Honda’s Approach to Safety |
|
 |
|
| The starting point: respect for the individual |
|
Honda believes in the dignity of each and every person. Our basic principle of respect for the individual is central to our approach to safety. Since the company’s foundation we have applied this principle in all our activities and operations.
For Honda, safety is not just about protecting people who drive our cars or ride our bikes; it’s also about protecting cyclists, pedestrians and the occupants of other vehicles. We want to take care of all those who share the roads in our mobile societies. It’s about safety for everyone. |

| Safer equipment and safety education |
|
Honda is tackling safety issues from both product and educational perspectives. We’re working to ensure that our vehicles deliver the best possible safety performance. We’re also promoting safe driving skills and awareness among our customers and society at large.
Honda has always been in the vanguard of safety, developing its own advanced, intelligent technologies and leading the way in bringing them to market. Honda was the first automaker in Japan to introduce many of the safety technologies used in today’s cars, including three-point seat belts, Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) and SRS airbags. Honda has always been a leader in implementing intelligent technologies and developing both active and passive safety technologies, including car bodies designed to help ensure occupant and pedestrian safety.
As the world’s leading motorcycle manufacturer, Honda has taken the initiative in introducing the first motorcycle airbag system, as well as the Combined Brake System, ABS and other advanced braking systems.
Since the establishment of the Driving Safety Promotion Center in 1970, Honda has continued to be proactive in the promotion of traffic safety education. We have a strong track record in traffic safety education. Our commitment is a constant.
We will continue to pursue both product safety and safety education, as well as the synergistic benefits of both types of initiative, always seeking to contribute to the development of a safer mobility society. |

| The fundamentals of safety technology development |
|
| • Setting ambitious targets: developing advanced safety technology |
|
| Various safety standards for automobiles and motorcycles are in force worldwide. Respecting and proactively complying with the laws and specifications of each country and region, Honda also strives continuously to enhance the safety performance of its products. We believe that safety is a prerequisite of mobility. We’re setting ambitious targets in the ongoing development of our advanced safety technology, optimizing the safety performance of all our products. |

| • Pursuing safety at every stage |
|
Working toward the objective of safety for everyone, Honda is developing technologies and equipment in support of everything from safety training to the provision of postaccident emergency services.
With motorcycles, we’re working on both active and passive safety initiatives, while with automobiles we’re also developing pre-crash safety technology. With power products, our development of a wide range of products has been guided by our own Honda Power Product Safety Requirement. |
