What Makes Honda Vehicles So Safe?

By

Long celebrated for their impeccable safety, the 2016 models garnered an impressive 4 Top Safety Pick awards from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. From sedans to minivans to SUV’s, find out what makes Honda vehicles so safe:

Forward Collision Warning

This innovative feature available on the Honda Odyssey and other models relies on forward facing cameras on the vehicles front grille or windshield. When the camera detects that you’re dangerously close to approaching another vehicle, the Forward Collision Warning system alerts you with visual or audible alerts.

Anti-Lock Braking System

An anti-lock braking system (ABS) is a critical safety feature for Honda vehicles, and you’ll find it on every model that Honda produces. This feature relies on four-wheel disc brakes that pulse when the driver brakes firmly. ABS stops the wheels from locking up and allows the driver to keep control over the steering wheel, even when braking during an emergency. For more protection, all vehicles have Brake Assist and Electronic Brake Distribution, which distributes braking power to all four wheels for maximum control and stability.

Vehicle Stability Assist

Since you never know what kind of driving conditions you’ll encounter, all Honda models come equipped with Vehicle Stability Assist. This feature automatically applies brake pressure to one or more wheels when you understeer or oversteer. It also offers traction control to lower engine power, ensuring that you stay the course without losing control.

Tire Pressure Monitoring System

Tire pressure can significantly impact vehicle safety. Overinflated tyres lead to poor grip and an uncomfortable ride, while underinflated tyres cause uneven wear that can lead to problems with grip down the line. Honda models offer a tire pressure monitoring system that constantly checks your vehicle’s tyre pressure and alerts you when it approaches a dangerously low level.

Rear view Camera

The Honda Accord and several other models feature a Rear view Camera to help drivers reverse safely. Most models offer a multi-angle camera with guidelines so you can see a normal view, from the top down, or from a wide angle.

Front and Side Curtain Airbags

In the event of an accident, airbags are a critical safety feature. Every Honda vehicle has front dual-stage, multiple-threshold airbags that inflate at various rates depending on the circumstances. Models like the Honda CR-V also have SmartVent front side airbags to prevent serious injury to the driver and front passenger in more serious accidents. All models include side-curtain airbags to protect passengers from side impacts.

Whether you’re in the market for a family-friendly eventful journey or a sporty coupe, you can rely on Honda for advanced safety options. From stability assistance to rear view cameras, these Honda models have you covered

5 Reasons we love the Honda HR-V (and you will too)

By

The Honda HR-V, which underwent a facelift in late 2018, has been shaking up the SUV/Crossover segment in South Africa since its introduction to the market in 2015. Below, we’ll highlight five reasons we love the most stylish yet Honda HR-V (and why you will too).

  1. Dynamic Styling

    2. The Honda HR-V proves that you don’t have to sacrifice style for practicality with its modern styling and strong sculptural lines which evokes a sense of sport car and SUV, making it the perfect companion for any driver.

  2. Honda’s Magic Seats

    3. You’ll never be short on space. With the cleverly designed compartments and streamlined interior design which maximises storage capacity making sure you have enough space for the things that matter most – your passengers.

    Moreover, Honda’s Magic Seat System provides you with the opportunity to further enhance the luggage space capabilities of the HR-V.

    • Tall Mode
      • By flipping up the rear seats, you are able to take full advantage of the space between the floor and the ceiling for a quick trip to the nursery or a full-on hardware shopping spree.
    • Long Mode
      • The things you need on an expedition won’t always be in the right shape. Simply fold the seats on one side of the HR-V completely flat to create a long space for awkward items like a surfboard or long planks.
    • Utility Mode
      • By folding the rear seats completely flat, your space is instantly maximised, and you can easily pack all the equipment for your camping trip in the back of your HR-V.
  3. The obsession with safety

    4. The practicality and styling of the HR-V is great, but it means nothing without advanced safety features – the most important feature of any car.

    Rest assured that the Honda HR-V is equipped with all the safety features you’ll need to keep yourself and your loved ones safe on the road, like:

    • Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA)
      • l>The HR-V is able to detect oversteer or understeer and automatically adjust its path for stability and safety.
    • Airbags
      • The clever Honda i-SRS driver airbag inflates at different rates depending on the severity of the impact, seatbelt usage, and a whole lot of other factors to keep you safe.
    • Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) with Electronic Brake Force Distribution (EBD)
      • ABS provide the Honda HR-V with superior braking power, and when emergency braking is detected, Brake Assist applies maximum braking pressure while EBD monitors and adjusts the brake force on each wheel.
  4. Entertainment galore

    5. The Honda HR-V is not only the most stylish yet, it’s also the most entertaining – with connectivity features like Bluetooth hands free connectivity, USB and HDMI ports, display audio and steering mounted audio controls.

  5. Ride quality

    6. Ultimately, you still want to enjoy a decent ride quality – on which the HR-V delivers in spades.

    The HR-V offers a quiet ride with a reassuringly solid feel to the steering and has a sure-footed road-holding feel to it. As comfortable on the gravel road as it is as a people-mover during the week.

Allow yourself to experience The Power of Dreams in the most stylish yet Honda HR-V at your nearest CMH Honda dealer.

What to keep in your car emergency kit

By

What to pack in your car emergency kit! There’s nothing worse, or more dangerous, than getting stuck on the side of the road with a broken-down car. Whether you’re 5km or 50km away from your destination, keeping an updated emergency kit in your car could be a life-saving decision. By keeping the following items in your car emergency kit, you will be prepared for any situation.
  1. EMERGENCY TRIANGLE
    • One of the leading causes of serious accidents are stationary vehicles which are hit by other vehicles travelling at high speeds.
    • If your car is stationary anywhere on a public road, switch your hazard lights on immediately and then place the emergency triangle on the roadway at least 45m from the back of your vehicle, facing traffic approaching from the rear. This will ensure that your car is visible to other road users and allow them enough time to slow down.
  2. FIRE EXTUINGISHER
    • This is a factor that many drivers don’t even consider when it comes to your car emergency kit, but it could mean the difference between life or death.
    • Ensure that you regularly check the expiry date on your fire extinguisher. Fire spreads quickly, and in most cases the fire department simply can’t get to the scene fast enough.
  3. FIRST AID KIT
    • Although many vehicles are fitted with a standard first aid kit, which could be very handy, it is a good idea to spruce it up a little by adding a few additional items.
    • Keep critical medicines in the car for any family member with a serious medical condition. Because some medicines cannot be stored in hot temperatures, look for alternatives that you could use in order to buy you some time in case of an emergency.
  4. POWER BANK
    • Yes, you could charge your phone in the car – but what do you do when you get stuck on the side of the road with an unresponsive car AND a dead cell phone?
    • Keep a fully charged power bank in your car for emergency situations like this, the possibility of you ever needing it might be really odd, but you’ll be extremely grateful when the time comes and you need it.
  5. SNACKS AND WATER
    • Getting stuck on the side of the road is not an episode of “Survivor”. But if you do a quick survey amongst your colleagues or friends, you are likely to hear a story or two about how one of them got stuck on the side of the road for hours.
    • An accident or overturned truck could delay you for hours. If you have children with you, it’s even more important to keep them hydrated while you wait for help or for an accident scene to be cleared.
  6. FLASHLIGHT
    • Keep a decent flash light in your car at all times and regularly check the batteries. It could help save your life in case of an accident by helping you check for serious injuries, find your cell phone or your first aid kit. It could also help flag down passing vehicles or identify your location if the car has left the road during the accident.
  7. COPY OF YOUR DRIVER’S LICENSE AND MEDICAL AID DETAILS
    • If you’re involved in an accident, the odds of first responders being able to access your phone seems unlikely, and they will revert to checking your emergency kit for details. It’s simply extra insurance.
  8. JUMPER CABLES
    • Even a brand-new car can suffer from a flat battery and it is therefore a good idea to keep a pair of jumper cables in your car.
  9. TYRE REPAIR KIT
    • Not only is a flat tyre frustrating, but if you get stuck on the wrong road (or a busy one), it could be extremely dangerous. Most tyre repair kits are a quick fix that will at least allow you to drive to the nearest service station.

10 Tips to make sure your car is ready for winter

By

We have all heard the expression “Prevention is better than cure”, and with winter right on our doorstep we’ve compiled a list of tips to ensure that your car is as ready for winter as you are.
  1. Change your oil
    • Although this is something that needs to be done when needed, it’s especially important during winter months. You may even need to change the type of oil you use altogether. Your owner’s manual will give you clarity on which viscosity you should be using during colder temperatures. Winter generally requires a thinner oil.
  2. Check the ratio on your engine coolant (antifreeze)
    • A ratio of 50/50 is acceptable during normal weather conditions but should be amended to 60/40 in winter.
  3. Check your battery
    • There’s nothing more frustrating than being stuck with a dead battery, in colder temperatures your engine needs more current from the battery in order to start.
    • As a first step, make sure you have enough charge left in your battery. Switch on the headlights before you start your engine. Then turn the engine on – if the lights get brighter, it could be an indication that your battery is dying.
    • You can also test the actual voltage with a voltmeter or take your car to a mechanic to test it for you.
    • Check the battery cables for any cracks or brakes and finally ask a mechanic to check the battery fluid for you and top it up if needed.
  4. Change your washer fluid and windshield wipers
    • Get yourself a washer fluid with antifreeze solution. Windshield wipers should be replaced every 6 – 12 months depending on the amount of exposure to harsh weather conditions they receive. Rather play it safe by replacing your windshield wipers if they start looking worn down.
  5. Get a basic service
    • The service interval for most Honda vehicles (and many other brands) are every 15,000km. If your scheduled service interval is likely to fall in the middle of winter, you might want to take it in a little early. At a Honda workshop we will check your belts and hoses, ignition, brakes, wiring, spark plugs and all filters as part of a basic service.
  6. Check your defroster and heater
    • If you want to remain safe on the road this winter, you need your defroster and heater to work properly. Both of which can be costly to repair. One tip to save you money on an expensive defroster repair is to check for any air leaks around the doors and windows. These leaks can allow in extra moisture which will make it seem like you have a broken defroster.
  7. Check your tyres.
    • Check the tread for wear and tear and check your owner’s manual to see what the correct air pressure in your tyres should be during winter months.
  8. Keep your fuel tank filled
    • We can all agree that keeping your fuel tank filled is always a good idea, but there’s actually a pretty good reason behind why this is important during the winter.
    • Apparently, cold weather can cause condensation to form in an empty or near empty fuel tank. The water can drip down into the fuel and travel to the bottom where it can then travel into your fuel lines. In winter, it can freeze in your fuel lines and block the flow of fuel to your engine.
  9. Get your car detailed
    • This is not necessary, but if you’re worried about your car’s paint job it’s a good idea. It’s also a good idea to get a car wax that coats the body panels, which will help protect the paint from snow and salt damage.
  10. Beef up your car emergency kits
    • If you don’t already have a car emergency kit – now is the time to get one. If you do have one, then now is the time to ensure it’s ready for any emergency winter could bring your way.
We say “Bring on the cold – we’re winter ready.
