Honda FCX Clarity - Hydrogen Fuel Cell Vehicle: Safety

We believe high safety standards can apply to all vehicles—even the groundbreaking ones. Six airbags are standard. Vehicle Stability Assist™ (VSA®) and Electronic Brake Distribution (EBD) systems are standard. Even a Collision Mitigation Braking System™ (CMBS™) is present and accounted for.

And the FCX Clarity passed all the same rigorous tests required by U.S. safety standards that other Honda models have endured. So you can drive the FCX Clarity with confidence.

Unique Protection

Omni-directional crash protection is in place to help protect the hydrogen and electrical devices in the event of a collision.

Next Best Thing to a Co-Pilot

Honda Motor Co., LTD introduced the Collision Mitigation Braking System™ (CMBS™) in 2003, and we have now added it to the FCX Clarity. CMBS™ can help detect certain potential collisions and, through the use of visual and audio alerts plus an automatic tug of the seat belt, it can alert the driver to take action. If a collision cannot be avoided, front seat belts are automatically retracted and braking force reduces the vehicle's speed to help lessen the force of the collision.*

Honda has also taken safety precautions with regard to tank and refueling safety.

*Depending on the speed of closure between the vehicles, CMBS may skip one or both of the steps prior to braking.
