Nov 12, 2018

The 2018 Honda Odyssey’s Intelligent Traction Management System is a breakthrough in ride technology. It adjusts and reorients vehicle handling to handle various driving surfaces. Simply click the Mode button and select one of four modes, and you will have peace of mind, knowing that your 2018 Odyssey can handle anything you choose to drive it over.

Four Modes

The Intelligent Traction Management System comes with four modes on all-wheel-drive vehicles: normal, snow, mud, and sand. Two-wheel-drive models include both normal and snow. Here’s a look at what each mode offers.

Normal: This mode is used most of the time, yielding balanced driving performance on most surfaces.
Snow: This mode helps improve performance in winter weather, on slippery, snowy, or icy roadways.
Mud: Use this mode when driving off-road on a camping trip or parking off-pavement at the weekly soccer practice. The added traction makes sure you won’t get stuck.
Sand: Employ this mode when driving on soft or sandy roads or off-road pathways.

Additional Stability and Traction Features

The Odyssey’s Intelligent Traction Management System adds to an already robust system designed to deliver a safe and smooth ride. Certain trims include the Collision Mitigation Braking System, which automatically brings the Odyssey to a stop when it senses an impending frontal collision. The adaptive cruise control likewise adds safety to the smooth comfort of cruise control by staying at a set following interval behind detected vehicles when out on the open road.

With these traction and performance features, the 2018 Honda Odyssey just might be the right vehicle for you.
