Honda Mall of Georgia: Safety features improving with rearview cameras

In a move to enhance driver visibility and confidence on the road, Honda has announced they will begin installing rearview cameras on many of their 2013 models. According to Honda, more than 94 percent of the model lineup will be equipped with rearview cameras, with 100 percent of Honda's truck lineup (Crosstour,  CR-V, Odyssey, Pilot, Ridgeline) having the equipment. The CR-Z, Accord and Crosstour will also have the cameras come standard, Honda says.

"At Honda, we feel that this visibility feature will be important to many families and we're widely applying it even before we may be required to do so," said Vicki Poponi, assistant vice president of product planning for American Honda, in a released statement. "In addition to the wide application of the rear-view camera technology, Honda is also introducing several new features for enhanced driver safety, visibility and security in model-year 2013."

Honda wants to provide drivers with 360-degree visibility with technologies and rearview cameras are but a small element in that movement. Other initiatives like Honda's new Forward Collision Warning and Lane Departure Warning systems will be available on the 2013 Accord and Crosstour. Cameras placed behind the windshield warn drivers of possible collisions or if the car is unexpectedly veering from its lane.

Standard on the 2012 CR-V is another new feature, the Expanded View Driver's Mirror and the Honda-exclusive LaneWatch blind-spot display. A camera mounted on the passenger mirror allows an enhanced view of the passenger-side roadway and is the basis of the LaneWatch technology. This safety feature will debut on the 2013 Accord as well as the 2013 Crosstour.
