2016 ホンダクーペの概要と完全な仕様、アクセサリー、安全機能、インテリアの詳細、ボディの詳細、オーディオと接続性

Auto Central, February 22, 2016; The creation of the new 10th-generation Honda Civic represents one ofthe most comprehensive and ambitious new-model developments ever undertakenby Honda, requiring an unprecedented commitment of R&D resources and Hondaengineering prowess. While the development of the Honda Civic Coupe, togetherwith the Civic Sedan, was led by a North American team – a first forHonda and Civic – the overall Civic series involves design andengineering teams from Honda R&D, as well as sales and manufacturingoperations from around the world, especially in North America and Japan,but also in Europe, South America and Asia.

In seeking to realize a "dynamic rejuvenation" of Civic and create a newinterpretation "in a league of its own," as the development team definedits mission, Honda engineers set out early during platform development tobenchmark the world's best C-segment vehicles—not only products inCivic's traditional competitive set, but luxury compact class vehicles aswell.

Their evaluation of the world's best products involved extensivereal-world testing, ultimately targeting European luxury vehicles for thenew Civic's ride, handling, steering and NVH (noise, vibration andharshness), and also its interior quality and refinement.

Achieving these lofty aims while meeting requirements for an affordablecompact car, in terms of cost, fuel efficiency and manufacturability,stretched the limits of the global Civic team's engineering capability anddemanded new thinking and new approaches to body construction, vehicleaerodynamics, powertrain and chassis design. The result of these efforts isa completely reimagined and reinvented new Civic, the sportiest Civic ever,and a new benchmark in the compact class in terms of spaciousness, fuelefficiency, safety features, interior quality and dynamic performance.

With many design features introduced on the Civic Sedan, the Civic Coupetakes the sporty styling and dynamic capabilities of the sedan even furtherfor a unique performance coupe experience that is both stylish and fun todrive, but also surprisingly spacious for its compact exterior and featurepacked. The new Civic Coupe is athletic, charismatic andconnected.

What's New?Virtually everything about the 2016Civic Coupe is new – an all-new vehicle architecture, sporty andsophisticated new interior and exterior styling, a more spacious andhigh-quality cabin, two advanced new engines, and a host of new premiumfeatures and technologies.

Further, with the addition of Honda Sensing™ safety anddriver-assistive technologies on the Touring trim and the first applicationof Honda turbo engine technology to Civic on the EX-T and above trims, the2016 Civic Coupe offers buyers a wider range of options than ever before.Civic models powered by the new 2.0-liter i-VTEC™ engine aredesignated as the Civic LX and LX-P trims. Civic models powered by the newturbocharged 1.5-liter engine are designated as the EX-T, EX-L (withleather-trimmed interior) and new line-topping Civic Touring, which reacheshigher into the upper end of the compact car market than ever before.

Major new technologies, features and capabilities of the 2016 CivicCoupe, depending on trim, are as follows:

Exterior DesignEngineering and design merged todevelop the Civic Coupe body, embracing both fundamental physics such asinertia and a sporty character like a hot three-door hatchback. The taut,tidy and sporty overall proportions of the new Civic Coupe are complementedand accentuated by its performance inspired design details, including itssleek, swept-back bodylines, its sharp and aggressive face, and its bulgingwheel arches. The hood features sharply defined character lines that drawthe eye forward and down to the Civic's aggressive new face, highlighted bya chrome-plated Honda "wing" that runs the full width of the front fasciaand is flanked by available new LED headlights in an in-lineconfiguration.

The new Civic's ultra-thin A-pillars lend the cabin an open, airyfeeling with excellent forward visibility, while the aggressively slopedroof line connects seamlessly with gracefully arching C-pillars that carrythe curvature of the roof rearward to the outside rear corners of the longdeck, where they intersect with distinctive C-shaped "light-pipe" LEDtaillights forming a continuous line across the rear.

The sharply creased and curving upper-body side line swells over therear wheel arches and curves aggressively inward to join the upper bend ofthe distinctive LED taillights, while the upswept lower-body side line isbisected by the bulging rear wheel arches before bending inward to meet upwith the rear bumper's upper surface. The overall effect is one of dynamismand premium quality with an unmistakable and yet thoroughly modern Civicdesign aesthetic.

Interior PackageHonda's vehicle packagingexpertise, along with the Civic's longer wheelbase and wider body, resultsin the most spacious interior in the competitive class. With 91.0 cubicfeet of available passenger space (LX) and 88.6 cubic feet (LX-P and abovetrims), the 2016 Civic Coupe delivers top-of-class comfort by giving itsoccupants a sense of spaciousness and premium comfort beyond the compactclass with ample headroom, legroom, shoulder clearance and side headclearance.

A class leading 84.3 degrees of forward visibility is aided by a new,ultra-thin A-pillar design, 18.2 mm (0.72 inch) narrower than the A-pillarin the outgoing 2015 Civic. Even the forward visibility of rear-seatoccupants is taken into account, as the new Civic features newly shapedfront seatbacks and a smaller head restraint.

More legroom for the driver is made possible by the reduced intrusion ofthe instrument panel into the driver's knee space, while rear-seat footroom is improved by a 27 mm (1.1 inches) wider space between the front seatrails. Trunk room has also been significantly increased, by 0.2 cubic-feetto 12.1 cubic-feet (LX), among the largest in the compact class, with alower lift over height, larger rear opening, and wider and taller cargoarea than the outgoing model. An all-new reconfigurable center console,with up to 7.2 liters of storage space, can hold multiple full-size tabletsor an oversized water bottle with the console lid closed.

Interior Design The completely new interior of the2016 Civic Coupe is designed to have the same exciting, modern andsophisticated exterior styling while providing enhanced comfort,leading-edge technology and class-leading quality. The 2016 Civic Coupetakes Civic interior quality to a new level. High quality,soft-to-the-touch materials are applied liberally—to the instrumentpanel, front door sash and door inserts and the larger, more thickly paddedcenter armrest. Fit, finish and materials quality throughout the cabin havebeen thoroughly modernized and upgraded in keeping with the more premiumand sporty compact coupe character of this all new Civic.

Interior Comfort, Convenience and ConnectivityThenew Civic is designed to be the most comfortable, convenient and connectedCivic ever. In addition to its more spacious interior, the 2016 Civic Coupeincorporates new, available premium comfort and convenience features– all Civic firsts – as follows:

Display Audio with Apple CarPlay™ and Android AutoRaising intuitive operation and digital connectivity to the nextlevel, the 2016 Civic Coupe in EX-T and above trims incorporates a new7-inch Display Audio touchscreen that serves as the nerve center forcontrol of audio, HVAC and other functions. The new Display Audio isintegrated with new Apple CarPlay™3 and Android Auto™2platforms, providing seamless integration of smartphone features andfunctions, including app-based navigation, streaming audio,voice-controlled search capabilities, and access to a host of Apple- orGoogle-approved smartphone apps.

Dynamic PerformanceCivic is designed to set a newbar for dynamic performance in the mainstream compact class, surpassingcurrent offerings and even challenging luxury-class C-segment vehicles incritical areas of dynamic performance such as steering feel, handlingprecision, ride quality and NVH. With respect to its mainstream,compact-class competitors, Civic is designed to deliver superior dynamicperformance in virtually every way, including acceleration and brakingperformance, refined and linear power delivery, fuel efficiency, steeringprecision, body control, aerodynamics and NVH. Every element of its designand technology has been optimized to this task.

PowertrainPowering the 2016 Civic Coupe are twoall-new engines, first introduced in the Civic Sedan, that were bothdesigned to provide highly refined, responsive and fuel-efficientperformance. Civic Coupes in LX and LX-P trim are powered by a 2.0-literDOHC, 16-valve, port-injected, inline 4-cylinder engine withi-VTEC™ valvetrain producing a peak 158 hp at 6,500 rpm and138 lb-ft. of torque at 4,200 rpm, making it the most powerful base engineever offered in Civic. The new 2.0-liter engine is mated to a sportycontinuously variable transmission (CVT) with Honda G-Design shift control,or on the LX trim, a quick-shifting 6-speed manual transmission.

Civic Coupes in EX-T, EX-L and Touring trim are powered by an all-newturbocharged 1.5-liter DOHC, direct-injected 4-cylinder engine withvariable cam timing (VTC) and electronic wastegate, turning out 174 hp at6,000 rpm and peak torque of 162 lb-ft. from 1,700 to 5,500 rpm. The1.5-liter turbo engine is mated to a new CVT that combines with thelow-inertia turbo, VTC and electronic wastegate to optimize power deliveryacross the engine's full operating range.

Both engines feature a wide array of friction-reduction design andengineering features that support both high performance and high fuelefficiency. These two ultra-efficient engines, married to the 2016 Civic'slight, rigid and highly aerodynamic body, help the Civic garner anticipatedclass-leading EPA-estimated fuel economy ratings of 30/41/34 mpg(city/highway/combined)1 for the 2.0-liter engine with CVT, 26/38/31mpg1for the LX with the 2.0-liter engine and manual transmission, and 31/41/35mpg1 for the 1.5-liter turbo with CVT.

BodyThe 2016 Civic Coupe's new powertrains andsophisticated chassis design are underpinned by its entirely new bodyconstruction, where engineers went deeper in the study of dynamic bodyrigidity to realize an ultra-rigid platform architecture that serves as thefoundation for its more sophisticated chassis design, its class-leadingcollision performance, and its powerful and fuel-efficient powertrains.

Global bending and torsional rigidity are increased with specificallylocalized body rigidity tuning in key areas, especially at suspension andsubframe mounting points which are dramatically improved.

Class-Leading AerodynamicsThe new Civic's sleeker bodydesign combines with aerodynamic features, including nearly full underbodycovering, front and rear wheel strakes, optimized rear exhaust silencersand a highly aero-efficient engine compartment, to create the mostaerodynamically efficient body in the compact class. The 2016 Civic Coupe'sCd*A – the combination of coefficient of drag (Cd) and frontal area(A) – is improved by 12.5 percent over the outgoing Civic tobest-in-class levels, based on Honda internal test data. The Civic aerodesign was optimized using a combination of advanced CFD (computation fluiddynamics), and wind tunnel testing of highly detailed 25- and 40-percentscale models and a full-scale model.

ChassisBuilding on the foundation of itsultra-rigid and lightweight body structure, the 2016 Civic Coupe utilizesthe most sophisticated chassis design in the history of Civic. Its fullyindependent suspension includes an all-new multi-link rear design mated toa rigidly-mounted rear subframe for a high degree of lateral stability.

Front and rear hydraulic compliance bushings, a feature typicallyreserved for larger or more expense vehicles, are also utilized on Civic,improving ride compliance and reducing road vibrations without compromisingsporty handling feel. The new Civic Coupe also applies bonded front andrear stabilizer bushings for smoother and more progressive anti-rollbehavior. And Civic's new dual-pinion electric power steering with variablegear ratio provides for more precise steering control and feel—withonly 2.2 turns lock-to-lock (vs. 2.87 turns on the previous model) forgreatly improved low-speed maneuverability.

The new Civic Coupe's wider track, by 1.9 inches at the front and 2.5inches at the rear, and 0.39 inch wider tire tread, compared to previousCivic Coupe, aid flat handling and lateral grip, while its 3.1 inch longerwheelbase improved ride quality on undulating or rough road surfaces. TheCivic also applies Agile Handling Assist for the first time, using the VSA4system to apply the brake of the front inside wheel at the entry to acorner, improving cornering attitude, stability and precision.

Key Elements of Civic Chassis Design:

Noise, Vibration and Harshness (NVH)Engineers for the newCivic adopted premium noise-isolating materials and design features toachieve a new level of cabin quietness in the compact class. This includesthe adoption of new methods to measure and reduce air leaks in the Civicbody that, based on Honda's internal test data, is the most tightly sealedbody in the competitive class. Full body air leaks have been reduced 75percent compared to the previous Civic Coupe.

Premium noise reduction features include:

Safety and Driver AssistanceThe 2016 Civic Coupeis designed to provide a high level of collision safety performance in awide variety of collision scenarios, including offset and oblique-anglefrontal collisions as well as side and rear impacts. The Civic's safetyperformance starts with its class-leading forward visibility and precise,stable and predictable steering, handling and braking performance. Standardfour-channel anti-lock brakes (ABS) with Electronic Brake Distribution(EBD), Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA)4 with traction control andAgile Handling Assist further enhance dynamic stability and emergencymaneuvering and braking performance.

Honda Sensing™Standard on the Civic TouringCoupe, Honda Sensing safety and driver-assistive technology can furtherreduce the potential for a collision and mitigate the consequences,alerting the driver and taking emergency action when a collision isdetermined to be imminent. Honda Sensing™ uses both millimeter waveradar and a monocular camera to sense and respond to detected road hazards.The Civic Honda Sensing technology suite includes Adaptive Cruise Controlwith Low Speed Follow. Honda Sensing features include the following:

All Civics come equipped with a Multi-Angle Rearview Camera11and Expanded View Driver's Mirror.

Advanced Safety BodyThe 2016 Civic utilizes itsadvanced body structure – including its next-generation AdvancedCompatibility Body Structure (ACE), new crash stroke technology and a590MPa high-strength steel floor – to provide a high degree ofoccupant protection while minimizing weight and aiding fuel efficiency.

Engineers were challenged not only to create a body that supported theirgoals for dynamic performance, but also for top-in-class collisionperformance. The adoption of a more compact front end and shorter frontoverhang proved to be an exceptional challenge to achieving their goals,effectively shortening the front frame's crash stroke (the area availableto absorb and redirect frontal collision energy). To overcome thischallenge and maintain the sporty proportions of the new Civic, engineersdeveloped a new crash stroke design for frontal collisions. A new subframelinked attachment creates a mechanical hinge effect that directs the enginedownward in a frontal impact, effectively increasing the front "crashstroke" by 80 mm (3.0 inches).

Advanced Airbag TechnologyThe Civic utilizesadvanced front, side and side curtain airbag technology, including adriver's front airbag with new spiral stitching for an improved deploymentprofile; SmartVent® technology for the driver and front passenger sideairbags; and a new front passenger airbag with safety vent technology thatcan mitigate the possibility of injury from airbag deployment when thepassenger is "out of position." These systems work in conjunction with theadvanced body structure and optimally tuned interior components to helpmitigate injuries in a collision.

Utilizing these design features and safety technologies, the 2016 CivicCoupe targets the highest available crash protection ratings – a5-Star Overall Vehicle Score in the NHTSA's New Car Assessment Program(NCAP), with top ratings in all test modes; and a TOP SAFETY PICK ratingfrom the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety for LX through EX-L trimswith a TOP SAFETY PICK+ rating for the Touring trim, with a score of GOODin all test modes

ManufacturingThe 2016 Civic Coupe for the U.S.market will be produced at Honda's plant in Ontario, Canada, using domesticand globally sourced parts. Its two new engines are produced in Anna, Ohio,at the largest automobile engine plant in Honda's global productionnetwork, and its highly precise CVT transmissions are assembled in RussellsPoint, Ohio, where two on-site wind turbines provide for upwards of 10percent of the plant's power needs.

The new Civic also benefits from numerous advancements in manufacturingtechnology and process that enhance efficiency, quality and performance, aswell as associate ergonomics.

Inner Frame Weld SystemThe 2016 Civic body iswelded using Honda's new inner-frame weld process, first utilized inconstruction of the 2015 Fit. This new process produced a more rigid,lightweight and higher quality body.

Modular Front Sub-AssemblyA new modular frontsub-assembly, a first for Honda, improves ergonomics for assembly-lineassociates, giving them unfettered access to critical interior and frontend components before the front sub-assembly is joined to the body. Thisprocess also helps to ensure a higher level of quality in the assemblyprocess.

Once the driver enters the vehicle, the phone can be stored in a pocket, briefcase, purse or a storage bin inside the vehicle's cabin as the call transfers information through the wireless telephone interface. Certain compatible cell phones can also transfer the cellular phonebook into the vehicle through the Bluetooth® HandsFreeLink® system. After the cellular phonebook is transferred, calls can be made by making selections from the registered phonebook on the Civics display screen.

Honda Satellite-Linked Navigation System with Voice Recognition and Honda HD Digital TrafficCivic Touring Coupe offers the integrated Honda Satellite-Linked Navigation System2 with GPS technology to provide drivers with turn-by-turn guidance to their chosen destination. This all-new navigation system, developed in cooperation with Garmin, offers many improvements, including enhanced graphics, live search, speed limit display, customized vehicle icons, 3D buildings and terrain, and more. The system includes free map database updates for up to 5 years (initial purchase plus one yearly update each year for 4 years). The system includes the HD Digital Traffic feature, which alerts the driver to current traffic conditions and can display alternate routes around gridlock. It features expanded coverage including many surface streets within the U.S., allowing the driver to choose faster, less congested routes. HD Digital Traffic is subscription-free.

The navigation system can be controlled by voice or through the 7-inch electrostatic touch-screen audio display utilizing its tap, pinch and swipe functionality. The voice-activation system can respond to more casual command phrases that require less user familiarization, in addition to the previous capability of being able to understand spoken city and street names. For example, a voice request for "Radio 98.3 FM" can now be spoken in approximately a dozen different ways ranging from "change the radio station to 98.3" to "98.3 FM." This logic applies to audio functionality of the audio/information screen. The navigation system can also be controlled by voice with conventional navigation commands like, "Find nearest Chinese restaurant" or "find nearest ATM."

The audio system is automatically muted when the "Talk" button is pressed. The voice-recognition technology allows the driver to simply speak city and street names aloud, and the system responds by displaying the matches available in the database. Points of interest on the map such as restaurants or grocery stores can be displayed with brand logo icons or you can have the system provide turn-by-turn navigation, all by voice command. The massive point-of-interest (POI) database includes telephone numbers that can be dialed by using the Bluetooth®7 HandsFreeLink® system when the driver's cellular telephone is connected to the system.

The Honda Satellite-Linked Navigation System2 uses GPS in combination with detailed information from the vehicle's mapping system to pinpoint the vehicle's location and to provide a host of useful mapping and route guidance features. The systems antenna receives positioning information from a network of 24 global positioning satellites. If the antenna is obstructed by a tunnel, a parking garage or a tall building, an internal gyroscopic system and a speed sensor track the location of the vehicle so that the map information remains current and reliable. The vehicle clock is independently controlled by GPS data, so when time zones are crossed while driving, the clock will automatically set itself to the current time.

USB Ports and Power OutletsIn LX and LX-P trims, a 12-volt power outlet is positioned at the base of the center stack on the right of the lower storage tray, with a 1.0-amp USB port positioned on the left. EX-T and above trims retain the 12-volt power outlet, while the USB port on the left is upgraded to 1.5 amps, and a 1.0-amp USB port is added inside the center console.

Overview

Together with the 2016 Civic Sedan, the new Civic Coupe features the most rigid, tightly sealed body and aerodynamic body design in Civic history, with the greatest use of high-strength steel for any Civic model ever made, offering significant advancements to overall noise, vibration and harshness (NVH), ride and handling, fuel efficiency and collision performance.

Longer, lower and wider, the new Civic body is also more spacious, with 8.2 additional cubic feet of passenger and cargo space. Despite its larger size, the new Civic Coupe's unibody is 76 pounds lighter than before with a 25 percent increase in torsional rigidity, while its lower height, wider stance and shortened front overhang serve as the basis for the new Civic's sportier, more premium look and feel.

Advanced unibody construction techniques, including the use of Honda's next-generation ACE body structure and new crash stroke front frame, enable superior front, side and rear crash-worthiness. Comprehensive body sealing measures, the use of acoustic windshield glass combine with new chassis technologies, such as hydraulic suspension and engine mounts, to make the 2016 Civic the quietest and most refined Civic yet.

Key Body Features

Exterior DimensionsCompared to the previous model, the 2016 Civic Coupe's wheelbase is 1.2 inches longer for improved ride comfort, better second-row seating roominess, and improved ingress and egress. The overall length is shorter by 1.0 inches, for a more compact, sporty profile. Front and rear overhangs are 1.4-inch shorter and improve both appearance and aerodynamic efficiency. Fuel efficiency is improved in part due to comprehensive aerodynamic gains throughout the exterior, and even underneath the vehicle.

Key Exterior Specifications 9TH to 10th Generation Difference

Increased Trunk CapacityThe 2016 Civic Coupe has a wider and deeper trunk with 12.1 cu. ft. of storage volume (LX, LX-P), 0.4 cu. ft. larger than that of the previous Civic Coupe. Together with the enlarged passenger volume, this makes the new Civic Coupe best in class in total interior volume. (See the Interior section for more information.)

A low lift-over height of 27.3 inches and a maximum trunk opening width of 35.5 inches improves the ease of loading or unloading bulky items, as does a flat trunk floor, which measures 53.8 inches wide and 35.7 inches deep all significant improvements over the previous model. The floor and trunk sides are carpeted to help protect cargo during transit, and also to help reduce road noise entering the passenger cabin.

The Civic Coupe's trunk will accommodate three soft suitcases or three golf bags. For long, narrow items such as skis, the 3.5 sq-ft. trunk pass-through is 20.6-percent larger than before. A removable floor panel hides the temporary spare tire, jack and wrench. A single LED cargo-area light provides illumination when the trunk lid is open.

Advanced Compatibility Engineering (ACE)As an integral part of the 2016 Civic structure, Honda's proprietary Advanced Compatibility Engineering (ACE) body-structure enhances occupant protection and crash compatibility in frontal collisions. ACE utilizes a network of connected structural elements to distribute crash energy more evenly throughout the front of the vehicle, thus reducing the forces transferred to the passenger compartment. ACE channels frontal crash energy to both upper and lower structural elements, including the floor frame rails, side sills and A-pillars.

Crash StrokeA Honda first, the ACE structure used on the new Civic features a new crash stroke technology, developed by Honda engineers in the company's advanced safety research laboratory in Raymond. Ohio. With the new crash stroke structure, in a frontal collision the lower section of the front vehicle frame hinges to direct the engine down and rearward, helping direct crash energy into the vehicle's floor while also minimizing cabin intrusion. This crucial piece of safety engineering effectively adds 80mm (3.2 in) of additional energy-absorbing "crash stroke" to the front of the vehicle.

Besides helping the Civic aim for the highest ratings in the rigorous federal crash tests, the new crash stroke structure enabled designers to develop the Civic's body design to feature a short front overhang and short hood-line for a unique and exciting appearance, excellent outward visibility and improved handling. (See the Safety and Driver Assistive section for more information.)

Improved Body RigidityCompared to the previous Civic generation, the new 2016 Civic Coupe body's global bending rigidity increases 19 percent and its torsional rigidity increases 23 percent. The benefits of this increased stiffness are numerous, including the ability to tune the suspension for superior ride and handling performance. This tuning includes localized increases in rigidity at the suspension mounting points, with a 28 percent increase at the front and 35 percent increase at the rear over the previous generation Civic Coupe. This allows the chassis to work more effectively and reduces the suspension action needed to control body motion. The localized lateral stiffness of the Coupe's exclusive rear body is 4.6 percent stiffer than the Sedan, which is primarily due to the body construction, and that has significant dynamic benefits. The more rigid body structure also directly results in a quieter and more comfortable ride experience for the passengers, with less NVH felt over a wide range of driving conditions. Some key advancements in body structure include:

Under the Hood

In the Unibody

Underneath the Vehicle

AerodynamicsThe Civic was designed to have class-leading aerodynamic performance including 12.5-percent overall less drag than the previous Civic generation which helps improve both fuel efficiency and interior quietness. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) was used to measure the car's efficiency during the design phase, followed by scale-model wind tunnel testing and finally by full-scale wind-tunnel testing. Two critical gains from this process include a 12.5-percent reduction in underbody and engine-room airflow drag (CdA), and another 4-percent CdA reduction in wheel drag.

Specially shaped components at the front of the vehicle guide airflow through the radiator and into the engine's cold-air intake, while channeling the remaining airflow over, around and under the vehicle. Along with narrower the A-pillars and flush-mounted glass, these contribute to the Civic's efficient passage through the air. The relaxed slope of the rear roofline and rear window further improves aerodynamic efficiency.

The new Civic features the flattest underbody of any gasoline-powered Honda production vehicle. A molded under-panel is positioned directly beneath the front fascia, starting the rearward flow of air underneath the vehicle in a smooth manner. An aluminum under-tray is positioned underneath the engine and transmission and features a cooling duct that allows ambient airflow to the hydraulic engine mount. Dual side under-panels (molded plastic on LX and LX-P, acoustic fiber on EX-T and above trims) extend from behind the front wheels to just ahead of the rear wheels, further smoothing the airflow as it travels rearward, while also reducing wind noise in the passenger cabin.

Lateral strakes located ahead of each wheel and tire (8.5 inches wide in front, and 3.5 inches wide in the rear) help deflect airflow around the tires for additional aerodynamic efficiency gains. Even the stamped steel exhaust silencers are aerodynamically shaped, eliminating the need for an under-cover at the rear of the vehicle. This reduces parts count, complexity and weight while helping to ensure optimal aerodynamic efficiency.

T-Direction WeldingApplied to the forward edge of the front door hinge pillars, just behind the front wheel openings, a new "T-direction welding" technique is anticipated to help the 2016 Civic earn top ratings in the rigorous IIHS narrow offset frontal collision test, based on Honda internal testing. Instead of using lateral overlapping welded joints on the hinge pillars, which would be negatively affected by the wheel moving rearward and striking the pillar in an offset frontal collision, the hinge pillars instead use a longitudinal welded seam designed to withstand sheer forces generated in such a collision.

Class-leading Forward VisibilityThe A-pillar section on the 2016 Civic is 18mm (0.7 in) narrower than on the previous-generation Civic, reducing the obstructed area by 11.6-percent, and resulting in a 7.9-degree improvement in forward visibility. As a result, the new Civic offers a class-leading 84.3 degrees of forward visibility (the angle made by drawing lines from the driver's eye point to the outboard edges of the A pillars). Safety is maintained through the pillars' shape, the precise design of load pathways during a frontal collision or rollover, and the use of 1500 MPa hot-stamped ultra-high-strength steel for the A-pillars.

High-Strength SteelMultiple steel grades are used in the Civic's body construction to help achieve excellent overall vehicle dynamics, optimize safety performance, and lower NVH. Materials range from five different grades of steel, including premium hot-stamp steel and ultra-high-strength steel used in the unibody, to aluminum for the front bumper beam. All were chosen to achieve the best combination of strength, rigidity, dynamic performance and light weight. Fully 63 percent of the body structure is composed of high-strength steel, up 8 percent compared to 55 percent for the previous Civic Coupe. In addition, the use of hot-stamp ultra-high strength steel increases to 7 percent from 1 percent in the previous-generation Civic.

Lighter WeightThe increased use of high-strength steel contributes to a 76-pound reduction in weight for the 2016 Civic Coupe's unibody compared to the previous Civic generation.

Noise, Vibration and Harshness (NVH) CountermeasuresThe new Civic takes noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) countermeasures to the next level, positioning it at the top of its competitive set. All Civic trims feature strategically placed body sealants (see below). Additional NVH enhancements on all models include acoustic separators inside the A- and B-pillars, while a sound-insulating acoustic windshield (see below) further aids overall cabin quietness.

Engine Compartment IsolationMeasures to isolate sound and heat emanating from within the engine compartment include dedicated front, side and rear hood seals, strategically placed heat baffles, a hood insulator panel, an engine under-cover, and dedicated insulation within the instrument panel. Inside the vehicle, a one-piece molded insulated carpet liner adds further to exceptional heat isolation and noise reduction for the 2016 Civic.

Acoustic WindshieldSpecial laminated acoustic glass is used for the Civic windshield to help reduce noise entering the cabin. Tuned specifically to attenuate wind-noise frequencies, the windshield glass uses an outer layer of 2.0mm safety glass, a 0.7mm thick middle layer of acoustic polyvinyl butyral (PVB), and a 1.8mm safety-glass inner layer for a total thickness of 4.5mm. This helps the Civic place at the top of its class in wind-noise performance. The windshield also incorporates UV light-absorbing technology. In addition, the Civic Coupe has 4.0mm tempered front door glass and 3.5mm tempered rear door glass. The available one-touch power moonroof with tilt feature uses 3.5mm tinted and tempered glass.

Sound-absorbing UndercoversUnderneath the Civic, along both sides of the passenger cabin, are absorptive undercovers (molded plastic on the LX and LX-P, and fiber on the EX-T and above trims) that mitigate road and wind noise. A special baffle plate located beneath the center of the floor pan and felt fender inner liners further attenuate wind and road noise.

Body SealingThe 2016 Civic Coupe has an unprecedented level of body sealing to dramatically reduce the levels of noise inside the vehicle a 75 percent overall leak reduction compared to the previous-generation Civic. Throughout the unibody are 9.2 sq. in. of weld seals and other sealers to reduce vibration and the transmission of noise.

Front and Rear SuspensionThe 2016 Civic suspension system provides agile and direct handling that puts the Civic at the top of its class, and in the league of benchmarked European luxury-class competitors. The system uses a combination of front MacPherson struts and an all-new rear multi-link with new rigid subframe. Using a strut-style front suspension improves the room available for crash reinforcement, and the multi-link rear suspension helps maximize second-row seating and cargo space all while also providing outstanding handling characteristics and ride quality. Front and rear stabilizer bars on all trims improve turn-in response while reducing body roll during cornering. The stabilizer bars are bonded to their mounting bushings and use low-friction connecting links for smoother operation. The 2016 Civic Coupe has a 20mm (0.8 in) lower center of gravity, significantly helping to improve handling agility.

MacPherson Strut Front SuspensionThe MacPherson strut front suspension is engineered to provide engaging performance and a responsive feel for the driver. Performance-calibrated geometry ensures a high degree of quickness and precision, smoothness and stability. The lower suspension arms are connected to the subframe and to the body via fluid-filled bushings, which provide the ideal combination of handling responsiveness and precision, along with maximum isolation from road noise, vibration and harshness (NVH). All front suspension arms and the front hub carriers are steel, and all Civic Coupe trims use a tubular front stabilizer bar. The LX-P trim and above have increased front roll stiffness to balance the additional weight of the sunroof and resultant increased inertia. Furthermore, a small increase in damping force controls that inertia and maintains ride quality. The Civic EX-T Coupe and above trims have front springs with a rate 15 percent stiffer than the LX and LX-P trims and the damping force is increased by 20 percent for more direct, agile handling response and body control. Due to the lighter alloy wheels on the Touring trim, the damping rates are specifically tuned for the reduced unsprung weight, increasing road isolation and providing a premium, direct feel.

Multi-Link Rear SuspensionThe multi-link rear suspension includes stamped-steel arms, cast aluminum hub carriers and a stabilizer bar. Mounted on a rigid subframe, a first for Civic, the new rear suspension provides agile handling, both during normal driving and in emergency maneuvers, together with a flat ride. On the Civic EX-T and above trims the trailing arms are connected to the unibody by fluid-filled bushings for exceptional control of noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) while maintaining precise handling. The EX-T and above trims also have 20 percent stiffer rear springs and the damping force is increased by 90 percent to deliver high levels of body control and direct agile handling response. All Civic Coupe trims use a solid rear stabilizer bar for improved crisp turn-in and body roll control. As with the front suspension, the rear damping rates are specifically tuned for the reduced unsprung weight of the lighter Touring trim wheels.

Hydraulic Suspension BushingsIn a first for Honda, the 2016 Civic suspension uses fluid-filled bushings to provide superior ride isolation as well as chassis vibration control. All Civic models utilize front fluid-filled bushings and the EX-T and above trims additionally use rear fluid-filled bushings. These bushings are specifically tuned to provide minimum vibration transfer to the occupants, raising the new Civic to the top of its class in noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) reduction.

In front, the lower control arms pivot in the fluid-filled bushing, which is designed to absorb road harshness and vibration while still retaining the exacting precision required for sharp, nimble handling. For the front suspension only, a specially ventilated under-cover allows airflow to cool the bushings, ensuring more consistent performance in all ambient temperature conditions, as well as enhanced long-term durability.

An additional duct, located near the middle of the aluminum front under-panel, cools the engine's torque rod bushing, likewise reducing operating temperatures and ensuring longer performance.

Dual-Pinion, Variable Ratio Electric Power-Assisted Rack-and-Pinion Steering (EPS)Another Civic first, the Electric Power Steering (EPS) incorporates dual pinion gears and a variable gear ratio for improved steering feel, performance and comfort that surpasses the class.

The dual pinion steering provides substantially improved feel compared to the previous-generation Civic. Compared to a traditional single-pinion steering system, the dual pinion EPS utilizes the physical steering input from the driver as well as from a supplemental electric motor. A non-contact torque sensor measures the driver's steering effort and an ECU determines how much electric motor assist to add, with the result being a seamless, natural feeling steering in all situations.

The steering ratio is variable over a 17-percent range with a final full off-center rotation ratio of 10.93:1. This provides a quick 2.2 turns lock-to-lock compared to 3.1 turns lock-to-lock for the previous Civic, significantly reducing hand movement and the steering effort required when parking or maneuvering. Also contributing to the enhanced steering performance and feel of the 2016 Civic Coupe, the steering mount stiffness is higher, and the 30mm steering column diameter (up from 22mm on the previous generation Civic) also provides greater stiffness.

Straight Driving AssistA new Honda technology, Straight Driving Assist reduces the steering effort required when driving on a sloped or crowned road. When the Straight Driving Assist system detects that steering effort is being applied to keep the car driving along a slope, the Electric Power Steering system applies motor assist. This reduces the muscle effort required to maintain the desired direction on the sloped road to the same level as is required on a flat road.

4-wheel Disc Brakes with ABS, EBD and Brake AssistIn a first for Civic, all trims are equipped with 4-wheel disc brakes. All systems incorporate 4-channel ABS, Electronic Brake Distribution (EBD) and Brake Assist as standard equipment. The system provides a comfortable and refined feel at low speeds, predictable and easy operation on the highway, a sporty, fun-to-drive feel on winding roads, and a reassuring high-performance stopping in emergency situations. Compared to the previous-generation, the 2016 Civic's brakes require less pedal travel, provide a firmer pedal feel under normal conditions, and deliver greater efficiency.The 4-channel Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) independently modulates braking power at each wheel to help the driver retain steering control during heavy braking. The Brake Assist system recognizes emergency braking situations and almost instantly applies full braking force when appropriate to help shorten braking distance. (See the Safety and Driver Assistance section for more information.)

All 2016 Civic trims are equipped with 11.1-inch diameter ventilated front brake rotors (0.9-inch rotor thickness) clamped by single-piston brake calipers. The rear disc brakes incorporate 10.2-inch diameter solid rotors (0.4-inch rotor thickness) paired with single-piston brake calipers. The low-friction design of the brake calipers reduces energy losses when the

In another first for Civic, a 5-percent-larger master cylinder piston diameter (22.2mm vs. 20.6mm on the previous Civic) contributes to the short, firm pedal stroke and excellent feel, while also maintaining the power of the braking system.

Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA®) with Traction ControlVehicle Stability Assist (VSA®)1 is an Electronic Stability Control system that works in conjunction with the Civic Coupe's Drive-by-Wire throttle and its 4-channel ABS systems to enhance control capability while the vehicle is accelerating, braking, cornering or when the driver makes a sudden maneuver.

VSA also provides a limited-slip differential effect for the driving wheels by applying braking force to a slipping wheel, thereby redirecting driving force to the wheel with more traction. While the driver can reduce the traction control effectiveness allowing more wheel slip during stuck condition by pressing the VSA button, ABS remains fully operational at all times. (See the Safety and Driver Assistance section for more information.)

Agile Handling AssistA Civic first and standard on all trims, Agile Handling Assist selectively uses the vehicle's brakes to improve initial turning response and overall cornering ability. Agile Handling Assist utilizes brake vectoring to improve corner traceability and confident handling feel. By applying braking force to the inside wheels during cornering at high lateral G, the system creates a yaw moment, thus generating more turning force and reducing understeer.

Hill Start AssistThe Hill Start Assist function helps to prevent the vehicle from rolling backwards when the driver switches from the brake pedal to the accelerator pedal while the vehicle is stopped on a hill. Hill Start Assist automatically activates when the vehicle senses a certain incline and is fully stopped in any forward gear when facing up hill or reverse gear when facing downhill. The system uses a longitudinal G-sensor along with a wheel speed sensor to control the hydraulic brake modulator. Hill Start Assist, when activated, will release the brakes when the driver depresses the throttle or if the driver doesn't press the accelerator after a few seconds.

Electric Parking Brake (EPB)In a first for both the Honda Civic and its market segment, the standard Electric Parking Brake (EPB) is simpler, more convenient and comfortable to use than a traditional parking brake. The EPB also frees up center console space, allowing a higher console and an extended armrest length.

Engaging the parking brake now requires only a pull on a switch on the center console. To release the parking brake, the driver simply presses on the accelerator pedal (while the seatbelt is buckled) when the transmission is in Drive or Reverse, or else pushes on the parking brake switch while operating the brake pedal.

Besides promoting the use of the parking brake, EPB makes hill starts easier when the Civic is parked on a grade. As with a traditional manually activated parking brake, EPB functions on the rear wheels only. Electric servo actuators are integrated into the rear brake calipers. See the Comfort and Convenience section for more information.

Automatic Brake Hold When activated, Automatic Brake Hold retains brake pressure when the vehicle comes to a stop such as at a traffic light or in heavy traffic. This frees the driver from continually pressing the brake pedal to maintain the vehicle in a stopped position, a significant improvement in driving enjoyment in difficult conditions. Operating the system requires two simple actions from the driver:

Once these steps are taken, Automatic Brake Hold will indicate engagement and then maintain brake pressure when the vehicle has come to a stop, even if the driver later releases the brake pedal. A green "Brake Hold" icon on the instrument panel illuminates to show that the system is functioning. The Civic then remains stopped even on a hill until the driver presses the accelerator pedal. At this point Automatic Brake Hold releases the brakes and the vehicle resumes normal braking function.

Wheels and TiresCivic LX Coupe and LX-P ride on 215/55R16 tires mounted to 16x7.0-inch alloy wheels. The tires are 20mm wider, and the wheels are one inch larger in diameter and 1.0-inch wider, than the previous Civic LX and EX models. Civic Coupe EX-T, EX-L and Touring trims use 215/50R17 tires and 17x7.0-inch aluminum wheels. All tires carry an all-season M+S rating, making them suitable for year-round use in all weather and conditions.

The Civic Coupe LX and LX-P come with Firestone FT140 tires while the EX-T and above trims come with Continental ProContact TX tires. Developed cooperatively with Honda engineers and the tire companies, despite being wider, the tires help reduce rolling resistance by 10-percent while also helping to reduce noise and vibration, improving both fuel efficiency and ride quality in the process. The tires contribute to the Civic's greatly improved rolling resistance performance. They also help reduce unsprung weight by 6.6 pounds, allowing the engineers greater control of suspension tuning, which further improves ride and handling characteristics. See the following page for wheel designs. The 2016 Civic Coupe's wheel and tire sizes include:

Civic LX and LX-P

Civic Touring

Civic EX-T and EX-L

Wheel Designs

Space-Saving Spare TireFor all new Civic models, the spare tire is a T125/80D16 space- and weight-saving temporary unit that is mounted under a carpeted floor in the trunk.

Low-Friction Wheel BearingsFor 2016, the wheel hubs in all models feature new low-friction bearings that measurably reduces rolling resistance, which directly contributes to the improved fuel-efficiency for all models.

ExhaustThe Civic LX and LX-P trims use a single exhaust system for light weight and simplicity. Applied to a Civic for the first time, dual exhaust outlets provide the Civic in EX-T and above trims higher power output for the turbocharged engine. Additionally, in another Civic first, all trims incorporate an exhaust flex tube that directly reduces noise and vibration. The silencer is also aerodynamically shaped, another Civic first, to help improve airflow underneath the vehicle, helping to improve fuel efficiency, reduce emissions, and further reduce air turbulence-inducing noise at highway speeds. See the Powertrain section for more information.

Fuel TankThe 12.4-gallon fuel tank and fuel lines are molded of high-density polyethylene for low weight, freedom from corrosion, impact resistance and fuel vapor losses. The tank and filler pipe are formed as a single unit, reducing weight and complexity, while further improving safety in the event of a collision. Additionally, the tank is positioned ahead of the rear wheels to help guard against collision damage. A high-efficiency fuel pump is housed inside the tank, and the fuel filter is a lifetime design that never needs replacement. An integrated baffle system positioned inside the tank reduces the sound of fuel sloshing.

Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)The 2016 Civic uses an indirect Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)3 that is lighter and simpler than previous systems. Instead of using sensors mounted on each wheel to monitor tire pressures, indirect TMPS uses the existing ABS wheel-speed sensors to continually monitor the rotational speed of each wheel. Because a tire with low pressure rotates more quickly than one with a higher pressure, by comparing these values with a specifically designed computer algorithm, indirect TPMS can determine when a tire is low on pressure. This information is delivered to the driver in the form of a warning symbol on the instrument panel. Special logic included in the TPMS processor is designed to eliminate false warnings.

Chassis Features

(See the Specifications and Features section for all data.)

1 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.

2 The ABS does not reduce the time or distance it takes to stop the vehicle. It only helps with steering control during hard braking. Always drive appropriately for the conditions.

3 For optimal tire wear and performance, tire pressure should be checked regularly with a gauge. Do not rely solely on the monitor system. Please see your Honda dealer for details.

Overview

The new Civic brings an elevated level of comfort and convenience to an affordable, compact-class car, with numerous Civic firsts and standard or optional premium features typically found in more expensive vehicles. From the convenience of available Smart Entry and Pushbutton Start/Stop to the ease of use of the new electric parking brake and Hill Start Assist, the Civic offers useful technologies that make driving easier and more convenient.

Key Comfort and Convenience Features

* First for Civic^ First for Honda

Smart Entry and Push Button Start/StopThe 2016 Civic offers the upscale convenience of Smart Entry and Push Button Start/Stop.

Remote EntryRemote entry is standard equipment on all Civic models. The wave key design (LX trim) has an integrated transmitter in the handle with lock, unlock, trunk open and panic buttons.

Smart EntrySmart Entry also allows the driver to approach, open and use the trunk without using a key or pressing a button on the remote. With the remote in his or her possession, the driver simply presses the release button and opens the trunk. As a safety and convenience feature, the Smart Entry system will not allow the transmitter fob to be locked in the interior of the Civic.

Push Button Start/StopOn the Civic LX-P and above, once the driver has opened the door and is seated, the driver simply pushes the START/STOP button positioned on the instrument panel while pressing the brake pedal to start the vehicle. Powertrain operation and certain electrical functions are ended when the START/STOP button is pressed again at the conclusion of the drive. For accessory mode, the driver simply presses the START/STOP button without pressing the brake pedal. The new Civic's START/STOP button features a pulsating light to help the driver more easily locate the button.

Remote Engine StartCivic LX-P trims and above feature standard remote engine start. This enables drivers to start their Civic in advance of the drive, thereby activating the climate control system with a target temperature of 72 degrees before they get to the vehicle particularly helpful in extreme hot- or cold-weather conditions. The system will automatically operate the heater, front and rear defrosters, front heated seats (if equipped), heated side mirror, and air conditioning as needed.

The remote engine start feature is built into the key fob supplied with the vehicle. To start the engine remotely, the owner presses the LOCK button and then holds the ENGINE button for a second. The Civic's hazard lights will flash, indicating that the signal has been received. When the engine is started remotely, the wipers, lighting and audio systems remain off, and the security system remains set. The engine will run for up to 10 minutes after remote starting and can be extended by another 10 minutes using the same procedure, and then shut off automatically if the owner doesn't reach the vehicle within that time. When the owner does get to the Civic within 10 minutes, or extended period if the procedure is initiated a second time, the engine will keep running while the owner unlocks the vehicle, gets in, applies the brake and presses the Civic's START button, which turns on all of the vehicle's systems.

Driver PreferencesThe Civic LX-P and above trims come with two keyless remotes with unique identifiers. Each remote can be set with unique profiles to accommodate the individual preferences of two different drivers. Preferences include audio system pre-sets, air conditioning preferences, and navigation system settings. In the event both owners use the car at the same time, the Civic will recognize the keyless remote that approaches the driver's door first.

LockingAfter parking, a press of the LOCK button on the remote will simultaneously lock all the doors and trunk. On EX-T and above trims a touch of the soft-touch lock button on either front door handle locks all doors and trunk to secure the Civic. The system will not allow the remote to be locked in the interior of the Civic.

Walk Away Door LockIncluded on EX-T and above trims, the new Walk Away Door Lock feature automatically locks the Civic when the driver leaves the vehicle. This hands-free locking capability adds everyday convenience that's especially useful when the driver has his or her hands full or is distracted. In typical use, when all doors are closed and the driver walks away, the Civic will automatically lock when the key holder's distance from the vehicle exceeds 6.5 feet for two seconds or more and when no other key is detected inside the vehicle. An audible buzzer sounds and the hazard lights flash to confirm that the vehicle has locked. The Walk Away Door Lock feature is programmable, and may be turned on or off as the driver prefers. (See the Exterior section for more information.)

Auto On/Off HeadlightsAll Civic models feature auto-on/off headlights for greater convenience. The headlights are multi-reflector/projector-beam units on all Civic models except the Touring, which has auto-on/off LED headlights. All Civic models feature dramatic LED Daytime Running Lights (DRL).

Auto-Dimming Rearview MirrorA Civic first, the EX-L and Touring Coupe models feature an electrochromic interior rearview mirror that automatically dims during nighttime driving to reduce glare from the headlights of following vehicles.

Capless Fueling SystemCapless fueling eliminates the fuel cap, meaning that fueling the vehicle simply requires opening the fuel lid, refueling, and then closing the lid. This smart and easy-to-use design eliminates the need to touch a dirty fuel cap, reduces the possibility of damaging the vehicle's paint with the fuel cap or tether, or forgetting the fuel cap at the gas station. It also eliminates the possibility of activating an emissions warning by failing to properly re-install the fuel cap. And finally, the capless fueling system allows the use of a smaller fuel-cap door, which cleans up the lines of the vehicle.

The system consists of two integrated components, an outer shutter mechanism that prevents the intrusion of dirt and dust, and a self-sealing fueling flap that is closed by a torsion spring. Both operate automatically.

At a gas station, the driver simply pushes the fuel lid to release it and then inserts the fuel nozzle. Inserting the nozzle automatically opens the outer shutter and fueling flap. When fueling is complete, removing the fuel nozzle automatically closes both the fueling flap and outer shutter.

Electric Parking Brake (EPB)The Civic's Electric Parking Brake makes using the parking brake easier and more comfortable and frees up precious center console space for storage and other functions. (See the Chassis section for more information.)

Overview

Differentiating itself from the Civic Sedan, the new Civic Coupe features a lower and more radically sloping roofline, shorter rear overhang, and aggressive rear styling with distinctive full-width light bar and overall more compact and sporty styling. With its athletic new stance, advanced aerodynamic styling and available LED lighting, the new coupe boasts a youthful, premium and sporty new style that advances Civic design into the next era. Its windswept lines are complimented by the most comprehensive aerodynamic packaging of any Honda to date, including complete underbody paneling, improving both fuel efficiency and cabin quietness. A new flush-mounted acoustic glass windshield further isolates the cabin while promoting smooth airflow, while new available features such as Smart Entry, Capless fueling, Remote Engine Start, rain-sensing windshield wipers and Walk Away door locks makes this the most sophisticated and easy-to-use Civic yet.

Key Exterior Features

Exterior StylingThe new Civic Coupe provides an even sportier spin on its 10th generation sedan sibling with a distinctive sporty profile, lower roof line and shorter rear overhang that produces a crouched, dynamic style. Lower, longer, wider and more muscular than the previous generation, its flowing lines, new signature chromed wing front fascia and available premium LED lighting, extended wheelbase and short overhangs brand the new Civic as a leader in its class, both technologically and in design.

In front, aggressive aerodynamics, LED daytime running lights and an available in-line LED headlight array lend the new Civic a modern demeanor.

The muscular, high-tension side profile soars upward from the front wheel arches rearward, with a decisive character line rising through the doors and extending to the rear wheel arches. A second, lower character line extends from behind the front wheels up through the doors and meets the rear wheel arches, emphasizing the dynamic and emotional design. The new larger and wider wheel and tires further emphasize Civics purposeful stance, while the long wheelbase, short overhangs and sweeping cabin greenhouse further add to the dynamic feel of the exterior.

The windshield is flush-mounted to the cowl, improving aerodynamics and quieting the interior. Panel gaps are minimized and the B-pillars are black-finished, with stainless trim surrounding the side windows to visually emphasize the sweeping cabin shape. The side glass is flush with the pillars to reduce wind noise in the cabin, while also improving the quality feel of the new Coupe. Behind the sweeping roofline and C-pillars, the flush-mounted rear window is sleek and shallow, aiding to the new models aerodynamic efficiency.

From the A-pillars rearward, the Coupe features unique exterior styling with a lower and more steeply raked roofline, nearly 1 inch lower than the Sedan, and more compact proportions, with the rear overhang and overall length shortened by 5.5 inches. The new Coupe also features an exclusive rear taillight design that carries the arch of the distinctive C-shaped LED taillights across the full length of the rear deck lid.

LED LightingAll 2016 Civic trims incorporate a wide range of LED exterior lighting features, including standard LED daytime running lights (DRL), LED one-touch turn signals (Touring), and LED taillights, license-plate light and center high-mounted stop light. Additionally, the Touring trim receives new Honda LED headlights in an in-line configuration and side mirror-mounted LED turn signals.

Civic Touring CoupeIn a first for the Civic, the Coupe in the new Touring trim includes LED low- and high-beam headlights. Arranged in a low, sleek and compact in-line display, the LED high beams provide a longer a wider range of visibility during nighttime driving. The Touring trim also includes LED turn signals integrated into the side mirror housings.

The LED lighting has several advantages beside improved visibility. The LEDs are both mercury free and lead free, benefiting the environment. They require less power to operate than traditional incandescent lighting, which helps the Civics fuel efficiency. They have a longer life and are maintenance free. And finally, the LED arrays are versatile, enabling the new Civic Coupe to offer breakthrough design elements not previously possible.

Power Side MirrorsNewly designed power side mirrors have a complimentary design and are aerodynamically optimized to reduce wind noise and minimize turbulence. For 2016, the side mirror housings on all Civic models are body-colored. The Civic EX-T and above trims add heated side mirrors and the Touring trim further adds integrated front LED turn indicators. The side mirrors can be manually folded for greater convenience in tight parking situations.

Expanded View Driver's MirrorThe Expanded View Driver's Mirror is standard on all Civic Coupe models. (See the Safety and Driver Assistive section for more information.)

Honda LaneWatchThe Civic EX-T and above trims include Honda's LaneWatch1 display that uses a camera located at the bottom the passenger-side exterior mirror to display a wide-angle view of the passenger side roadway on the Display Audio screen. The image appears when the right turn signal is activated, or when a button on the end of the turn signal stalk is pressed. (See the Safety and Driver Assistive section for more information.)

One-Touch Power Moonroof with Tilt FeatureThe Civic LX-P and above trims have a one-touch power moonroof with tilt feature that will fully open or close with a single touch of the switch. The moonroof mechanism was purposely designed to provide ample headroom. The moonroof has a sliding sunshade that opens with the roof and can be closed to block sunlight. To tilt or slide the moonroof, the driver or front passenger needs only to fully press the ceiling-mounted switch once (instead of pressing and holding it for several seconds). The moonroof fully opens or closes automatically. However, if the operator wishes to only partially open or close the moonroof (such as to achieve partial ventilation), a lighter touch yields fully manual control. The moonroof can also tilt to provide ventilation. An auto-reverse feature is built in, helping to ensure that the moonroof will not forcefully close if someone's hand or arm is detected in the path of the glass. If an obstruction is detected, the moonroof mechanism will reopen the moonroof.

Power Windows and LocksPower windows are standard equipment on all Civic models and include auto-up and -down operation on the driver and passenger windows. Power locks are standard, and a customizable auto-locking feature can be configured using the Driver Information Interface and steering wheel-mounted controls.

Smart Entry and Push Button Start/StopThe Civic in LX-P and above trims include the upscale convenience of Smart Entry and Push Button Start/Stop. The system simplifies approaching, entering and operating the Civic. To gain entry, the driver/passenger simply pulls either of front door handles while the remote in his or her possession. (See the Comfort and Convenience section for more information.)

Windshield WipersThe Civic LX and LX-P trims have 2-speed intermittent windshield wipers, while the EX-T and above trims have variable intermittent windshield wipers. The Touring trim has rain-sensing wipers described below.

Designed to cover the maximum possible windshield area, the left (driver) and right (front passenger) windshield wipers (intermittent on EX-T and above trims) are 25.5 inches and 18 inches long, respectively. For better appearance, the wipers are hidden low on the front cowl when not in operation. The wiper motor uses a built-in ECU, reducing complexity compared to the previous Civic's wiper mechanism. As well, a new wiper motor assembly saves 3.08 pounds compared to the previous generation.

Mounted on the windshield behind the rear view mirror, a Rain Light Sensor combines two functions into one unit to control the Smart Wipers and Rain Sensing Wipers functions listed below.

Smart WipersLaws in some states require drivers to turn on the headlights when the wipers are operating in the rain. In all trims, the new Civic helps its driver comply with these laws by automatically illuminating the headlights when the wipers are activated in rainy conditions (with headlight switch in Auto).

Details include:

Rain Sensing WipersIn a first for Civic, the Touring trim includes rain-sensing wipers that automatically activate if water is detected on the windshield.

Details include:

Capless Fueling SystemA first for Civic, capless fueling eliminates the fuel cap, meaning that fueling the vehicle simply requires opening the fuel lid, refueling, and then closing the lid. This smart and easy-to-use design eliminates the need to touch a dirty fuel cap, reduces the possibility of damaging the vehicle's paint with the fuel cap or tether, or forgetting the fuel cap at the gas station. It also eliminates the possibility of activating an emissions warning by failing to properly re-install the fuel cap. And finally, the capless fueling system allows the use of a smaller fuel-cap door, which cleans up the lines of the vehicle. The fuel door unlocks with a handle remote release inside the vehicle.(See the Comfort and Convenience section for more information.)

Overview

Benefitting from Honda's vehicle packaging expertise, the Civic interior its spaciousness, smart design, comfortable fit and intuitive controls has always been a competitive strength. The new Civic interior takes that concept forward with new levels of quality, refinement and spaciousness for Civic and the compact class.

With 91.0 cubic feet of passenger cabin volume, the Civic tops the compact-class for interior space and comfort, with class-leading headroom, legroom, shoulder clearance and side head clearance. Class-leading forward visibility of 84.31 degrees is aided by new, ultra-thin A-pillars, and rear-seat passengers will appreciate newly shaped front seats with a narrower upper profile (in the shoulder area) and smaller headrests that lend the rear cabin a more open, airy feel. The reworked instrument panel provides greater knee room for the driver, while rear-seat foot space in improved with an increase of 27mm in the space between the front seat rails.

The Civic Coupe has a trunk capacity of 12.1 cubic feet (LX and LX-P) 0.4 cu-ft. larger than the previous model and among the largest in the competitive class. Spacious enough to easily accommodate four large golf bags, the new trunk area is easier to access and use, with a lower lift-over height and wider opening. The Civic Coupe features a 60/40 split and folding rear seatback. The shape of the trunk pass-through is now more rectangular with a 20-percent increase in area.

Interior MaterialsThe new Civic Coupe interior takes the refinement of Honda's most affordable coupe to a new level with high-quality premium touches and upscale materials applied liberally throughout. Highlights include a soft-touch instrument panel upper surface, door pad deck seams and soft door upper panels. Fit, finish and materials have received close attention, and soft leather-trimmed seating is standard on EX-L and Touring trims.

Interior DesignThe new Civic interior blends a dynamic and wide layout with smoothly integrated technology features and-high quality materials. All Civic models have handsome new instrumentation, while EX-T and above trims feature a full-color 7-inch Driver Information Interface (DII) display, and 7-inch Display Audio color touchscreen with a clean and sleek appearance. The Civic has always been known for its user-friendly design, and the new generation builds on that reputation. With completely redesigned packaging, the Civic has a more open roomy feel assisted by such design changes as the backs of the front seats having new sleek styling giving rear passengers a spacious feeling. A redesigned instrument panel made possible a more compact climate control system opens up added knee room, and the tandem distance (distance between the front and rear seat hip point) is increased by 4 inches.

All important systems and controls in the Civic are positioned within easy reach of the driver. Controls for the systems used most frequently audio, cruise control, Bluetooth®3 HandsFreeLink®, available navigation system with voice recognition and intelligent Multi-Information Display are conveniently positioned on the steering wheel. The main instrumentation is an easy-to-read analog design, supplemented with digital and graphic displays. Typical of Honda interior design, the soft-touch switchgear of the Civic is engineered to deliver a high-quality feel and positive action.

Front SeatsThe Civic's all-new front bucket seats are designed to provide welcoming support for a wide range of body types, along with secure lateral support for cornering. New seat frame designs are 17-percent lighter, more comfortable and more adjustable. A relocated seatback recline pivot point improves comfort, and the range of the seat bottom height adjustment has been increased by 10mm (0.4 in). A new available adjustable thigh support for the driver's seat offers 14-degrees of tilt. To help improve the forward view and create a feeling of openness for rear seat passengers, the front seatbacks have a narrower upper profile and smaller headrests. The Civic seats feature fabric seating surfaces in LX, LX-P and EX-T trims, with leather-trimmed seats in the EX-L and Touring trims, using perforated leather on select areas of the front seats.

The driver's seat in the Civic Coupe is manually adjustable for fore-and-aft, seatback angle and height adjustment. Heating is now applied on the cloth interior EX-T as well as the leather trimmed seats of the EX-L and Touring with heated seat bottom cushions and front seatbacks. The 3-level front seat heater controls are positioned within easy reach, just below the climate control system controls.

Rear SeatsThe Civic's roomy second-row seating is designed for maximum comfort and versatility, with a folding seatback. A 60/40 split and folding design makes it easy to accommodate passengers or long cargo.

Center ConsoleThe Civic interior offers a range of convenient storage features for the driver and passengers. The center console is specially engineered to offer a sporty appearance coupled with the versatile usability you might expect in an SUV. With the prevalence of smartphones in most people's lives, the console is engineered around a "tech center" theme. Up front, it has a 2-tier smartphone tray with a wire management pass-through for organized connectivity. EX-T and above trims have a rubber mat to help secure a phone and include LED lighting for nighttime visibility. There's also an additional phone storage pocket on the driver's side.

The new electric parking brake replaces the conventional manual parking brake lever, freeing up more console space for a larger armrest and greater storage space. The main storage compartment is topped by a sliding, deeply padded armrest that features an added inch of adjustability, compared to the previous Civic. A pair of cup holders are centrally located, and can accommodate large 42-ounce cups when the padded armrest is placed in the rearmost position. By sliding the adjustable cup holder rearward, there's space to accommodate even a large sports drink bottle. Inside the console, a small item tray slides fore and aft the full length of the console. With the cup holder removed, the console offers a class leading 7.2-liters of storage, enough to accommodate tablets and other large items. Two additional cup holders are located in the side linings of the second row.

Power Windows, Lock and MirrorsPower windows are standard equipment on all Civic models and include auto-up and -down operation on the driver's and front passenger's windows. Power door locks and power mirrors are standard equipment on all Civic models. Civic EX-T and above include heated exterior mirrors. Smart entry is standard on Civic LX-P and above trims.

One-Touch Power Moonroof with Tilt FeatureThe Civic LX-P trim and above have a one-touch power moonroof with tilt feature that will fully open or close with a single touch of the switch. (See the Exterior section for more information.)

Steering WheelThe steering wheel, leather-wrapped on EX-L and Touring models, incorporates the most commonly used controls, allowing the driver to keep their hands on the wheel and their attention on the road. Bluetooth®3 HandsFreeLink® and audio system controls are located on the left side of the steering wheel, and include a new touchpad control that makes is easy to quickly adjust audio volume and scroll and select items that appear on the audio screen. Cruise control controls are on the right and Driver Information Interface (DII) controls are located on the left side. The Touring trim has LKAS and ACC controls located on the right side of the steering wheel as well. In all trims, the steering wheel offers manual tilt and telescopic adjustment.

Climate Control SystemsFor the first time ever, all Civic models have a standard automatic climate control system. The new system offers a 10-percent improvement in warm-up time compared to the previous system and now features a refrigerant with a much lower GWP (Global Warming Potential). To help conserve energy, the system employs a new Variable Displacement Compressor (VDC). Unlike a conventional compressor which can only operate at 100-percent and must be switched on and off frequently to conserve fuel when the cooling load is relatively low, the VDC can vary its output based on the cooling needs, resulting in greater efficiency, reduced drag on the engine and smoother climate-control performance.

Civic EX-T and above trims include dual-zone operation, for the optimal comfort of both the driver and front-seat passenger; and in addition to physical controls, incorporate climate control functions in the Display Audio touchscreen on EX-T and above trims.

Sliding SunvisorsTo provide more flexible shading from the sun, all Civics now come standard with sliding sunvisors. The driver and front passenger sunvisors can now be moved along their mounting shafts, with 3.9 inch range of motion, to provide perpendicular shade for the eyes even when the front seats are in their rear-most position.

MetersThe Civic LX and LX-P have analog instrumentation with large tachometer, flanked by a coolant-temperature gauge on the left and fuel-level gauge on the right. A digital speedometer is positioned in the center of the tachometer. EX-T models and above have a central Thin-Film Transistor (TFT) Driver Information Interface (DII) color display that depicts an analog tachometer, digital speedometer and additional selectable information.

The gauge package progressively illuminates to give the driver a welcoming feel upon entry. When the door is first opened, the instrument lighting illuminates and then brightens progressively to 100-percent illumination when the ignition is switched on. The illuminated instrument panel then comes alive, indicating that the car is ready to go. At the end of the drive, the instrument lighting dims progressively.

Driver Information Interface (DII)The Civic instrument panel provides important vehicle information via a Driver Information Interface (DII) positioned centrally in the meter panel. Controls positioned on the right side of the steering wheel allow the driver to cycle the DII display through multiple screens of information. The Maintenance Minder system alerts the Civic driver of upcoming maintenance needs via the DII and should a fault occur with the vehicle, specific warning information will appear. The display indicates when to change the oil, air cleaner, transmission fluid, spark plugs or coolant, as well as when to rotate the tires.

TrunkThe Civic Coupe has a trunk capacity of 12.1 cubic feet (LX) 0.4 cu-ft. larger than the previous models, and among the largest in the competitive class. Spacious enough to easily accommodate four large golf bags, the new trunk area is easier to access and use. The liftover height has been reduced by an inch, and the opening is wider and longer front to rear. Inside, the cargo floor is 2.8 inches longer front to rear, and the vertical height of the cargo compartment has increased by 1.6 inches. All Civic Coupes have a 60/40 split and folding rear seatback. The shape of the trunk pass-through is now more rectangular and with a larger area, from 2.9 sq-ft. to 3.5 sq-ft., loading long items is much easier. The trunk is carpeted and lined, and a temporary spare is located in a well under a removable section of the cargo-area floor.

Engine ImmobilizerComplementing the remote entry system is a standard engine-immobilizer system. A special electronically coded key prevents the car from being started-even if a mechanical duplicate of the key is used. A transponder, built into the key, signals the immobilizer control unit that the key is genuine. If the car is hot-wired, or an unauthorized key is used, the engine will not start.

Continuously Variable Transmission ControlsWhen equipped with the available Continuously Variable Transmission, the Civic has a conventional straight-gate shifter that is intuitive and easy-to-use and takes up little space in the center console. New LED indicator lights on the console make the current gear setting and selection clear and simple.

Interior ColorsThe Civic's interior palette is sophisticated and coordinated and is offered in new black/grayge, or black/ivory colors fabric in the LX, EX, EX-T, leather in the EX-L and Touring.

Overview

With two advanced new engines and new and updated manual and Continuously Variable Transmissions, first introduced in the 2016 Civic Sedan, the Civic Coupe offers a range of new powertrain choices that combine fuel efficiency and fun-to-drive performance.

The base engine is a 2.0-liter 16-Valve DOHC i-VTEC®, with its larger displacement (replacing Civic's previous SOHC 1.8-liter engine), offers more horsepower and torque than any previous base Civic engine in the U.S. The new 2.0-liter engine is rated at 158 horsepower at 6500 rpm1 and 138 lb-ft. of torque at 4200 rpm2 (an increase of 15 horsepower and 9 lb-ft. of torque). The 2.0-liter engine is paired with a new 6-speed manual transmission (LX) or a Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) for efficient automatic operation.

For drivers looking for even greater performance coupled with equally high EPA fuel economy ratings, the Civic is available with a turbocharged engine. The 1.5-liter 16-valve DOHC direct-injected turbocharged powerplant is rated at 174 horsepower at 6,000 rpm3 with torque output an impressive 162 lb-ft. of torque between 1,700 and 5,500 rpm4.

Both engines are designed to be LEV3-ULEV125/LEV3-SULEV 30 emissions compliant5. The more efficient engines and transmissions, along with improved aerodynamics and a major reduction in running resistance, result in substantially enhanced performance and fuel efficiency. Compared to the previous Civic 1.8-liter with either manual transmission or CVT, anticipated EPA highway fuel economy ratings6 are up across the board:

Engine Architecture and Features

2.0-Liter 4-Cylinder EngineRelated to the European Civic Type-R 2.0 liter turbo charged engine, the Civic's new standard 2.0-liter i-VTEC powerplant produces more horsepower and torque at all operating speeds compared to the 1.8-liter engine it replaces. The new engine also is anticipated to help the Civic receive superior EPA mpg ratings.6 The new 2.0-liter engine is rated at 158 horsepower at 6,500 rpm1 and 138 lb-ft. of torque at 4,200 rpm.2 The anticipated EPA fuel economy rating is 26/38/31 mpg6 city/highway/combined with 6-speed manual transmission, and 30/41/34 mpg6 with CVT.

Cylinder Block and CrankshaftThe Civic's new 2.0-liter inline four has a lightweight die-cast aluminum block with a bedplate main-bearing design that creates a rigid assembly to help minimize noise and vibration. Cast-in iron cylinder liners provide long-lasting durability. Thin slits between each adjacent cylinder sleeve help improve engine cooling and knocking.

Each journal on the lightweight heat-forged steel crankshaft is micropolished to reduce internal friction and improve smoothness throughout the rpm range and help lower noise levels.

Pistons/Connecting RodsDesigned with "cavity-shaped" crowns, the 2016 Civic's pistons help maintain stable combustion and contribute to improved efficiency. To reduce weight, minimize vibration and increase operating efficiency, the lightweight pistons have a carefully optimized skirt design. Ion-plated piston rings help reduce friction for greater operating efficiency.

Heavy-duty steel connecting rods with tapered small ends are heat-forged in one piece and then "crack separated" to create lighter and stronger rods with an optimally fitted bearing cap.

Cylinder Head and i-VTEC ValvetrainThe Civic's 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine has a lightweight DOHC cylinder head that is made of low-pressure casted aluminum alloy. With exhaust-port passages cast directly into the cylinder head, the need for a traditional separate exhaust manifold is eliminated.

A low-friction silent-chain drives dual overhead cams and four valves per cylinder. The cam drive is maintenance free throughout the life of the engine. To help further reduce friction, the finish of the camshaft journals has been improved. To improve cooling and detonation resistance, the cylinder head has a cooling passage placed between each pair of exhaust valves.

To help boost fuel efficiency and power, the combustion chamber shape and valve angles have been optimized. The included valve angle is 35 degrees, to decrease the surface-to-volume ratio of the combustion chambers and help create a flatter, more compact combustion chamber that reduces unburned hydrocarbon emissions. With this new combustion chamber shape, the compression ratio has been increased to 10.8:1 (up from 10.6:1 on the previous 1.8-liter engine), yet the engine still operates on regular unleaded fuel.

The cylinder head features a new high-tumble intake-port design. In combination with the new combustion chamber and piston crown shape, the design's high level of airflow tumble helps create a homogenous fuel mixture for low fuel consumption and high airflow for high power output.

The Civic's 2.0-liter DOHC 16-valve i-VTEC® engine uses an advanced valve control system to combine high power output with high fuel efficiency and low emissions. The system combines dual VTC (Variable Valve Timing Control), which continuously adjusts the intake and exhaust camshaft phase, with Variable Valve Timing and Lift Electronic Control (VTEC), which changes valve lift, timing and duration of the intake valves.

The "intelligent" portion of the system is its ability to continuously vary the timing of the intake and exhaust camshafts using variable valve timing control (VTC). This helps increase power and also provides a smoother idle (allowing idle speed to be reduced). The cam timing is varied based on input from sensors that monitor rpm, timing, throttle opening, cam position and exhaust air-fuel ratio. The result is increased fuel efficiency and lower emissions. Under certain conditions, the VTC can hold the intake valves open longer to allow a reverse airflow of intake air into the intake manifold.

Programmed Fuel Injection (PGM-FI)The 2.0-liter engine's Programmed Fuel Injection (PGM-FI) continually adjusts fuel delivery to yield the best combination of power, low fuel consumption and low emissions. Multiple sensors constantly monitor critical operating parameters, such as throttle position, intake air temperature, coolant temperature, ambient air pressure, intake airflow volume, intake manifold pressure, exhaust air-fuel ratio and the position of the crankshaft and cams.

Turbocharged 1.5-Liter 4-Cylinder EngineThe Civic's available new DOHC 1.5-liter engine is the first turbocharged engine ever to be offered in a Honda-brand automobile in America. With direct injection, low-inertia mono scroll turbo system with electrical wastegate and dual Variable Valve Timing Control (VTC), the turbocharged Civic powerplant develops the horsepower and torque of a much larger engine, and is anticipated to help the Civic Coupe receive excellent EPA estimated fuel economy ratings.

The turbocharged 1.5-liter engine is rated at 174 horsepower at 6,000 rpm3 with 162 lb.-ft of torque between 1,700 and 5,500 rpm.4 The Civic Turbo is anticipated to be rated by the EPA at 31/41/35 mpg.6

See the 1.5 L Turbo engine animation for a visual representation of prominent engine features and functions

Cylinder Block and CrankshaftThe Civic's 1.5-liter engine has a lightweight die-cast aluminum block with individual reinforced main bearing caps to minimize weight. Cast-in iron cylinder liners provide long-lasting durability. Each journal on the lightweight forged-steel crankshaft is micropolished to reduce internal friction.

Pistons and Connecting Rods The 1.5-liter engine's pistons help maintain stable combustion and contribute to improved efficiency with "cavity-shaped" crowns. The lightweight pistons have a carefully optimized skirt design to minimize reciprocating weight, which minimizes vibration and increases operating efficiency. The pistons are cooled by twin oil jets directed at the underside of each piston crown. Ion-plated piston rings help reduce friction for greater operating efficiency. Lightweight, high-strength steel connecting rods are heat-forged in one piece and then "crack separated" to create a lighter and stronger rod with an optimally fitted bearing cap.

Cylinder Head and ValvetrainThe direct-injected Civic 4-cylinder turbocharged engine has a lightweight DOHC cylinder head that is made of pressure-cast aluminum alloy. With exhaust port cast directly into the cylinder head, the need for a traditional separate exhaust manifold is eliminated.

A low-friction, silent-chain drives dual overhead cams and four valves per cylinder. The cam drive is maintenance free throughout the life of the engine. To help further reduce weight, new thin-wall hollow camshafts are used.

To benefit fuel efficiency, emissions and power, the turbo engine utilizes sodium filled exhaust valves. A hollow chamber within the valve contains sodium that is cooled by the exhaust port cooling jacket. As the chamber reaches close to the valve head, the sodium helps to cool the entire valve. As the valve is internally cooled it doesn't need the enriched fuel mixture that was generally used in turbo engines to help cool the exhaust valve. The resultant leaner mixture reduces emissions, increases fuel efficiency and helps increase power.

The cylinder head includes smaller M12 sparkplugs, down from the more common M14, to save space and weight. The head also includes direct-injection multi-hole fuel injectors with a small diameter bore. Higher-pressure direct injection optimizes fuel atomization, allowing for more efficient combustion. To provide a high-tumble intake charge that further enhances combustion efficiency, both the intake port and piston crown have special designs.

The Civic Turbo engine features Variable Valve Timing Control (VTC) that can vary the timing of both the intake and exhaust camshafts independently. With the turbo engine's variable cam timing, the cam timing can be optimized to suit the driving conditions. Under light loads, valve overlap can be increased to reduce pumping losses and improve fuel efficiency. When engine speed is low and engine load is large, such as during initial acceleration, the amount of overlap is increased to boost the scavenging effect, which improves torque and responsiveness. When engine speed is high and engine load is also high, such as during full-throttle acceleration, the amount of valve overlap is reduced, improving both intake and scavenging and increase engine output.

Direct Injection SystemThe direct-injection system enables increased torque across the engine's full operating range along with higher fuel efficiency. The system features a compact, high-pressure, direct-injection pump that allows both high fuel flow and pulsation suppression, while variable pressure control optimizes injector operation. A multi-hole injector delivers fuel directly into each cylinder (not to the intake port, as in conventional port fuel injection designs), allowing for more efficient combustion.

The multi-hole injectors can create the ideal stoichiometric fuel/air mixture in the cylinders for good emissions control. Theoretically, a stoichiometric mixture has just enough air to completely burn the available fuel. Based on the operating conditions, the direct-injection system alters its function for best performance. Upon cold engine startup, fuel is injected into the cylinders on the compression stroke. This creates a weak stratified charge effect that improves engine start-up and reduces exhaust emissions before a normal operating temperature is reached.

Once the engine is fully warmed up, for maximum power and fuel efficiency fuel is injected during the intake stroke. This helps create a more homogeneous fuel/air mix in the cylinder that is aided by the high-tumble intake port design. This improves volumetric efficiency, and the cooling effect of the incoming fuel improves anti-knock performance.

Low Inertia Mono Scroll Turbo System with Electric WastegateThe turbocharged Civic engine employs a small-diameter turbine for maximum responsiveness. The mono scroll housing design helps the turbo build boost even at relatively small throttle openings and low rpm. The electrically-actuated wastegate allows boost pressure to be precisely controlled.

A large air-to-air low-restriction intercooler is positioned low in the front of the car where it receives unobstructed airflow when the vehicle is in motion. Intake air travels from the air filter, to the turbo compressor, on to the intercooler, then to the engine's intake ports. The intercooler helps reduce the temperature of air entering the engine, making it denser for greater performance. To reduce weight, the turbo system is plumbed with rigid, lightweight resin composite inlet pipes to carry intake air to and from the intercooler.

Common Engine Features

ECON ModeEvery 2016 Civic is equipped with a green ECON button located on the center console near the shift lever. When the button is pushed to activate ECON mode, several operating characteristics of the vehicle are modified for enhanced fuel efficiency. The Drive-by-Wire throttle system provides more gradual response, and to save additional energy, the climate control's fan speeds are lowered incrementally and other climate control system characteristics are altered based on the conditions. Another push of the ECON button reverts all systems to their normal mode.

Friction Reducing TechnologyBoth of Civic's engines make use of new friction-reducing technologies designed to improve engine efficiency. The outer skirts of lightweight aluminum pistons feature a low-friction coating applied in a unique pattern application. The result is reduced overall friction as the pistons move within the cylinder bores. Plateau honing further lowers the friction level between the pistons and the cylinders by creating an ultra-smooth surface. Plateau honing is a 2-stage machining process that uses two grinding processes instead of the more conventional single honing process. This also enhances the long-term wear characteristics of the engine. Low viscosity oil (0W-20) also reduces friction. Other contributors to overall operating efficiency are a special two-stage oil pump relief valve, low-friction oil seals, special low-drag piston ring design, low-friction cam chain and a lightweight crankshaft.

Drive-by-Wire Throttle SystemThe Civic's Drive-by-Wire throttle system replaces a conventional throttle cable with smart electronics that "connect" the accelerator pedal to a throttle valve inside the throttle body. The result is less under-hood clutter and lower weight, as well as quicker and more accurate throttle actuation. Plus, a specially programmed "gain" rate between the throttle pedal and engine offers improved drivability and optimized engine response to suit specific driving conditions.

Honda's Drive-by-Wire throttle system evaluates the current driving conditions by monitoring throttle pedal position, throttle valve position, engine speed (rpm) and road speed. This information is used to define the throttle control sensitivity that gives the Civic's throttle pedal a predictable and responsive feel that meets driver expectations.

Emissions ControlBoth 2016 Civic engines are designed to meet the tough EPA LEV3-ULEV125/LEV3-SULEV30 emissions standards,5 and are certified to this level of emissions performance for 120,000 miles.

100,000+/- Mile Tune-up IntervalsThe Civic's powerplant requires no scheduled maintenance for 100,000+/- miles or more8, other than periodic inspections and normal fluid and filter replacements. The first tune-up includes water pump inspection, valve adjustment, and the installation of new spark plugs.

Maintenance Minder SystemTo eliminate unnecessary service stops while ensuring that the vehicle is properly maintained, the Civic has a Maintenance Minder system that continually monitors the vehicle's operating condition. When maintenance is required, the driver is alerted via a message on the Multi-Information Display (MID) on the LX and LX-P trims or Driver Information Interface (DII) on EX-T and above trims. (See the Interior Section for more information about the DII).

The Maintenance Minder system monitors operating conditions such as oil and coolant temperature along with engine speed to determine the proper service intervals. Depending on operating conditions, oil change intervals can be extended to a maximum of 10,000 miles, potentially sparing the owner considerable expense and inconvenience over the life of the vehicle. The owner-resettable system monitors all normal service parts and systems, including oil and filter, tire rotation, air-cleaner, transmission fluid, spark plugs, coolant, brake pads and more. To reduce the potential for driver distraction, maintenance alerts are presented on the DII only when the ignition is first turned on, not while driving.

Advanced Transmissions

Continuously Variable Transmissions (CVT)Two different CVTs are offered in the new Civic to best suit the power output and operating characteristics of each available engine. Both Continuously Variable Transmissions (CVT) offer smooth and predictable gear ratio transitions and excellent acceleration matched with efficient low-rpm cruising. A wide ratio spread results in strong acceleration performance coupled with reduced engine rpm at high road speeds.

Each CVT is comprised of an engine driven torque converter that in turn drives two variable-width pulleys connected by a steel belt. With its angled inner faces, the belt can circle the angled pulley faces at varying diameter depending on the pulley width, which alters the effective ratio between the pulleys. Since there are no steps in the pulley faces, the range of possible gear ratios is essentially infinite. This ultra-fine control of the gear ratio is the key to the CVT's greater efficiency over a conventional automatic transmission with a limited number of discrete gear ratios. Instead of approximating the correct ratio for the conditions like a conventional automatic does, the Civic CVTs can precisely select the optimum ratio from moment to moment without steps or slippage. Computer control of the transmission allows the ratio between the pulleys to be altered almost instantly to best suit the driving conditions and accelerator pedal setting.

Continuously Variable Transmission for 2.0L i-VTECThe Civic LX and LX-P which are powered by the 2.0-liter engine offer a CVT (available in the LX and standard in the LX-P) that is a refined version of the CVT that was offered in the previous generation Civic. It features a retuned torque converter, and a new generation of G-Design shift logic.

Continuously Variable Transmission for 1.5L TurboTurbo Civic models have a CVT that is an evolution of the CVT transmission offered in Accord 4-cylinder models. In this application, the transmission's final gear ratio is 4.69-percent taller than the Accord CVT on which it's based, to allow for lower engine rpm while cruising. A new generation of G-Design shift logic aids acceleration and has a more familiar driving feel. A new turbine twin-damper design for the torque converter provides tighter control and helps reduce turbocharger lag as the vehicle accelerates.

CVT Common Features

G-Design Shift FeatureBoth available Civic CVTs are designed to provide the optimum gear ratio for the driving conditions, and to offer a more natural driving feel than some previous CVT transmissions that may have something of a disconnected "rubber-band" feel compared to a conventional automatic transmission.

The Civic CVTs have a new generation of special G-design shift logic that is designed to offer more immediate acceleration response than either conventional automatics or other CVT designs. When abruptly applying power from a steady-state cruising speed, both Civic CVTs immediately send power to the drive wheels while simultaneously adjusting the gear ratio (seamlessly and progressively downshifting) to smoothly bring the engine to its horsepower peak in a linear way.

By comparison, a conventional automatic is slower to respond and loses time making multiple downshifts. Since the automatic transmission has a limited number of separate, discrete ratios, even when fully downshifted, it can only approximate the optimum engine rpm as speed increases. This cuts into acceleration.

During full throttle acceleration, the new generation of G-Design shift logic employs stepped ratios as the vehicle speed increases. This helps give the transmission a more "connected" feel as the engine rpm and vehicle speed increase together. This stepped operation also improves acceleration performance incrementally.

CVT Automatic ModesThe transmission can be operated in three different fully automatic forward modes with the console-mounted straight-gate shifter. The D mode is ideal for most driving situations, and combines fuel efficiency with smooth operation and responsive power when needed. The S mode is for more performance-oriented driving, and features more aggressive transmission mapping to keep engine rpm higher for greater acceleration and response. The L mode is ideal for situations when additional engine braking is desired, such as in mountainous driving.

S-Range ControlTo allow the driver to alter the operation of the CVT, the console-mounted gear selector includes an "S" or Sport mode that provides a sport-shift schedule that delays upshifting for more available power, and provides greater engine braking.

6-Speed Manual TransmissionA 6-speed manual transmission (6MT) is standard on the Civic LX. The unit offers smooth and precise shift feel and great efficiency. Compared to the 5-speed manual transmission it replaces in the Civic, the 6-speed transmission has been carefully engineered to deliver state-of-the-art performance and shift action, with reduced internal friction, tighter internal tolerances and improved synchronizers. The transmission also has a more rigid aluminum exterior case, higher-capacity ball bearings, stiffer gear shafts, and greater torque capacity. Refinements to the shift linkage and selector mechanism produce a precise and smooth gear lever shift action. A new constant-mesh helical reverse gear mechanism significantly reduces noise when reverse is selected. A reverse lockout feature prevents the transmission from accidentally being shifted into reverse while the car is moving forward.

Pedestrian Injury Mitigation DesignStructures in the front of the 2016 Civic are designed to help absorb energy in the event of a collision with a pedestrian. Research by Honda shows that the following features can dramatically improve a pedestrian's chance of survival if struck by a moving vehicle.

Specific pedestrian head injury mitigation features include:

Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA®) with Traction ControlVehicle Stability Assist (VSA®)10 is an Electronic Stability Control system that works in conjunction with the Drive-by-Wire throttle and its 4-channel ABS systems to enhance control capability while the vehicle is accelerating, braking, cornering or when the driver makes a sudden maneuver. VSA functions by applying brake force to one or more wheels independently while also managing the throttle, ignition and fuel systems to help the vehicle maintain the driver's intended path of travel.

The VSA system constantly analyzes data from sensors that monitor wheel speed, steering input, lateral and longitudinal G forces and yaw rate. It compares the driver's control inputs with the vehicle's actual response. Whenever the actual response falls outside of a predetermined acceptable range, VSA intervenes with a corrective action. For instance, if VSA detects an oversteer condition, the system may apply braking force to the outside front and rear wheels to counteract the unintended yawing effect. In the event of understeer, VSA may apply braking to the inside rear wheel while reducing engine power to help return the vehicle to its intended course.

VSA also provides a limited-slip differential effect for the front wheels by applying braking force to a slipping wheel, thereby redirecting driving force to the wheel with more traction. VSA is calibrated to function in a near-transparent manner, and in many cases a driver will not even be aware of its operation. However, anytime the system is enhancing vehicle stability, an indicator light flashes in the instrument cluster. While the driver can reduce the traction control effectiveness allowing more wheel slip during stuck condition by pressing the VSA button, ABS remains fully operational at all times.

Motion-Adaptive Electric Power Steering (EPS)Motion-Adaptive Electric Power Steering (EPS) is standard on all 2016 Civic models. The system incorporates driving stability technology that initiates steering inputs that prompt the driver to steer in the correct direction during cornering and in slippery road conditions. Using vehicle speed and steering angle data, Motion-Adaptive EPS works with Honda's Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA®)10 and Electric Power Steering to detect instability in slippery road conditions both during cornering and under braking and automatically initiates steering inputs aimed at prompting the driver to steer in the correct direction. This advanced technology supports the driver's action in operating the vehicle more safely and comfortably.

Two examples of how Motion-Adaptive Electric Power Steering (EPS) functions in conjunction with VSA are:

Stabilizes Vehicle under BrakingThis function helps to correct the driver's steering input to reduce vehicle instability when the driver is braking hard on road surfaces with different friction coefficients (such as pavement that is partially covered with dirt or snow).

Mitigates Understeer and Oversteer To mitigate potential understeer or oversteer situations, the system helps correct the steering inputs to help the driver trace the curve.

(See the Chassis section for more information.)

Brake AssistA function of the VSA® system10, the Brake Assist feature recognizes heavy braking situations and almost instantly applies added braking force. This Brake Assist feature is controlled by a special logic in the system that evaluates the pedal application rate and force to recognize a panic stop situation. At that point, the VSA modulator pump increases braking pressure while the pedal is still being pressed to ensure maximum stopping force, an action that can help shorten braking distance.

Advanced 4-Channel ABS with Electronic Brake DistributionFor the first time, all Civic trims are fitted with 4-wheel disc brakes with four-channel anti-lock braking (ABS). The ABS system also incorporates Electronic Brake Distribution (EBD) circuitry that automatically proportions front-to-rear brake force based on the vehicle's dynamic load on each wheel. Larger front brake disc dimensions and a larger master cylinder improve stopping performance and pedal feel. (See the Chassis section for more information.)

SeatbeltsThe front seatbelts are equipped with pyrotechnic pretensioners and load limiting retractors to help minimize injury potential in a frontal collision. When an impact occurs, the automatic tensioner tightens the seatbelt (shoulder and lap) to help hold the seat occupant firmly in position. Each front seatbelt retractor incorporates a load limiter that works in conjunction with the automatic tensioner. The load limiter functions by permitting a small amount of controlled seatbelt slack shortly after the automatic tensioner is activated to limit the peak restraining forces and thereby reducing the potential of serious injury. The front seatbelts also feature adjustable-height shoulder anchors. To help increase seat-belt usage, a reminder for the driver and front passenger has been incorporated into the instrument cluster. After starting the vehicle, a weight sensor detects whether the front passenger seat is occupied. If the driver or front passenger has not already fastened the seat belt, an icon in the cluster illuminates and a chime sounds as a reminder to do so.

Crash Locking TongueThe Civic's front seatbelts use a "crash locking tongue" latch plate design that locks the webbing in place during a collision, helping to better restrain the occupant. During normal driving conditions the seatbelt webbing moves freely through the latch plate in the normal manner. However in the event of a collision, forces exerted on the lap and shoulder sections of the seatbelt push the webbing against a "reaction surface" inside the latch plate, locking the webbing in place.

Dual-stage, Multiple-Threshold Front AirbagsBoth the driver and front passenger are protected by advanced front airbags (SRS) that incorporate dual-stage and multiple-threshold activation technology. If deployed, these airbags are capable of being inflated at different rates depending on crash severity, seatbelt usage and other factors. Like other Honda vehicles, the driver's front airbag is located in the steering wheel while the passenger airbag is located on the top of the dash. When deployed, the passenger airbag inflates upward and then rearward to maximize its protective potential while reducing the likelihood of injuries caused by airbag deployment.

Driver's Spiral AirbagIn a first for the North American market, the 2016 Civic incorporates spiral stitching into the driver's front airbag. The spiral nature of the airbag promotes early restraint and maintains a constant pressure by reducing volume early and maximizing volume later in deployment.

Front Passenger's Safety Vent AirbagA Honda first, the passenger's front airbag in the 2016 Civic features a new safety vent system that increases safety for the front passenger in a frontal collision involving an airbag deployment. If the passenger is sitting "out of position" such as leaning forward in the pathway of the airbag deployment the auxiliary vents remain open, directing a significant amount of gas out and away from the occupant. As a result, the potential for injury from the airbag striking an out-of-position passenger is reduced. However if the passenger is correctly seated, the airbag has an internal tether that will close the auxiliary vents at the necessary time to provide optimal occupant restraint.

Driver and Front Passenger SmartVent® Side AirbagsSide airbags mounted in the outboard area of each front seatback are designed to help provide pelvic and thorax protection for the driver and front passenger in the event of a severe side impact. In the 2016 Civic, a revised side airbag design allows the side airbags to deploy in a manner that helps mitigate the risk of injury to a smaller seat occupant.

Side Curtain AirbagsAll outboard seating positions are protected by side curtain airbags with a rollover sensor system. In the event of a severe side impact, the side curtain airbags deploy from modules in the roof, providing a significant level of head protection in the window area. In the unlikely event of a rollover, a roll-rate sensor, along with multiple G sensors determine the rate of roll and deploy the side curtain airbags accordingly. The side curtain airbags will also deploy and provide head protection in frontal impacts as necessary. For example, small overlap impacts, where the front corner of the vehicle collides with a solid object.

Like the other airbag systems in the vehicle, the side curtain system utilizes sensors to determine the most appropriate timing of airbag deployment. To provide the optimal level of protection for occupants, testing was performed to determine the most appropriate timing and rate of deployment in the unlikely event of a rollover. The system uses algorithms to continually evaluate the situation and determines whether a rollover is imminent. The roll-rate sensor and multiple G sensors (accelerometers) determine the "scenario" and calculate the angle of roll and the speed of the vehicle in order to deploy the airbags at the correct point for optimum protection.

In the case of a rollover, the side curtain airbags on both sides of the vehicle will deploy. However, in the event of a sufficient side impact that does not result in a rollover, only the airbags on the impacted side of the vehicle will deploy. The airbag maintains full inflation for approximately six seconds after inflation to allow for the increased duration of a rollover accident.

Whiplash Mitigation Front Seat DesignBoth of the front seats are designed to help mitigate the severity of neck injuries in the event of a rear impact. In the event of a rear crash, the seat efficiently disperses rear impact forces against the occupant as the seatback cushion compresses relative to the occupant's head. The seatback springs are optimized so that in a rear crash, when the seatback is pushed forward into the occupant, the seat will absorb the occupant's mass in manner that can help minimize the severity of a whiplash injury.

Adjustable Head RestraintsThe front seats feature individually adjustable head restraints. The front head restraints are 0.8 inches narrower than in the previous Civic Coupe, substantially improving visibility for the rear-seat passengers.

Lower Anchors and Tethers for CHildren (LATCH)In a first for Civic, all models are equipped with a child seat-mounting system called LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tethers for CHildren). Both of the second-row outboard seating positions are fitted with dedicated LATCH lower anchor attachment points. Tether anchors are provided the remaining middle seating position.

The LATCH system provides two lower anchors and an upper tether anchor. When used with a compatible child seat, the LATCH system provides attachment points between the child seat and the vehicle seat without having to use the vehicle's seat belts.

Additionally, all seat belts except the driver's are equipped with a locking retractor that can be used to help secure any child seat. Both rear side doors are also equipped with childproof door locks for added protection.

Indirect Tire Pressure Monitoring SystemNew for Civic, indirect Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)2 uses wheel-speed data collected by the 4-channel ABS system to determine when the air pressure in one tire drops below the recommended minimum. When this occurs, a symbol illuminates on the instrument panel to warn the driver. Indirect TPMS is simpler and lighter than traditional wheel-sensor TPMS, resulting in lower overall vehicle weight, which in turn helps improve handling and fuel efficiency. (See the Chassis section for more information.)

Expanded View Driver's MirrorAll Civic models are equipped with an Expanded View Driver's Mirror that increases the driver's field of vision to provide a better view of objects to the back and side of the vehicle. The Expanded View Driver's Mirror uses a flat reflective plane on the inner portion of the mirror closest to the door, while the outer portion of the mirror uses a convex element to provide a broader field of view.

Multi-Angle Rearview CameraAll 2015 and newer Honda models incorporate a multi-angle rearview camera1. Viewable on the Coupe LX and LX-P's 5-inch color LCD screen and the Coupe EX-T and above trims' 7-inch Display Audio touchscreen, the camera can show a top view, normal or wide view when the transmission is in Reverse. The LX trim features static guidelines that help the driver better judge distances, while EX-T and above trims have dynamic guidelines that project the vehicle's future path based on the driver's steering inputs. See the following page for an image of the Display Audio screen views. (See the Interior section for more information.)

Honda LaneWatchCivic EX-T Coupe and above trims include the Honda LaneWatch3 display. Honda LaneWatch uses a camera located at the bottom the passenger-side exterior mirror to display a wide-angle view of the passenger side roadway on the new 7-inch Display Audio touchscreen. The image appears when the right turn signal is activated or when a button on the end of the turn signal stalk is pressed. (See the Interior section for more information.)

The typical field of view for a passenger-side mirror is approximately 18 to 22 degrees, but the LaneWatch display field-of-view is about four times greater, or approximately 80 degrees. The system helps the driver to see traffic, pedestrians or objects not always seen using the mirror alone. To help make judging distance easier, three reference lines are shown. Drivers should visually confirm roadway conditions prior to changing lanes.

LaneWatch can be customized to suit the driver's preferences. Turn-signal activation of the LaneWatch system can be switched on or off, as can the three on-screen reference lines. Screen brightness, contrast and black level are also adjustable.

Honda SensingComprised of a suite of safety and driver assistive features, Honda Sensing helps provide greater awareness of driving conditions around the vehicle. Honda Sensing is included as standard equipment on the Touring trim.

Honda Sensing features include the following:

* First for Civic^ First for Honda

Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS)In a first for Civic Coupe, Touring Coupe offers the Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS)4, one of the most sophisticated driver-assistive technologies available. A millimeter wave radar unit, located behind the front grille, and monocular camera, located between the rearview mirror and windshield, scans traffic conditions ahead of the Civic.

When the system determines a collision is possible with a detected vehicle, the integrated Forward Collision Warning (FCW)5 system's visual and audible alerts prompt the driver to take corrective actions. The visual alert appears on the Multi-Information Display (MID). If the situation is not resolved, CMBS can apply different levels of autonomous braking action to help reduce vehicle speed and eventual collision forces, and therefore to help reduce the severity of a collision if the driver doesn't take corrective action on their own. The radar unit and camera work simultaneously and cooperatively to control the VSA10 modulator, which initiates any required braking.

Due to the effectiveness of its monocular camera, CMBS can recognize shapes and differentiate between a vehicle and a pedestrian, warning the driver in each case. See the 2016 Civic CMBS animation for an active representation of system operation.

It is important to note that CMBS cannot detect all objects ahead, nor is it intended to replace the driver's assessment of traffic conditions and control of the vehicle. The driver must intervene in certain situations, and must always be attentive when using the system. Although in many cases CMBS will stop the vehicle, it is not intended to apply enough braking force to prevent all collisions. Based on the conditions, the system also may not perform all visual- and audible-alert stages, and may instead automatically engage the brakes if the system deems it necessary. CMBS may be turned off by pressing the CMBS button on the left side of the dash.

Forward Collision Warning (FCW) Integrated with CMBSIn another Civic first, Forward Collision Warning (FCW)5 is included in Civic Touring Coupe. Integrated with CMBS, Forward Collision Warning (FCW) uses the monocular camera to detect vehicles ahead and to determine whether a collision is likely. This reduces the stress of driving in traffic, while also contributing to an increased level of passive safety.

If the FCW system detects a vehicle in front of the Civic and then determines that a collision may occur (due to a speed differential between the two vehicles), it will trigger visual and audible alerts for the driver. These include a "BRAKE" message on the Multi-Information Display (MID), and a series of beeps to alert the driver to apply the brake pedal. The FCW system will not automatically brake, and the driver remains responsible for safely operating the vehicle and avoiding collisions. If the driver doesn't respond to the FCW warnings, however, the CMBS is triggered into operation.

Drivers may adjust the distance at which FCW alerts occur by pressing the "SETTINGS" button, selecting "Vehicle Settings," and then choosing "Driver Assist System Setup" and the "Forward Collision Warning Distance" option. At this point they may choose between "Long," "Normal" or "Short." And if they choose to, drivers may also select "Off" to disable the FCW system entirely.

Note that the FCW system cannot detect all objects ahead and may not detect a given object; accuracy will vary based on weather, speed and other factors.

Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS)The Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS)8 provides a less stressful driving experience by reducing the need for steering correction movements and driving effort on the highway. LKAS uses a camera to read lane markings and uses the Electric Power Steering to assist the driver in maintaining their position within the lane.

Designed for the U.S. road structure, the system uses a monocular camera mounted on the upper portion of the windshield to identify painted lanes, Botts' Dots and Cat Eye markers at speeds between 45 mph and 90 mph. When LKAS senses that the driver is drifting from the middle of a detected lane, the system generates corrective steering torque to assist the driver in maintaining lane position.

LKAS may be activated and deactivated using a switch located on the lower right part of the steering wheel. The system will suspend operation after several seconds if the driver takes his or her hands off the wheel, accompanied by a visual warning in the MID, resuming when the driver makes a steering input. See the 2016 Civic LKAS Animation for an active representation of system operation.

Road Departure Mitigation (RDM)Integrating LDW6 (see below), Road Departure Mitigation (RDM)7 uses a monocular camera (mounted on the upper portion of the windshield) to identify solid or dashed painted lane lines, Botts' dots and Catseye markers. RDM uses steering force, via EPS to help the Civic stay in its lane and, if the vehicle is detected leaving a lane marked by solid lines, braking force, via VSA10, to keep the vehicle from departing the lane or roadway altogether.

The monocular camera recognizes lane features and identifies the lane. If the RDM system determines that the Civic is about to leave a detected lane, it will provide steering assist (primary) and in rare occasions when steering assist is not sufficient to avoid leaving a lane marked by a solid line, braking assist, to help the driver stay on the road. RDM is integrated with the Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA) system to provide moderate braking, and with the Electric Power Steering (EPS) system to provide steering input.

Multiple visual and audible warnings alert the driver when the RDM system is taking corrective action. These include a lane departure warning on the driver's Driver Information Interface (DII) along with an audible warning.

RDM also has a customizable initial warning of either a steering wheel shake/vibration, or an audible alert. This can be customized in the vehicle settings. RDM can be turned off by using the RDM Off button on the left of the dash. See the 2016 Civic RDM Animation for an active representation of system operation.

Lane Departure Warning (LDW) Integrated with RDMLane Departure Warning (LDW)6 is designed to alert the driver if the vehicle is leaving a detected lane without the turn signal being activated. The system functions at speeds from 45 to 90 mph on straight or slightly curved roads, alerting the driver of deviations from a detected lane. The LDW system utilizes the same upper front windshield camera used for CMBS® and LKAS8 and provides the visual and auditory alerts prior to the other systems actively engaging.

If the vehicle begins to move out of a detected lane without the turn signal activated, LDW illuminates a Lane Departure message on the Multi-Information Display (MID) and sounds an audible warning, advising the driver to take appropriate action. The system can be activated and deactivated by pressing the LDW button located on the instrument panel, to the left of the steering column.

There are certain conditions under which the system may not engage or operate, including inclement weather (e.g., snow, ice or heavy rain) and extreme cabin heat (due to operability of the camera). The system will automatically suspend operation when the brakes are applied or the turn signals are used. LDW may not detect all lane markings or lane departures; accuracy will vary based on weather, speed and road condition. The driver remains responsible for safely operating the vehicle.

Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with Low-Speed Follow (LSF)Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)9 allows the driver to set a desired speed and following interval from a vehicle detected ahead, allowing the use of cruise control in light traffic conditions. This significantly reduces the driver stress of driving in traffic. The system uses the millimeter wave radar and monocular camera to continually track the distance to the vehicle detected ahead, and then adjusts the Civic's speed to maintain the set following interval. A short, medium, long, or extra-long interval can be selected When required, the Civic autonomously brakes using the Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA®)10 modulator.

Integrated Low-Speed Follow (LSF) extends the automatic following capability to stop-and-go traffic situations (down to 0 mph).

ACC operates in the following ways in the listed circumstances:

A Driver Information Interface (DII) message and audible warning alert the driver when the ACC function is activated. See the 2016 Civic ACC Animation for an active representation of system operation.
