How Honda Technologies Protect Your Family This Winter

For Honda drivers, peace of mind isn't an option—it’s a priority. Faced with the unpredictable conditions of Quebec winters, from black ice to sudden snowstorms, owning a reliable vehicle is essential. At Honda Île-Perrot, we know you count on your vehicle to transport what matters most. Here is how Honda engineering and the Honda Sensing® suite work actively to keep you safe on the road.

ACE™ Body Structure: The Invisible Protection

Honda safety begins with what you can’t see: the Advanced Compatibility Engineering™ body structure. In the event of an unavoidable collision on a slippery road, this structure is designed to absorb impact energy and disperse it away from the passenger cabin. This passive engineering, combined with precise vehicle stability management, ensures that your Honda remains one of the safest fortresses for your family, regardless of the weather's whims.

Real Time AWD™: Intelligent Responsiveness

The Real Time AWD system with Intelligent Control acts proactively by preventing wheel spin before it even occurs. Unlike traditional mechanical systems, it uses electronic sensors to instantly distribute torque to the rear wheels the moment a loss of traction is detected. Whether you are behind the wheel of a CR-V or a Pilot, this technology ensures increased directional stability when pulling away from icy intersections or tackling steep inclines, offering constant control without manual intervention.

Honda Sensing®: Your Second Pair of Eyes in the Snow

The Honda Sensing® suite of safety and driver-assist technologies is designed to compensate for reduced winter visibility. The Collision Mitigation Braking System™ can detect vehicles slowing abruptly ahead of you and apply the brakes if a collision seems imminent—a major asset on slippery surfaces where stopping distances are increased. Furthermore, the Lane Keeping Assist System helps you stay on track if wind or blowing snow partially obscure the road markings.

Visibility and Thermal Comfort

Safety also depends on driver alertness. This is why Honda’s comfort technologies, such as heated mirrors, wiper de-icers, and high-visibility LED headlights, are essential. By maintaining a clear view and an optimal cabin temperature, Honda vehicles reduce driver fatigue, allowing you to stay fully focused on road conditions.
