Honda is an automaker known the world over for the safety of their vehicles, and the 2016 Honda HR-V safety features bring that to a whole new level. Standard safety features like three-point seat belts and a variety of airbags are expected on a vehicle like the HR-V, but Honda’s high-tech standard and available safety features give a whole new meaning to auto safety. While many vehicles require upgrades for modern safety tech, the majority of these new features come standard on every HR-V.
These days, auto safety is as much about preventing accidents as it is about mitigating them, and the HR-V is equipped to do both with features like these:
Multi-Angle Rearview Camera: Get a clear view of what’s behind your crossover from multiple directions; built in guidelines let you know how much room you have when backing up to give you peace of mind.
Tire Pressure Monitoring System: Driving on under-inflated tires can affect traction and fuel economy performance for a two-fold risk: your wallet and your safety. When any of your four tires is low on air pressure, the tire pressure monitoring system lets you know with a light on your dash.
Daytime Running Lights: One of the easiest ways to stay safer on the road is to be visible, and standard daytime running lights greatly increase your visibility to other drivers.
Anti-Lock Brakes with Electronic Brake Distribution: In order to prevent your wheels from locking up, the HR-V has a modulator that automatically pumps your brakes during hard braking, and the electronic brake distribution ensures your brakes apply the right force no matter the weight distribution in your vehicle.
Vehicle Stability Assist with Traction Control: No safety measure is an appropriate replacement for attentive driving, but vehicle stability assist can help adjust your speed or apply the brakes if your HR-V loses traction on the pavement.
