The New CR-V - Honda

Safety 29 30Motion Adaptive-EPSMotion Adaptive-Electric Power Steering (MA-EPS) is a new piece of technology thatworks closely with Vehicle Stability Assist (page 31); in the case of oversteer (typicalin snow or on an icy road), it increases the effort needed to add steering to the insideof the curve and lightens effort to counter steer in the opposite direction, at the sametime applying the brakes to the outside wheels only. In other words, it helps you drivecorrectly, and naturally, out of the situation in complete control.Headlight Timer OffSometimes known as ‘coming home lights’, thissystem allows you to let your headlights stay onfor up to 60 seconds after you have turned off theengine, lighting your way as you leave the CR-V.A great deal of complex engineering isat work in the CR-V, keeping you and yourpassengers safe.Honda is committed to building the very best safetyfeatures, most of which come as standard across allgrades, as attested by the Euro NCAP 5 star ratingthe CR-V has been awarded, the maximum ratingavailable in these independent crash tests.Whiplash mitigation front seatsActive Cornering Lights (ACL) ∆The earlier you see changes in the road ahead,the quicker you can react to them, especially ondark or poorly lit roads. The Active Cornering Lightilluminates the turning you are about to take,from the moment you indicate or turn the steeringwheel.In the event of a collision, the seatback springsare optimised so that the seat will more equallyabsorb the occupant’s impact, in a manner thatcan minimise the severity of a whiplash injury.Emergency Stop SignalHill Descent Control*Emergency Stop Signal rapidly flashes the hazard warninglights, warning following drivers if you need to brake heavily,reducing the possibility of a rear end collision.Hill Start Assist (HSA)Hill Start Assist (HSA) prevents roll back when startingon an incline. Using a slope sensor the brake pressure iscontrolled, keeping the car stationary for 1½ secondsafter you release the brake pedal.Electronically Controlled 4WD SystemReal Time All Wheel Drive (AWD) with IntelligentControl System gives the CR-V completelyautomatic, smooth four wheel capabilities in rainand snow, on dirt roads and dry tarmac.SRS AirbagsFor maximum protection, the front airbagsuse a two-stage inflator allowing the timingand force of deployment to vary accordingto severity of impact. Side curtain airbagsprotect the driver and passengers in thefront and back in the case of a side-oncollision, working in conjunction with the3-point Emergency Locking Retractor(ELR) seatbelts.Hill Descent Control (HDC) allows a smoothand controlled hill descent at the push of abutton, without the driver needing to touchthe brake pedal.The system monitors the speed of thevehicle as it descends and if the vehicleaccelerates without any driver input, thesystem will automatically apply the brakesto slow the CR-V down.*Available with automatic transmission only.∆Available on SR and EX grades only.
