As you’d expect from Honda, the safety features applied across the 2013 Honda Pilot range as standard is significant, with comprehensive advanced airbags and seatbelts across the entire range. Stability assist, electronic brake distribution, anti-lock brakes, and side-impact door beams are all also supplied as standard, optimizing the handling to ensure a stable, secure, and controlled drive.
Further technologies include Advanced Compatibility Engineering™, which is a Honda-exclusive body design that features a network of powerfully-constructed structural elements to distribute frontal crash energy more evenly, and even helps to disperse the forces transferred to other vehicles involved. Vehicle Stability Assist™ can brake individual wheels and/or reduce engine power in the event of an oversteer or understeer, helping you to regain the intended path.
Front Side Airbags with Passenger-Side Occupant Position Detection System (OPDS) allow the side airbags to inflate in the case of a moderate-to-sever side impact. The OPDS utilizes sensor in the front passenger’s seatback to detect the height and seating of the occupant. If a child or small adult is leaning into the deployment path of the side airbag, the sensors will deactivate it.
With the 2013 Honda Pilot, you can drive confident in the fact that you and your passengers are surrounded by top-notch protection. To learn more about what to expect when driving your new 2013 Honda Pilot, visit us at DCH Academy Honda.
