| A 5-speed manual transmission and an
available 5-speed automatic are your
choices for 2.4-liter Accords. In addition
to the 5-speed automatic for V-6 models,
you can also go with a 6-speed stick.
Variable valve timing and lift electronic
control (VTEC) helps spread the power
across the rpm range. The i-VTEC system
on 4-cylinder engines adds refinement
with intake variable timing control (VTC).
More power never hurts, so every 06 Accord gets a boost. The 2.4-liter i-VTEC
4-cylinder now has 166 hp, and the 3.0-liter VTEC V-6 supplies 244 horses all with
excellent Honda fuel efficiency. 1 All models now have a Drive-by-Wire Throttle System
to refine response, and the Maintenance Minder tells you when its time for service.
The 4-valve design makes the flow really go.
Every Accord gets the VTEC treatment.
| Embrace total indulgence.
Was it made just for you? Accord drivers tend to feel that way. Controls fall easily

Accords now have a remote entry system. And leather-trimmed models give you
heated front seats and automatic climate control to enhance your experience as well.
Theres a place for everything in your Accord.

When you maintain steady speeds and light
engine loads, Variable Cylinder Management
(VCM) is silently activated. It works to boost
mileage and range on the highway, while
IMA extends efficiency around town.
Braking
When slowing, the IMA Systems electric
motor becomes a generator. It recharges
the batteries by recapturing kinetic energy
with the help of an electronically controlled
transmission tuned to maximize recharging.
At a Stop
Come up to a stoplight, and the idle-stop
feature shuts down the gasoline engine to
reduce fuel use and emissions. Then step
on the accelerator, and combined gas and
electric power provide instant propulsion.
Starting
The IMA Systems electric power aids the
engines horsepower for a brisk takeoff.
IMA is normally used to start the engine,
but theres also a backup 12-volt battery and
starter if the IMA System batteries are low.
Acceleration
When you need to get up to speed or pass
with authority, you have a
| Funny, it doesnt feel like a model of efficiency.
You dont have to tell anyone, but the Accord Hybrid is actually a luxury car that just happens to get economy-car mileage. 4 Its comforts
and conveniences include supple leather trim and an 8-way power drivers seat. An automatic climate control system maintains your
desired environment quietly and efficiently. The remote entry system makes for quick and easy entries and exits. And for 2006, theres
also a new power moonroof to bring sunny skies or starry nights inside. Being green never felt better.

| V-6 Accords have traction control. A function of
VSA, it helps prevent wheel slippage during
acceleration. The new Brake Assist on V-6 models
is designed to help during emergency braking.
The Accord Sedans Occupant Position Detection
System (OPDS) will prevent deployment of the
front passengers side airbag if a child or smallstatured adult is in its deployment path.
Accord won a 5-star frontal crash-test rating. *
While stopping hard, the standard ABS helps you
maintain steering-especially on slippery surfaces.
And the Electronic Brake Distribution (EBD) on
most models helps balance dynamic loading.
Traction control helps reduce slip in the slop.
The best policy is to steer around trouble.
