Support
Vehicle Stability Assist™ (VSA®) helps sense oversteer or understeer in an emergency situation; then it adjusts brake pressure at each wheel and/or reduces engine power to help restore driver control and keep you on course. Standard 4-wheel anti-lock disc brakes (ABS), with Electronic Brake Distribution (EBD), help you maintain control during hard braking. And because properly inflated tires are crucial for safe operation, the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)[1] alerts the driver when a tire’s pressure reaches a significantly low level.
Just In Case
Sometimes collisions can’t be avoided, so we designed every Accord to help protect you and your passengers in case of a collision. The 2010 Accord features crashworthy in-floor frame rails. All Accord models also benefit from our Advanced Compatibility Engineering™ (ACE™) body structure, which disperses frontal crash energy over a wide area, keeping it away from passengers.
Protected
Front, front side and side curtain airbags come standard on all Accord models to help reduce the likelihood of injuries in a collision. The front side airbags employ a large dual-chamber design, and the front passenger’s side airbag uses the Occupant Position Detection System to prevent deployment if a child or small-statured passenger is out of position and in the airbag’s path of deployment. And active front head restraints help reduce the likelihood of whiplash injuries in a sufficient rear impact.
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.
