The 2003 Accord Coupe utilizes the most advanced safety systems available.
To ensure proper impact protection, the body has been designed with the very latest in computerized finite-element modeling and stress-analysis software.
Honda uses techniques like this to create a body with exceptional bending and torsional rigidity. The result is a passenger cabin that can withstand impact forces while protecting the occupants. And of course, every Accord is equipped with a standard anti-lock braking system (ABS), dual-stage front airbags (SRS) and sturdy pillars to maximize occupant protection in the case of a rollover and front side airbags, side curtain airbags.*
*Side curtain airbags available on EX V-6 models.

Side airbags inflate to help protect the driver's or front passenger's upper body. Honda took this safety technology a step further than its competitors with its Occupant Position Detection System (OPDS). The system 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.

All Accord V-6 models feature a standard Honda electronic Traction Control System (TCS). Working with the ABS sensors and the electronic control unit (ECU), TCS monitors front-wheel slippage, such as when starting out on slick surfaces or patches of ice. If wheel slippage is detected, TCS activates one or more brake calipers to slow the spinning wheel to regain traction. TCS can also help maintain stability when starting out on surfaces with split coefficients of friction; such an instance would be when one wheel is on ice while the other is on dry pavement.
The Accord's body design plays a key role in helping achieve its exceptional rigidity and enviable safety rating. It also helps minimize noise and vibration, and even contributes to the Accord's enhanced ride and handling characteristics. For 2003, Honda engineers increased the body's torsional rigidity a significant 27% while maintaining the excellent bending rigidity of the previous generation.
