The Ridgeline’s integrated full-frame body structure is designed to help protect its occupants while reducing the effect of crash energy on opposing vehicles for improved compatibility with smaller vehicles. It also has pedestrian safety features such as breakaway windshield wiper pivots and energy-absorbing bonnet structure and hinges.
Other safety features include dual-stage, dual-threshold front airbags; vehicle stability assist with traction control; side curtain airbags with rollover sensor; driver’s and front passenger’s side airbags, passenger side occupant position detection system; anti-lock brakes; and electronic brake assist.
