The 2012 Crosstour Sedan performance meets all-weather, all-conditions handling. That’s the idea behind the available Real Time 4Wd system. It helps to give you traction in low-grip driving conditions, along with a faster, more intuitive initial response when a loss of traction is detected. for added control and the signature accord responsiveness the Honda Crosstour is equipped with an independent double-wishbone front and multi-link double-wishbone rear suspension.

Safety For everyone is our commitment to providing one of the highest levels of standard safety features to help ensure occupant safety and protection. And through real-world research, honda is also focusing on developing unequalled measures of protection to enhance the safety of occupants in other vehicles and even pedestrians an innovative idea that is quickly becoming a reality. Body structure. The highly innovative advanced Compatibility Engineering (aCE)
body structure disperses frontal impact energy, increasing occupant protection. additionally,
the aCE frame design allows for collision compatibility between vehicles of diferent weights and sizes. Honda Crosstour stability assist (vsa). vehicle stability assist with Traction Control senses and corrects oversteer and understeer scenarios to enhance handling and cornering stability,
while Traction Control helps ensure grip during acceleration on loose or slippery surfaces.
pedestrian safety. Innovative pedestrian safety features include energy-absorbing hood
and front fenders, and breakaway wiper pivots.

The 2012 Hoda Crosstour has an Advanced Compatibility EngineeringTM (ACETM) body structure. This Honda exclusive design enhances occupant protection and crash compatibility in frontal collisions. By dispersing crash energy more evenly throughout the front of the vehicle, less force is transmitted to the passenger compartment. To help reduce the likelihood of whiplash injuries, the front seats have active head restraints. They move up and forward in a sufficient rear collision. All five passengers benefit from 3-point seat belts. And the front seat belts are equipped with an automatic tensioning system that will tighten in a moderate-to-severe frontal impact.

Brake Assist, a component of the anti-lock braking system (ABS), helps apply full braking force in some emergency situations. Electronic Brake Distribution (EBD) helps balance braking forces,
depending upon dynamic loading. The Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)7 will notify
the driver when air pressure is significantly low. The Crosstour’s standard front, front side and side curtain airbags* can help reduce the likelihood of injuries in a collision. The side curtain airbags also feature a rollover sensor. The front passenger’s side airbag uses the Occupant Position Detection System (OPDS) to help prevent deployment if a child or smallstatured passenger is out of position and in the airbag’s path of deployment.

Outboard rear seats have the LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tethers for CHildren) child-restraint system. During oversteer or understeer, Vehicle Stability AssistTM (VSA can brake individual wheels and/or reduce engine power to help restore your intended course. Airbags inflated for display purposes. Honda reminds you and your passengers to always buckle up. Children 12 and under are safest when properly restrained in the rear seat. VSA is not a substitute for safe
driving. It cannot correct the vehicle’s course in every situation or compensate for reckless driving. Control of the vehicle always remains with the driver.
