ASEAN NCAP Safety Rating
Euro NCAP has created the five-star safety rating system for vehicles by assigning them one to five stars to help consumers, their families and businesses compare vehicles more easily and to help them identify the safest choice for their needs. The safety rating is determined from a series of vehicle tests, designed and carried out by Euro NCAP. These tests represent, in a simplified way, important real-life accident scenarios that could result in injured or killed car occupants or other road users.
NHTSA Frontal Crash Test Ratings
NHTSA rates crash-tested vehicles by assigning them one to five stars, with five stars indicating the most injury protection and one star indicating the least protection.
Driver's - 5 Stars
Passenger's - 5 Stars
Overall Front -5 Stars
Overall Side - 5 Stars
Overall Rollover Rating -5 Stars
Overall - 5 Stars
Side - Pole - 5 Stars
Side Barrier Rating Driver - 5 Stars
Side Barrier Rating Passenger Rear Seat - 5 Stars
Side - Barrier - 5 Stars
Side - Pole Barrier combined (FRONT) - 5 Stars
Side - Pole Barrier combined (REAR) - 5 Stars
Anti-lock brakes (ABS) Electronic Brake Distribution (EBD) & Brake Assist
ABS brakes automatically sense when a tire has stopped rotating under extreme braking, and will modulate the brake pressure to allow the tire to rotate. This increases the vehicles ability to turn while braking.
Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS)8 is one of the most sophisticated safety systems available.
It incorporates the features of the Forward Collision Warning (FCW)9system. A part of the Honda Sensing suite of technologies, CMBS is designed to alert drivers of a potential collision via visual and audible alerts and help the driver take corrective actions. The system can even apply the brakes to help reduce the forces of a collision if the system determines one to be unavoidable. The system is designed to perform in three stages:
STAGE ONE: If the system determines there is a risk of collision with a vehicle or pedestrian detected ahead, it will issue visual and audible alerts to the driver.
STAGE TWO: If the risk of a collision increases and the driver takes no action, the system will continue the visual and audible alerts, and begin to apply light braking.
STAGE THREE: If the system determines that a collision is unavoidable, it will continue the visual and audible alerts, and apply strong braking to help mitigate the forces of the collision.
Important Note: CMBS on the Civic Hatchback will not be able to apply enough braking force to prevent all collisions. CMBS also cannot detect all objects ahead; the driver must intervene in certain situations, and must always be attentive when using the system. Also, CMBS may not go through all three stages, and may automatically engage the final stage if the system deems it necessary
Vehicle Stability Assist™ (VSA®) with traction control
Stability control automatically senses when the vehicles handling limits have been exceeded and reduces engine power and/or applies select brakes to help prevent the driver from losing control of the vehicle.
Front-impact airbags (i-SRS)
Front-impact airbags for the driver and passenger have been designed to protect the head during a frontal crash.
SmartVent® front side airbags
The SmartVent® design enhances performance by helping to minimize the possibility of airbag injury, especially to small-statured passengers.
Side impact airbags
Side impact airbags for the front seats have been designed to protect the torso during a side impact collision.
Overhead airbags
Overhead airbags are used to protect the occupant's heads in the event of a side collision or rollover.
Pretensioners
Seatbelt pretensioners automatically tighten seatbelts to place the occupant in the optimal seating position during a collision.
Security system
The vehicle is equipped with a means of anticipating and/or detecting unwanted vehicle intrusion. The vehicle is equipped with an ignition disable device that will prevent the engine from starting if the correct original manufacturer key is not used.
