it reveals four times more than does the average passenger-side mirror. And if your turn signal is on and a vehicle is detected in an adjacent lane, the Blind Spot Information System notifies you.
Cross Traffic Monitoring and Auto High-Beam Headlights
Cross Traffic Monitoring uses the rearview multiangle camera to detect vehicles crossing behind your Honda as you back up. Drivers can effectively avoid parking lot collisions with this system, as it alerts them with a series of beeps and indicator lights when someone is in the way.
Auto High-Beam Headlights switch as needed between low- and high-beam positions when your Honda is moving faster than 25 miles per hour. The system monitors surrounding conditions, switching the lights to low beams as drivers approach from the other direction.
Honda’s Safety Timeline
Honda’s dedicated to ensuring the safety of everyone inside their vehicles, so company engineers work for decades to integrate the newest technologies into their safety systems. Starting with 2020 models, omnidirectional safety systems will be connected through people, infrastructure, and vehicles, reducing driver workload and reducing crashes by an estimated 50%.
Starting in 2030, these systems will be extended to pedestrians, motorcyclists, and bikers for everyone’s protection. By 2040 Honda intends to have a collision-free record, and in 2050, Honda expects enormous leaps to be made in car safety, including the creation of a cooperative car society.
All these features and details on Honda’s plans are available at Russell & Smith Honda in Houston, Texas. Head over, and check out their expansive inventory today.
