SmartVent® Front Side Airbags

What’s the Benefit?

Accord’s front side airbags help enhance driver and front-passenger protection in a side impact.

The Feature:

Front side airbags are standard on all Accord models.

• In the event of a moderate-to-severe side impact, the SmartVent^® side airbag is designed to deploy and inflate quickly to maximize potential protection for properly seated occupants, helping to protect the driver’s or front passenger’s upper body from injury.
• The side airbags are designed to vent before fully inflating if an occupant is in the side-airbag deployment path, thereby decreasing the likelihood of an airbag-related injury.
