Civic at a Glance

1. The backup camera does not provide a comprehensive view of the rear area of the vehicle. You should also look around outside your vehicle and use your mirrors to

confirm rearward clearance. Cold weather will limit effectiveness and view may become cloudy. 2. 2015 and 2014 EPA-estimated mileage. Actual mileage will vary. 3. Top Safety Pick+ Award applies only to optional front crash prevention models. Insurance Institute for Highway Safety rating for 2014 Honda Civic, vehicle class Small Cars. For more details on 2014 Top Safety Pick and Top Safety Pick Plus Awards, see www.iihs.org. 4. 2014 compact sedan class. www.edmunds.com 5. Apps/services vary by phone/carrier; functionality depends on many factors. Select apps use large amounts of data; you are responsible for charges. Apps & services subject to change. See Toyota.com/entune® for details. Be sure to obey traffic regulations and maintain awareness of road and traffic conditions at all times. 6. Cargo and load capacity limited by weight and distribution. 7. All the airbag (AB) systems are Supplemental Restraint Systems. All ABs (if installed) are designed to inflate only under certain conditions and in certain types of severe collisions: frontal and knee ABs typically inflate in frontal collisions; side and side curtain ABs in side collisions; Roll-Sensing Curtain ABs at a severe tilt degree, roll or lateral G-force. In all other accidents, the ABs will not inflate. To decrease the risk of injury from an inflating AB, always wear seatbelts, sit upright in the middle of the seat as far back as possible and do not lean against the door. Do not put objects in front of an AB or around the seatback. Do not use a rearward-facing child seat in any front passenger seat. The force of an inflating AB may cause serious injury or death. See your Owner’s Manual for further information/warnings. 8. 2014 Corolla S Plus and 2014 Honda Civic EX. IntelliChoice, www.IntelliChoice.com. 9.
