Winter is a harsh season for your vehicle. Freezing temperatures, snowstorms and ice build-up can pose challenges to the smooth running of an automobile. Fortunately, Honda vehicles are specially designed to cope with winter. What's more, they're equipped with technologies and features that make the job easier.
HondaLink and remote start
If you already own a Honda, you'll know that the HondaLink application comes in very handy. Among other things, it lets you locate your vehicle, access concierge services and lock and unlock your doors remotely. This application, which you can download to your cell phone, also lets you start your vehicle remotely. In other words, if your vehicle is buried under snow, you can start it using your phone. You can do the same on a freezing morning. Automatic temperature control usually takes just a few minutes to warm up a vehicle's interior.
If necessary, you can also switch off your vehicle's engine remotely via the same application.
Heated seats and steering wheel
Once you've enjoyed heated seats and steering wheel in winter, you can't do without them. During the cold season, they considerably increase the level of comfort on board a car. Once you've cleared the snow and ice from your vehicle, it's great to be able to warm up inside it from the very first moment.
It's important to note that the entire Honda range is available with heated seats and steering wheel. So there's no need to worry about the cold weather when you're behind the wheel of a Honda. What's more, some models even come with heated rear seats to enhance comfort levels for all occupants.
Four-wheel drive
Honda's SUVs and Ridgeline pickup are equipped with a four-wheel drive system. Combined with quality winter tires, this system becomes a real asset. For example, it can get your vehicle out of a snow bank or off a patch of ice with ease.
The Honda Pilot, Passport and Ridgeline feature the i-VTM4 all-wheel drive system. This includes variable torque distribution technology to optimize traction, whatever the surface or conditions. Its torque vectoring is designed to enhance responsiveness.
As for the HR-V and CR-V, they feature all-wheel drive with intelligent control. This technology automatically transfers torque from front to rear if a loss of traction is detected.
With HondaLink remote start, heated seats and steering wheel, and an efficient four-wheel drive system, you'll be able to face winter safely behind the wheel of a Honda.
