Honda SENSING is one of the most advanced suites of safety technologies available, designed to keep you and your passengers safer.

Lane Departure Warning: If the car moves out of its lane without you activating the indicator, then alerts will flash and sound, to help bring your attention to correcting the lane drift.

Lane Keeping Assist System: Helps keep you in the middle of your lane, providing a less stressful driving experience by reducing the need for steering correction movements and driving effort on the motorway.

intelligent - Adaptive Cruise Control: This feature detects if a vehicle driving in an adjacent lane intends to cut in front of you and adjusts the speed of your Civic in advance. It also helps you maintain the distance between you and the car in front, so you don’t have to manually change your speed.

Adaptive Cruise Control with Low-Speed Following: This function maintains a set cruising speed and following distance relative to the vehicle in front of you. If the detected vehicle comes to a stop, the function will decelerate and stop your vehicle without you having to keep your foot on the brake. Once the car in front starts moving again simply tap the accelerator to resume the operation. (*Low Speed Following only available on versions equipped with CVT)

Collision Mitigation Braking System: If there is a possibility of a collision with a vehicle or a pedestrian this feature will alert you to the danger as well as reducing your speed to help minimise the severity of any impact.

Road Departure Mitigation: A windscreen mounted camera detects whether the car is veering off the road and uses the Electric Power Steering to apply subtle corrections to keep your vehicle in its lane. In certain conditions, it can also apply braking force.

Traffic Sign Recognition: The Traffic Sign Recognition system identifies traffic signs and relays this information to you via a visual display. Two signs can be displayed at any one time.

Intelligent Speed Limiter: Cleverly combines the existing adjustable speed limiter function with the Traffic Sign Recognition system, to automatically set the speed limit to that which the Traffic Sign Recognition system detects.

This technology helps keep the Civic on course in adverse driving conditions by detecting, then mitigating, potential understeer or oversteer. When necessary, VSA automatically reduces engine power and manages brake pressure to individual wheels to help regain control.
