Lute Riley Honda

Every Honda is designed to keep you on course and away from danger.  If equipped, Vehicle Stability Assist(VSA) helps sense oversteer or understeer in an emergency situation, and then adjusts brake pressure at each wheel and/or reduces engine power to help restore driver control and keep you on course. Available 4-wheel anti-lock disk brakes (ABS), with Electronic Brake Distribution (EBD), help you maintain control during hard braking. Properly inflated tires are crucial for safe operation, so the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) alerts the driver when a tire's pressure reaches a significantly low level.

Honda's have been engineered to help protect you and your passengers when collisions just cannot be avoided. In-floor frame rails improve crashworthiness. And our Advance Compatibility Engineering (ACE) body structure disperses frontal crash energy over a wide area, keeping it away from passengers.

Available features include front, front side, and side curtain airbags to help reduce the likelihood of injuries in a collision. The front side airbags employ a large two-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. Our floor mats are secured to the body of the car and can not move. They also allow plenty of room around the accelerator to prevent sticking.

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.

Antilock Braking System (ABS):
Without ABS, if a driver slams on the
brakes, the wheels can lock, causing
skidding and/or a loss of steering
control. With ABS, if sensors detect
that a wheel has stopped turning, the
system automatically starts regulating
the amount of braking pressure, which
can help the driver maintain better
control, possibly allowing him to stop
in a shorter distance on wet or icy
roads, or steer away from a crash.

Electronic Brake Distribution (EBD):
The EBD system has sensors that
closely monitor individual wheel speeds
during braking. The system uses this
information to determine how much
braking pressure to deliver to each
wheel, which results in maximum
braking effectiveness under most
load conditions.

Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA): During a
turn, VSA uses various types of sensors
to determine if the front wheels are
about to plow forward and/or the rear
wheels are about to skid outward.
Depending on the situation, VSA can
regulate the amount of engine power
