Honda’s Commitment to Safety

Along with power, comfort, and convenience, Honda’s commitment to safety is reflected in the innovative driver-assistance technologies and standard safety features in the 2024 Accord, including the following:

Active and Passive Safety Features

The safety features in the 2024 Accord help keep the car stable and occupants safe in the event of an accident. Key active and passive safety features found standard in all 2024 Accord trims include the following:

• Vehicle stability assist with traction control.
• Electronic brake distribution.
• LED daytime running lights.
• Automatic collision notification.
• Advanced air bag systems.
• Seat belt reminders for all seating positions.
• Rear seat reminder.
• Advanced compatibility engineering body structure.

Driver-Assistance Technologies

Honda provided the 2024 Accord with a suite of driver-assistance technologies called Honda Sensing. These features are designed to help prevent accidents and collisions. The advanced driver-assistance system uses a series of cameras, sensors, radar, navigation, alerts, and warnings to help keep you and your family safe on the road.

The key features of Honda Sensing include the following:

• Collision mitigation braking system: The system automatically applies brake pressure if it detects an imminent collision.
• Driver attention monitor: This system monitors your attention and behavior as a driver. If it detects inattention or unusual behavior, it will send visual and audio warnings to the driver information interface. If no action is taken, the system will send a vibration to the steering wheel to alert you.
• Forward collision warning: If you’re about to collide with an object, bicyclist, or pedestrian, you’ll receive a visual and audio warning.
• Road departure mitigation system: If you unintentionally cross or drift out of your lane without using turn signals, the road departure mitigation system helps steer your Accord back to its lane.
• Blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert: When you’re driving and need to see behind or to the side of you, the blind-spot monitor will alert you if there’s another vehicle in your immediate vicinity. In addition, when you’re backing up, the rear cross-traffic alert system will warn you if an object or person is behind you.
• Low-speed brake function: The Touring trim comes with a low-speed brake function to help you park or maneuver the Accord when driving 2-4 mph.
• Lane-keep assist: This system helps you constantly stay centered in your own lane with subtle adjustments to the steering system.
• Traffic jam assist: When you’re in stop-and-go traffic, the traffic jam assist will help you keep the car in its lane and automatically keep your Accord at a safe distance from the car ahead of you.
• Traffic sign recognition: As you drive past important traffic signs such as speed limits, stop signs, and work signs, the information will be displayed on the driver information interface.

Additional Safety Features

You’ll also appreciate the safety features that help you drive in challenging conditions, including the following:

• Rain-sensing windshield wipers.
• Automatic high-beam headlights.
• Adaptive cruise control.
• Hill-start assist.
• Front and rear parking sensors.

As a driver, you’re responsible for keeping the vehicle on the road and making informed decisions on maneuvering the vehicle through traffic and while parking. Honda designed the Touring trim with a 6-inch head-up display that shows pertinent vehicle information to help you keep your eyes on the road. You also get a multiangle rearview camera and a backup camera with grid guidance.
