Does the 2017 Honda Pilot Touring have blind spot monitoring?
Yes, the 2017 Honda Pilot Touring model comes equipped with blind spot monitoring as a standard feature. Blind spot monitoring is a driver assistance technology that helps detect vehicles in the driver's blind spots and alerts them when changing lanes.
Detailed Overview of the 2017 Honda Pilot Touring's Blind Spot Monitoring
The 2017 Honda Pilot Touring is the top-of-the-line trim level of the Pilot SUV. In addition to a range of premium features, the Touring model includes Honda Sensing, a suite of advanced safety and driver-assistive technologies. One of the key components of Honda Sensing is the blind spot monitoring system.
The blind spot monitoring system in the 2017 Honda Pilot Touring uses radar sensors located in the rear bumper to detect vehicles in the driver's blind spots on either side of the vehicle. When a vehicle is detected in a blind spot, the system illuminates an indicator light in the corresponding side mirror to alert the driver. This helps the driver make safer lane changes and avoid potential collisions.
