SAFETY



Safety & ecology.

Driving, turning, stopping. The new City inspires confidence in all-round protection. Active safety features include ABS and Brake Assist systems, as well as reduced blind areas. Evolutionary advances in G-Force Control technology provide enhanced passive safety shielding.

Helping avoid accidents before occurrence.
 

ABS as a standard feature.
ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) helps prevent the wheels from locking in emergency braking situations and on slippery road surfaces. It increases vehicle stability and control during deceleration to help you avoid accidents.

Driver and front passenger seat airbag system.
In a frontal impact of sufficient strength, the front airbags instantly inflate and deflate to help reduce injury to the driver and front passenger.




Pedestrian injury reduction.
Honda’s comprehensive approach to safety includes enhanced
protection of pedestrians in the event of an accident, using
impact-absorbing front components.
• Impact-absorbing hood
• Impact-absorbing hood hinges
• Impact-absorbing front fenders
• Impact-absorbing wipers
• Impact-absorbing bumpers
• Impact-absorbing supporting section of windshield
3-point ELR seat belts with pretensioners, load limiters.

 
The pretensioner tightens
to prevent forward motion
of the chest.
The load limiter limits excessive pressure on the chest.



Passive safety
Helping protect people when an accident becomes unavoidable.

TECHNOLOGIES FOR MINIMISING INJURIES TO PEDESTRIANS:
Pedestrian injury reduction – Controls forces (G) transferred upon impact from the car body to pedestrians and helps reduce injuries.

TECHNOLOGIES FOR MINIMISING INJURIES TO OCCUPANTS:
Collision safety body – Controls forces exerted on the car body upon impact and helps reduce injuries to occupants.
Occupant restraint system – Controls collision force transferred from the car body to occupants (through use of seatbelts and airbag systems), thus helping improve protection performance and minimising injury.




 
 

Body designed for collision compatibility with
other vehicles as well as greater pedestrian safety.

The new City body is designed to enhance passenger protection through compatibility with other vehicles, reducing damage incurred by impact. This design prevents the vehicle’s shock-absorbent component from jolting out of alignment with that of the other vehicle. At the same time, this design disperses collision impact over as wide an area as possible for greater efficiency of impact absorption and greatly reduced stress on the cabin.

High-level safety performance in collisions from all directions.
Honda performed comprehensive crash testing in pursuit of real-world vehicle occupant safety performance. The new City was tested in full frontal collisions with a barrier at 55km/h, frontal offset collisions at 64km/h, side collisions at 50km/h, and rear-end collisions at 50km/h. All these crash tests showed that the vehicle reduces injuries to occupants and preserves survival space.

Driver and front passenger seat airbag system*
In a frontal impact of sufficient strength, the front airbags
instantly inflate and deflate to help reduce injury to the
driver and front passenger.

* Features and functionality may vary depending on specifications and available equipment.

Note: Airbags function correctly only when seatbelts are properly used.
 
Designed for a greener earth.
Care for the environment. The new City utilises aero-flow, LAF (linear air-fuel), and O2 sensors to monitor and control the air-fuel ratio. This reduces hazardous elements from exhaust gas while using less precious metal in the catalyst. Honda also minimises use of lead, hexavalent chromium, and PVC, and maximises recyclable materials.

Excellent fuel efficiency performance.
A convenient information display supplies useful data on current and average fuel efficiency and estimated travel distance before refuelling. Positively affecting the driver’s psychology, the display provides strong reinforcement for fuel-efficient motoring and makes it easier to drive economically. The new City realises class-leading* fuel efficiency through the synergy of all aspects of vehicle design, including i-VTEC engine, transmission, and body structure.
