Front Side Airbags with Passenger-Side Occupant Position Detection System (OPDS)','In the event of a moderate-to-severe side impact, the side airbag inflates to help reduce the likelihood of injury to the driver’s or front passenger’s upper body. The Occupant Position Detection System (OPDS) utilizes sensors in the front passenger’s seatback to detect the height and seating position of the occupant. If a child or small-statured adult is leaning into the deployment path of the side airbag, sensors deactivate it.','<a href=/civic-sedan/features.aspx?feature=opds>View Demo</a>','');){kind=small} |
