Car of the Week: Honda CR-V
Safety
The all new CR-V further reinstates Honda’s approach to safety. Every CR-V incorporates as standard equipment VSA–Vehicle Stability Assist system; an Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) with EBD and Brake Assist; Dual Front SRS Air Bags, Side-curtain airbags and front-side airbags with a passenger-side Occupant Position Detection System (OPDS); an Advanced Compatibility Engineering™ (ACE™) body structure which helps making the vehicle highly effective at absorbing and dispersing the energy of a frontal crash; G-CON technology; and a Whiplash mitigation front seat design that can help reduce the severity of neck injury in the event of a rear collision.
The newly introducedsophisticated Motion-Adaptive Electric Power Steering (EPS) system works with the standard VSA and Electric Power Steering to detect instability in slippery road conditions both during cornering and under braking and automatically initiates steering inputs that prompt the driver to steer in the correct direction. This advanced new technology supports the driver's action in operating the vehicle more safely and comfortably.
All the AT variants are equipped with a Hill Start Assist (HSA) which prevents the vehicle from rolling on inclines when the driver switches from the brake pedal to the accelerator pedal while the vehicle is stopped on a hill. Hill Start Assist automatically activates when the vehicle senses a certain incline and is fully stopped in any forward or reverse gear.
