Interior - Comfort and Convenience

Question 1

Dual-Zone Automatic Climate Control (Accord, Civic, Clarity and CR-V)

Answer 1

What’s the Benefit?
Passengers can tailor the interior temperature to their individual preferences for greater comfort. This system offers independent left and right temperature controls.
* A single temperature can be selected for the entire cabin, or the driver and front passenger can individually set the temperature they prefer.
* On navigation-equipped models, the system uses global positioning system (GPS) technology to monitor the sun’s position, and adjusts accordingly.

Question 2

Tri-Zone Automatic Climate Control System with Humidity Control and Air Filtration (Odyssey, Pilot and Ridgeline)

Answer 2

What’s the Benefit?
This climate-control system helps maintain a comfortable environment for passengers while helping to filter out allergens for sensitive occupants.

What it does?
The advantages of selecting individual temperature levels for three areas of the cabin are further enhanced by the filtering and conditioning functions.
* It’s capable of filtering nearly 100 percent of particulates over 8 microns in size (the size of most pollen), as well as about 40 percent of particulates down to 0.3 microns (about the size of diesel emissions).
* The tri-zone automatic climate-control system lets the driver, front passenger d and rear passengers adjust temperature and air distribution to automatically meet their needs.
* Both front and rear systems are controllable by the driver.
* With the press of a button, the rear system can be independently adjusted using the control panel in the second row.
* On models equipped with navigation, the system uses data from the onboard global positioning system receiver to automatically adjust fan speed to compensate for heating from direct sunlight.
* Tri-zone automatic climate control also features humidity control designed to automatically prevent the windows from fogging.

Question 5

Blind Spot Information System (BSI) (Accord, CR-V, Odyssey, Pilot and Ridgeline)

Answer 5

The Feature:
Select models include an innovative and useful blind spot information (BSI) system.14
* A pair of sensors, one on each rear corner of the vehicle, can detect a vehicle that may be positioned in the driver’s blind spot.
* An indicator located in or near the side mirrors alerts the driver.
* If BSI detects an object in the vehicle’s blind spot when the turn signal is on in that direction, the indicator flashes to catch the driver’s attention.
* Engineered for relatively close range, the system covers an area on each side of the vehicle from each exterior mirror extending about 13 feet rearward and 10.5 feet out from the side of the vehicle.
* To prevent false alarms while maneuvering at low speed, the system is disabled below approximately 6 mph.

  • The windows can be lowered for up to 30 seconds after one of the other unlock functions has been used.
• On select models, the key cylinder on the driver’s door unlocks the driver’s door or all doors, and will also lower the windows and open the moonroof.
  
  • Turning the key clockwise once unlocks the driver’s door.
  • Turning it a second time unlocks all the doors.
  • Holding the key in the unlock position for more than one second lowers all the windows and opens the moonroof.
• On select models, the key may also be used to lock all the doors, raise the windows and close the moonroof.
