Standard Safety Features on the 2017 Honda Accord

The 2017 Honda Accord sedan is equipped with a robust suite of safety features that range from passive protective measures to advanced active technologies designed to prevent accidents. Honda engineers have carefully designed this model to provide peace of mind for drivers and passengers alike.

Passive Safety Features

Passive safety features are designed to minimize injury in the event of a collision. The 2017 Accord comes with Honda’s Advanced Compatibility Engineering™ (ACE™) Body Structure, which helps distribute crash energy more evenly in a frontal collision to reduce impact force on occupants. The sedan also includes front, side, and side curtain airbags to provide all-around protection.

To further enhance safety, the Accord is equipped with three-point seat belts in all seating positions, ensuring every passenger has a secure restraint system. Families with young children will appreciate the inclusion of the Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children (LATCH) system, which makes securing a car seat both easier and safer. Additionally, child-proof rear door locks prevent accidental door openings while the vehicle is in motion.

A front seat-belt reminder alerts drivers and passengers if they are not securely buckled up, reinforcing Honda’s commitment to safety. These passive features work together to protect occupants in the event of a crash, but Honda also provides a host of active safety technologies to help prevent accidents from occurring in the first place.

Active Safety Features

The 2017 Honda Accord comes standard with several active safety features designed to enhance driver control and vehicle stability. This includes Vehicle Stability Assist™ (VSA®) with Traction Control, which helps prevent skidding and loss of traction in slippery conditions. Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) ensures that the wheels do not lock up during hard braking, improving steering control during emergency stops.

Brake Assist is also standard, providing extra braking force during sudden stops when the system detects an emergency. Another convenient feature is the multi-angle rearview camera, which enhances visibility when reversing by offering normal, top-down, and wide-angle views.
