Type R
Built at the Honda UK plant in Swindon, the all new fourth
generation Civic Type R is developed from the Mk9 Civic.
The Type R is available as a 5 door only and in two trim
levels, with AEB as standard fitment.

Structure
image source:Honda
The ACE™ body structure provides significantly enhanced occupant protection, aiming at
equalising the impact forces between two dissimilar cars by minimising the potential for
under-ride or over-ride situations. The front-mounted polygonal main sub-frame is designed
to prevent cabin deformation by distributing impact load forces through multiple major load
paths, away from the occupant compartment.

Technology
Technology
The underbody is effectively flattened to enable a ground effect, providing negative
air pressure to suck the car down onto the road, aiding stability. This is further enhanced
by the large rear wing.
Airflow is also managed by the front lower bumper and body side sill skirts, reducing
air turbulence and reducing drag.
Both trim levels are fitted with Honda`s City-Brake Active System (CTBA) as standard.
The system uses laser/radar technology to scan the road ahead, automatically applying the
brakes if an imminent risk of collision is detected, to avoid or mitigate low speed accidents.
This system operates at speeds below 20 mph. If the system identifies a risk of collision,
an audible and visual warning will occur, eventually followed by full autonomous braking.
The GT version is enhanced with Honda`s Driver Assistance Safety Pack which uses radar
sensors, plus forward and rear facing cameras, proving additional safety technologies such as
Forward Collision Warning, Traffic Sign Recognition, Intelligent Speed Limiter, Lane Departure
Warning and High Beam Support System:
Forward Collision Warning
Forward Collision Warning detects the risk of collision by recognising the vehicle (car or truck)
directly in front, using the multi-purpose camera. The system operates when the car is at
a speed of 15 km/h and above. On detecting the risk of collision, it will offer visual and
audible warnings. The warning distance can be adjusted to the driver’s preferences and the
system can be turned off by the driver at any time.
Lane Departure Warning
Lane Departure Warning also uses the multi-purpose camera to track lane markings on the
road, detecting if the car deviates from its current lane without indicating. Lane Departure
Warning alerts the driver with audible and visual warnings.

High Beam Support System
High Beam Support System works at above 40 km/h to switch the High Beam head lights
on or off automatically depending on oncoming vehicles and ambient conditions. This system
can be turned off by the driver.

Blind Spot Information
Blind Spot Information uses radar to automatically detect vehicles in the driver’s blind spot
and warn of potential dangers when the vehicle is travelling at speeds above 20 km/h.
The system provides a visual warning displayed on the door mirror.
Cross Traffic Monitor
Honda’s Cross Traffic Monitor system uses rear-side radar sensors to warn the driver
of approaching vehicles during reversing manoeuvres. The rear-view camera screen
or display uses arrows to show the direction of the travelling vehicle on the i-MID display
screen and an audible warning sound. The system detects vehicles travelling up to 25 km/h.

Traffic Sign Recognition
The multi-purpose camera is used for Traffic Sign Recognition system to detect and read road
signs (displaying speed limits and ‘No Passing’ information) whenever the vehicle is moving
forward. The system automatically recognises and displays the signs via the i-MID once the
vehicle has passed the sign.
