Honda Civic Style & Appearance Due to the three distinctive body styles, the appearance of each model offers similar design implementations, but carries its own unique look. The Honda Civic sedan features a sleek and stylish body design that encompasses a performance-based display. It features smooth-accented curves that not only highlight the front fascia, but also draw attention to the cascading rear windshield. The Honda Civic coupe is a bit more refined than the sedan, but still includes the performance aesthetics to boast the vehicle s turbo engine and its abilities. What separates the coupe from the sedan is its more compact frame, but also its arching exterior cabin that smoothly transitions to the trunk. The coupe adds a luxurious feel to the Honda Civic style. The hatchback body style carries the overall appearance of both the sedan and coupe designs, but with a few different aesthetic choices. The front fascia features the honeycombed vents and the sleek grille, but its overall body is different from the other two body styles. This is more noticeable with the rear because the Civic hatchback features a cargo space inside the cab rather than the trunk. BramanHonda.com 5

6 Active & Passive Safety Features Active Safety Each Honda Civic body style features a few braking systems that are include with the Anti-Lock Brakes. Vehicle Stability Assist with Traction Control comes in handy while traveling during slippery road conditions. This feature detects wheel slip and works to provide the necessary brake pressure while reducing engine speed to prevent the vehicle from losing more traction. These systems work together to keep the vehicle on its intended path. The Electronic Brake Distribution works by varying the amount of brake pressure that is applied to both the front and rear wheels. It works to provide more control during braking. The Brake Assist feature can detect panicked braking, and it helps add full braking power to get the vehicle to come to a stop. The Honda Civic also features the Multi-Angle Rearview Camera with Guidelines. This feature allows the driver to transition between different views to provide more precision to reverse driving. The Dynamic Guidelines show where the vehicle will go based on its reverse angle. The Tire Pressure Monitoring System sends a dashboard warning symbol when one or more of the tires drop in air pressure and require a fill-up. Passive Safety Each Honda Civic version comes designed with the Advanced Compatibility Engineering Body Structure. This structure includes reinforced outer braces that are designed to withstand a collision. They ll absorb the force of the collision and disperse it away from the passengers inside the cabin. The inside of the cabin features advanced front airbags, which can automatically adjust their rate of inflation to provide enough protection based on the severity of the crash. This is in an effort to reduce airbag-related injuries like whiplash. The front passengers also receive protection from the SmartVent Front Side Airbags in the event of a side impact. Both front and rear passengers receive head protection from the side curtain airbags. These airbags feature a rollover sensor, which can detect when the wheels lift off the ground, so it can inflate the airbags prior to a rollover to help provide protection and cushioning for the passengers.

7 Optional Honda Sensing Features The Honda Civic offers Honda Sensing features as an optional upgrade. These features utilize front-mounted sensors to provide extra convenience, security, precision, and protection to the performance of the vehicle. Honda LaneWatch features cameras mounted into the side mirror to provide a clear view of the blind spot from the 7-inch touchscreen. This feature displays a live video feed to the driver, so they can prepare for a lane change without the risk of a vehicle approaching the blind spot. The Lane Keeping Assist System can detect the lines in the road, and it activates when the vehicle begins to stray from the lane. It ll provide slight brake pressure to reduce the drifting, but ultimately requires driver intervention to prevent the vehicle from continuing to drift out of its lane.

This system will maintain the preferred distance even if the vehicle ahead begins to slow down.
