Interior
The latest generation of the Honda Satellite-Linked Navigation System is available on the CR-V
EX-L trim level and features a 6.5-inch display whose opening and closing motion is operated by
an electric motor for access to the internal single-disc CD player and a digital audio card reader
that can play MP3 and WMA files from CompactFlash® cards (an external 6-disc CD changer is
housed in the center console). The navigation system features more than 6 million points of
interest and the voice recognition is capable of recognizing and inputting numbers, street names
and cities, along with controlling the audio system.
For 2007, all audio systems are more powerful with at least 160 watts. As much as 270 Watts
and seven speakers including a subwoofer are available on the EX-L with Navigation. Auxiliary
audio input jacks are standard equipment on all trim levels, allowing for portable music device
playback through the CR-V’s speakers. XM® Satellite Radio is standard on the EX-L. The LX
trim level has a four-speaker 160-watt audio system with a single-disc CD player. All CR-V
audio systems have MP3/WMA CD playback capability and Speed-Sensitive Volume Control
(SVC) that automatically adjusts the volume based on vehicle speed.
Ease of Vehicle Entry and Exit
As a benefit from the introduction of the all-new CR-V platform, the side sill step-in height is
lower by 1.3 inches (32 mm) so that ingress and egress feels more sedan-like. The lower side sill
has larger door openings lower to the ground, so getting in and out of the CR-V is easy and
natural. In addition, the seat cushion’s height approximates the hip height of an average height
adult, so passengers do not have to “climb” in and out of the seats. Door openings feature a
durable, non-skid plastic surface that provides a sure footing for standing when accessing the
roof. Additionally, the tailgate has a low load-in height to make placing objects in the cargo area
a convenient process.

system. The voice recognition, capable of more
than 650 system commands, can also recognize any street name and city name in the extensive
nationwide database.
A rearview camera is standard equipment and is activated whenever the vehicle is in reverse. The
color camera is located near the rear license plate and has a wide-angle lens.
Honda navigation systems have long been recognized for their simple, intuitive operation and
extensive on-board database. When navigating freeways, a split screen design enhances onscreen information with a "map view" and "3-D" route visualization of freeways simultaneouslywhich helps make navigation information easier to understand. The system is integrated with the
car's audio system, so driving instructions can be heard over the speaker system, and the voice
recognition feature adds a hands-free realm of control to the navigation system.
The Honda Satellite-Linked DVD Navigation System uses Global Positioning Satellites (GPS) in
combination with detailed information from the vehicle's DVD-based mapping system to
pinpoint the vehicle's location and to provide a host of useful mapping and route guidance
features.
The antenna can utilize up to 12 satellites from a network of 24 global positioning satellites. If
the antenna is obstructed by a tunnel, a parking garage or a tall building, an internal gyroscopic
system and a speed sensor track the location of the vehicle so that the map information remains
current and reliable. The vehicle clock is independently controlled by GPS data, so when time
zones are crossed while driving the clock will automatically set itself to the current time.
Turn-by-turn voice guidance is user selectable in either male or female voice and can be turned
off at any time. Destination memory recalls current trip addresses and previous destinations; and
calendar and calculator with English to metric number converter is standard. The navigation
system can be controlled by the driver through either the voice recognition system, the touch
screen display, or by the joystick on the instrument panel. The voice recognition system works
when the "talk" button, located on the steering wheel, is depressed. When spoken to, the system
recognizes commands such as "find nearest gas station," or "find nearest ATM" and can also
recognize street and city names.

Interior
The 6.5-inch LCD display is a touch screen (TFT, resistive film) that allows the driver or front
passenger to choose menu options or type a word (i.e. address, business name, place, etc.)
through a touch-sensitive keypad. The keypad can be set to alphabetical or a QWERTY
typewriter-style layout. Alternatively, the joystick can be used to highlight menu options or to
highlight specific letters on the keypad to complete a word. A matte finish is used on the display
to reduce glare and smudging. When disc loading is selected for the CD player, the motorized
screen conveniently tilts down to allow access to the CD loader located behind the screen.
For data storage, the system uses a single 8 GB DVD that contains information for the entire
United States. Future updates to the navigation system can be made by installing an updated
DVD (available by via Honda’s OwnerLink on-line or by calling a toll free number in the
owner’s manual).
Three-Spoke Steering Wheel with Tilt and Telescope Column
The three-spoke steering wheel on the CR-V matches the vehicle’s sporty character with a
smaller diameter (15 inches) that also accents the vehicle’s quicker steering ratio. All models
include manual tilt and telescope steering wheel adjustments to better accommodate drivers of
various sizes. All trim levels include cruise control buttons on the right side of the steering wheel
for set, accelerate, decelerate and cancel. CR-V EX and EX-L models include audio controls on
the left side of the steering wheel for volume and channel selection. CR-V’s equipped with the
available navigation system also have buttons on the steering wheel for the input of voice
commands. The CR-V EX-L steering wheel is leather-wrapped (along with the shifter lever).
Reclining Front Bucket Seats with Adjustable Head Restraints
The CR-V front seats have been completely redesigned with wider (+0.8 inches) and more
supportive seat construction thanks to progressively tuned foam bolsters. The driving position
has been optimized in relation to the steering wheel and vehicle controls, and folding armrests
are installed on the inboard portions of the seat. An innovative front seat active head restraint
system enhances the seat’s ability to minimize the potential for a neck injury in the event of a
rear collision (see Active Head Restraints in Interior Safety section).
Both front seats manually recline and move forward and back. The driver’s seat features a
manual height adjustment control with 1.6 inches total of up and down travel. A ratchet-style
lever on the left side of the seat makes adjusting the height easy – just pull up or push down to
move the seat in increments.
Seat construction integrates several significant technologies. High strength steel now comprises
the majority of the seats internal steel framework. Composite components are used in the base
and the seatback to minimize weight and proactively influence seat cushion feedback. The foam
cushions employ various densities in the bolsters compared to other areas in the seat to provide
the right level of comfort (softness) and support (firmness) in all the right places.

60/40 Split Rear Sliding Fold and Tumble Seats
The 60/40 Split Rear Seats provide generous seating surfaces that are both comfortable and
functional. The standard cargo volume behind the second row (seats upright) measures 35.7
cubic feet. To increase storage space, the seats can be folded down and tumbled forward to more
than double the cargo area storage space and accommodate long, bulky items like a mountain
bike or large boxes. In this cargo configuration, the CR-V offers a total of 72.9 cubic feet of
storage behind the front seats, more than enough for two 26-inch mountain bikes (with front
wheels attached).
Designed for practicality and convenience, the fold and tumble seat design allows for a flat cargo
floor. When folded, the three head restraints can remain in the seat backs (no removal necessary).
Maximum cargo length equals about 51 inches and the maximum width ranges between
approximately 39 inches (at wheel wells) to 54 inches (rear cargo area side panels). The rear
seats slide forward and backward to allow for the optimization of the cargo area and second row
passenger legroom. A new feature for 2007, the seatbacks have a 40/20/40 split design to allow
for center (or side) pass-through of long items.
Storage Areas and Dual-Deck Cargo Shelf
Convenient storage areas are easily accessible throughout the interior with approximately 20
individual storage areas ranging from an upper and lower glove box to eight individual beverage
holders to an underseat storage bin. New for 2007, a center console replaces the retractable
center tray table on the CR-V EX-L trim level. Each front door has a utility box compartment
built into the padded armrest along with bottle holders. The lockable 6.3-liter lower glove box is
illuminated, and the upper glove box enhances the previous concept of the open tray storage by
using a flip-down cover. Up front, there are two cupholders in the center console. In the rear seat
area, the center armrest folds down to reveal dual cupholders.
On CR-V EX and EX-L models, a new dual deck cargo shelf system allows for two levels of
storage in the rear cargo area. The shelf provides 13 inches (330 mm) of vertical space
underneath – enough room for a collapsed stroller or similar item – while still retaining a
convenient area to place smaller items on top (up to 20 pounds). The shelf is hinged at the front
for easy access to items underneath. The cargo shelf can also be placed on the floor for
conventional cargo area space utilization.

Retractable Center Tray Table
CR-V LX and EX trim levels provide a retractable center tray table with two beverage holders
and a storage tray. Solid and sturdy, the retractable center tray table folds down to allow center
pass-through between the first and second rows. New for 2007, the CR-V EX retractable center
tray adds a 12V DC accessory outlet and an MP3/auxiliary audio input jack. The new features
allow for more convenient integration of MP3 players and also provide a convenient place to
recharge electronic devices. (The CR-V LX has an audio input jack on the instrument panel
below the single-DIN radio.)
Center Console (EX-L)
New for 2007, a center console with two beverage holders is standard on the CR-V EX-L. As a
premium feature, the center console enhances the interior’s appearance while adding two
supplemental enclosed storage areas – a small container on the front and a larger one on the rear.
The larger container can store various items such as cell phones and MP3 players. It has a sliding
panel for quick and easy access, and contains a 12V DC accessory outlet and an MP3/auxiliary
audio input jack. On models equipped with the available Honda Navigation System, the front
portion of the console contains the 6 CD changer.
Climate Control
All CR-V trim levels provide air conditioning as standard equipment. The manual climate
controls are mounted centrally on the instrument panel for easy accessibility and utilize large,
glove-friendly rotary knobs for temperature settings and fan control (12-speeds). A new feature
for 2007 is the addition of push button selection for directing air through the various vents inside
the vehicle, i.e. defrost, heater, split level, etc.
2007 Honda CR-V

Interior
The new controls add a touch of class and simplify mode selection. A micron air-filtration
system is also standard. From a mechanical standpoint, the climate control system is designed to
be efficient and lightweight, utilizing a high capacity condenser with an integrated receiver/drier
to route liquid refrigerant through a sub-cooling condenser after cycling through the main
condenser – thus increasing efficiency.
Interior Lighting and Progressive Illumination
The progressive self-illuminating gauge package gives the CR-V a "welcoming" feel. When the
driver door is first opened, the instrument lighting comes to life, and then brightens progressively
to 100 percent when the ignition is switched on. The illuminated instrument needles and
enunciator lights then come alive, indicating that the CR-V is ready to go. At the end of the drive,
the instrument lighting dims progressively.
Interior switches are illuminated to make them easy to locate at night, including those on all four
doors and the steering wheel. The CR-V has blue low-level ambient lighting in the ceiling that
illuminates the front center console area. All four doors have courtesy lights that are illuminated
when the doors are open.
Power Windows and Power Door and Tailgate Locks
Power windows and power door and tailgate locks are standard equipment. The driver’s window
has convenient auto up and down operation and the passenger window has an auto up feature.
Power door locks can be customized to auto-lock when the vehicle is put in drive or when the
vehicle exceeds 9 mph (the auto lock functionality is turned off by default from the factory).
User-selectable childproof door locks are standard on the rear doors.
Keyless Entry System
Keyless entry is standard equipment. The CR-V uses Honda’s wave key design that has an
integrated transmitter in the key handle with lock, unlock and panic buttons. The key can also
raise and lower the windows
Engine Immobilizer
Complementing the keyless entry system is a standard engine-immobilizer system. A special
electronically coded key prevents the car from being started-even if a mechanical duplicate of the
key is used. A transponder, built into the key, signals the immobilizer control unit that the key is
genuine. If the car is hot-wired, or an unauthorized key is used, the engine will not start.
12V DC Accessory Outlets
The CR-V LX provides two 12V DC accessory outlets; one is located on the instrument panel’s
center stack and the other is located in the cargo area.. The CR-V EX and EX-L add an
additional accessory outlet on either the retractable center table or inside the center console.
U.V. Resistant Glass and Available Privacy Glass
The CR-V features glass that filters Ultra Violet (U.V.) light. This style of glass results in less
interior fade over time, lower cabin temperatures on hot days and more efficient interior cooling.
In addition to U.V. resistance, the EX and EX-L trim levels feature deep-tinted privacy glass on
the five most rearward windows.

Safety Overview
Honda’s mission for the CR-V is to provide an extraordinarily high level of safety that meets and
exceeds all current regulations and standards. These goals embrace Honda’s fundamental safety
concept called “Safety for Everyone.”
Specific Safety Targets include:







5-Star rating in NHTSA NCAP and SINCAP test procedures
“Good” ratings in Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) front offset and Side
Impact Crashworthiness Evaluation (SICE) and the seat/head restraint tests
New FMVSS 301 rear collision standards implemented by the federal government for the
2007 model year
Advanced control of intrusion into the passenger compartment during a side collision
with an SUV
Improved protection in the event of frontal collisions with larger vehicles
Enhanced crash compatibility with smaller vehicles in a car-to-car collision compared to
previous generation vehicles (see ACE Body Structure in Body section)
Advanced protection for pedestrians in event of a collision (see Body section)
All new 2007 model year vehicles are required to meet the latest federal crash-performance
regulations known as FMVSS 208 (frontal) and FMVSS 301 (rear) that phase in from September
2006.
Above and beyond these are key safety evaluation tests from NHTSA and the Insurance Institute
for Highway Safety (IIHS), which are often referenced by customers but not required by law. For
the CR-V, the engineering target was 5 Stars for the NHTSA tests and Good ratings for all IIHS
tests – the best results possible.
This includes voluntary improvements in the IIHS ratings test called SICE, which limits the
intrusiveness if hit by an SUV in a side collision. Finally, the CR-V adopts pedestrian head
protection measures that are above and beyond NHTSA standards, which currently do not
regulate this safety issue.
Advanced Dual Stage, Dual Threshold Front Driver’s and Front Passenger’s Airbags
The CR-V is equipped with dual-stage, dual-threshold supplemental restraint system (SRS)
airbags for the driver and front passenger. These airbags are designed to minimize the potential
for airbag injury while providing head and chest protection for the occupants in the event of a
frontal collision. This front airbag system features front passenger seat weight sensors and a
driver seat position sensor designed to further enhance occupant protection.
The CR-V's front airbags can deploy at one of two rates. Deployment of the driver's front airbag
takes into account the severity of the crash, whether or not the driver's seat belt is fastened and
the position of the driver's seat. During a lower speed collision, the airbag inflators are triggered
in sequence, resulting in overall airbag deployment with less initial force. The same sequence is
also utilized regardless of collision speed if the driver's seat is close to the full forward position.
2007 Honda CR-V
11
Interior
During a higher speed collision, if the driver's seat is far from the full frontal position, both
inflators operate simultaneously for full, immediate inflation. Airbag deployment on the front
passenger's airbag is regulated by crash severity, seatbelt usage as well as the weight of the
occupant. Sensors under the seat gauge occupant weight and if the total weight on the passenger
seat is less than the NHTSA-specified MVSS specifications, the airbag system will not deploy,
minimizing the potential for injury to children. Similar to what is available on the driver's side,
the airbags are deployed at the speed appropriate to the speed and severity of the collision slower for lower speed collisions, more quickly for higher speeds.
The driver's airbag is located in the steering wheel hub and the passenger's airbag is located on
top of the dashboard. As in all Honda vehicles, the front passenger's airbag is designed to deploy
upward toward the windshield and then back toward the occupant. This provides a large cushion
to help protect the front passenger while reducing the likelihood of injury resulting from airbag
deployment.
Driver’s Front Side Airbag and Front Passenger’s Side Airbag with Occupant Position
Detection System
Every CR-V is equipped with seat-mounted front side airbags in the outboard sections of the
backrests to help safeguard the driver and front passenger from side-impact injury. An innovative
occupant position detection system is used to assure that the passenger's side airbag has a clear
path for deployment. In the event a child (or a small-statured adult) leans into the deployment
path of the side airbag, a seven-segment “antenna” system built within the backrest signals this
condition to an electronic control unit (ECU) also located within the seat. The ECU then
deactivates the side air bag from functioning and triggers a "SIDE AIRBAG OFF" indicator light
in the instrument cluster. After the front occupant returns to a normal seating position, the side
air bag module automatically resumes full-functional status.
Side Curtain Airbags
Both rows of occupants are protected by Honda’s Side Curtain Airbag with Rollover Sensor
system, which is standard equipment on all CR-V models. The side curtain airbags deploy from
modules in the roof in the event of a sufficient side impact, providing a significant level of head
protection in the window area. In the unlikely event of a rollover, a roll rate sensor and multiple
G sensors determine the rate of roll and deploy the side curtain airbags accordingly.
Like the other airbag systems in the CR-V, the side curtain system utilizes multiple sensors to
determine the most appropriate timing of deployment of the airbags in the event of a rollover. To
provide the optimal level of protection for CR-V occupants, extensive testing was performed to
determine the most appropriate timing of deployment in the event of a rollover. The system uses
algorithms to continually evaluate the situation and determines whether a rollover is imminent.
The system responds to many types of rollover “events” drivers could potentially encounter
including the “curb trip rollover” which as its name suggests, results when one side of the
vehicle hits a curb or like object; the “soil trip rollover” which can result when one side of the
vehicles suddenly comes into contact with a different surface type, often involving a slight
elevation change; and the “screw rollover.” This type of rollover is usually the steepest and
fastest of the rollovers whereby the vehicle comes upon a sharp angle such as an embankment.
2007 Honda CR-V
12
Interior
The roll rate sensor and multiple G sensors determine the “scenario” and calculate the angle of
roll and the speed of the vehicle in order to deploy the airbags at the correct stage for optimum
protection. In the case of a rollover, the side curtain airbags on both sides of the vehicle will
deploy. The airbags maintain full inflation for approximately three seconds after inflation to
allow for the increased time duration of a rollover accident. However, in the event of a sufficient
side impact that does not result in a rollover, only the airbags on the impacted side of the vehicle
will deploy.
Active Front Seat Head Restraints
An innovative front seat active head restraint system is used that enhances the seat’s ability to
minimize the potential for neck injury from rear end collisions. The ability to manage rear
collision forces to be relatively equal on the head, neck and spine is a key component to
minimizing injuries. In the event of a rear collision, a person’s body would be pushed against the
seatback. The pressure from the seatback is transmitted mechanically from the lumbar plate via
links that push the head restraint upward and forward to comparatively equalize the forces acting
on the head, neck and spine at the same time as the collision.
Front Seatbelts with Pretensioners and Load Limiters
Both front seat belts have seat belt pretensioners and load limiters that work together to help
protect the driver and front passenger in a collision. The components work automatically in a 1-2
sequence. In the first few milliseconds of a collision, the pretensioners automatically tighten the
front seat belts. Research has shown that seat belts that are snugly secured around the occupants
provide better protection. If the deceleration forces rise above a predetermined threshold, the
load limiter releases a small length of seatbelt webbing to reduce the pressure on the occupant in
a controlled manner. This helps reduce the injuries that seatbelts can cause in a severe high-speed
collision.
LATCH System (Lower Anchors and Tethers for CHildren)
The 2007 CR-V includes a LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tethers for CHildren) child-seat
mounting system for all rear seat positions, allowing two outboard child seats to be installed or
one center child seat to be installed. LATCH features built-in lower anchors and ready-to-use
tether attachment points that allow compatible child safety seats to be installed without using the
vehicle's seat belt system. Additionally, the LATCH system simplifies child seat installation
when an owner installs a LATCH-compatible child seat.
