You likely already know the 2026 Honda Civic for its sporty style, excellent efficiency, and long-term reliability, but did you know this sedan is also reassuringly safe? Each of the four trims of the 2026 Honda Civic comes standard with Honda Sensing®, an advanced suite of driver-assist and safety features. Here at Heritage Honda Westminster, we provide a deep dive on how these safety technologies work and how they help with every journey.
Collision Prevention and Lane Mitigation Technologies
The first functions of the Honda Sensing® safety features are to prevent collisions and keep you centered in your lane. The Collision Mitigation Braking System™ uses a wide-view camera and radar sensors to detect potential frontal impacts with vehicles or pedestrians and then automatically applies brake pressure if a collision becomes imminent. At the same time, the Road Departure Mitigation System™ monitors road markings and applies steering inputs or braking if the vehicle strays from the paved surface without a signal. These features work with the Forward Collision Warning System™ to keep you safe in traffic.
Traffic Monitoring and Driving Assistance Systems
In addition to preventing accidents, Honda Sensing® features intelligent driver-assist features that manage your speed and lane position. For example, Adaptive Cruise Control with Low-Speed Follow™ automatically maintains a set interval behind preceding traffic, slowing down and accelerating smoothly without any intervention from the driver. When traffic slows down, Traffic Jam Assist operates with Lane Keeping Assist to provide gentle steering guidance at lower speeds. Finally, Traffic Sign Recognition reads posted speed limits and displays them on the driver display.
