Troy Honda Dealer Shows Customers the Benefits of Honda Safety Technologies

Online, July 19, 2011 (Newswire.com) - Vehicle safety has been a priority of Honda's for years. As an automotive leader in airbag innovations, crash testing and pedestrian safety, it is clear why Honda is a Top Safety Pick. Troy Honda is informing customers how these new safety features can benefit them while out on the road.

Honda remains at the forefront of advanced airbag technology, creating the first front passenger airbag that deploys vertically instead of directly toward the passenger. In addition, all current Honda models are equipped with innovative side curtain airbags.

Honda has also recognized the need to further protect against collisions between cars of different size, weight and height. As a result, Honda produced the Advanced Compatibility Engineering™ (ACE™) body type. This body structure provides greater safety for passengers if a frontal collision occurs.

In addition to Honda's many safety technologies, the automaker proves its safety with its numerous vehicle safety awards. Using newly updated safety rating criteria, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHSTA) gave the 2011 Honda Accord the first 5-star Overall Vehicle Score as well as a 5-star rating for the frontal, side crash, and rollover categories. Furthermore, the 2011 Honda Odyssey is the first minivan the NHSTA has ever given a 5-star Overall Vehicle Score. The Insurance Institute of Highway Safety also gave the 2011 Odyssey a "Top Safety Pick" rating.

These are just a few of Honda's safety technologies. Everyone at Troy Honda is committed to keeping drivers as safe as possible on the road. To learn more about Honda vehicles, visit Troy Honda at http://troyhonda.com/.
