Honda

Odyssey

A benchmark in the automotive industry, the Odysseyis a tribute to Honda ingenuity. Its innovative designand class-leading safety are just part of whatmakes this minivan an original. The engine ispowerful and fuel-effıcient.* The Odysseyoffers advanced technology in comfort andversatility. It’s big enough tocomfortably seat seven. Itsfırst-of-its-kind Magic Seat,™

dual sliding doors and removable second-row seats are uniquely user-friendly. While a host of amenitiesand an available Honda Satellite-Linked Navigation System™

set the Odyssey apart from all the rest. And, like no other mini-van, it’s able to deliver Honda reliability, durability and quality.

Take a vacation from the ordinary.

The Odyssey.

Odyssey EX shown in Mesa Beige Metallic.

Two ways to plan your getaway.

ODYSSEY LX: The LX offers a 210-horsepower,† 24-valve, VTEC™

V-6 engine that meets the Low-Emission Vehicle (LEV) standard for

light trucks. A quadruple 5-star safety rating with dual front airbags

(SRS), 3-point seat belts and head restraints at all seating positions.

Independent front and rear suspension, Traction Control System

(TCS) and an anti-lock braking system (ABS). Dual sliding doors,

an AM/FM stereo cassette with four speakers, front and rear air

conditioning, an Immobilizer Theft-Deterrent System, cruise control

and power windows, mirrors and door locks.

ODYSSEY EX: There’s even more to enjoy in the EX. Like dual power

sliding doors, a driver’s seat with 8-way power adjustment, the

available Honda Satellite-Linked Navigation System, the HomeLink®

remote system,** a security system with remote entry, an integrated

AM/FM stereo CD player with 6 speakers, automatic climate control,

steering wheel-mounted audio controls, alloy wheels, roof rails and

body-colored body side molding, mirrors and door handles.

Get away from it all, or bring it all along.Elbow room would be an understatement.

Odyssey EX shown in Mesa Beige Metallic.

The minivan has come a long way. Still, it

would be difficult to match the level of

ingenuity and convenience in an Odyssey.

For one thing, no other minivan offers you

instructions on how to get

you where you’re going.

The Honda Satellite-

Linked Navigation System,

available on the EX, uses global position-

ing satellites to pinpoint your location in

many parts of the U.S. The system can give

you“turn-by-turn” directions, through both

visual and voice guidance, to the many

places stored in its DVD-based memory

bank. Such as gas stations, airports, hotels,

restaurants, theaters and ATM machines in

metropolitan areas it covers.‡ In addition,

the system can direct you

to most residential and

business addresses, and

calculate the most efficient

route to take. Your destination either can

be selected from a simple “Yellow Pages”-

style directory or can be entered directly

on the touch-screen. Chances are, you’ll

wonder how you ever lived without one.

‡Only major streets, roads and highways are mapped outside these areas. See the vehicle’s navigation system owner’s manual for the current detailed coverage areas.

The Magic Seat folds and swings

back, disappearing into the deep

cargo well where it lies flush

with the cargo area floor. So you

can load up for a trip and still

have the seat along, just in case.

Odyssey LX shown in Dark Emerald Pearl.

When the third-row Magic Seat

isn’t being stored in the deep

cargo well, there’s a lot of room

behind the seat, 38.1 cubic feet to

be exact, for things like groceries.

With all the seats in, there’s room

for seven to relax in comfort. Slide

the removable second-row bucket

seats together to make a bench

seat or retract the third-row Magic

Seat for more cargo space.

The Odyssey presents you with real choices in mixing passengers and cargo. Even when

filled with a week’s luggage, or after a long day of shopping, the Odyssey comes across as a

true passenger’s vehicle. Seatbacks are adjustable. The EX model even has an 8-way power

adjustable driver’s seat for the ultimate in comfort. You’ll find legroom and headroom to

spare. For convenience, there are nine beverage holders, storage pockets, covered bins, even

a holder especially for your sunglasses. Front- and second-row seats can be moved forward

and back, and have fold-down armrests. Ergonomically speaking, the Odyssey is superior,

too. Gauges and controls are easy to read and reach. A sliding sun visor helps control glare

from outside. While inside, you can enjoy your favorite music on an AM/FM stereo cassette.

In the EX model you get a CD player with six speakers and audio controls that are mounted

on the steering wheel for easy access. You’ll even find 12-volt outlets and an Immobilizer

Theft-Deterrent System. As if all this weren’t enough, the Honda Odyssey has theater-style

seating to offer everyone a commanding view inside and out. So you won’t miss a thing.

The Odyssey was designed to

keep everyone happy. That’s why

all three rows have individual

map lights and adjustable air-

conditioning vents. The EX also

has automatic climate control.

The innovative retractable center

tray table between the front seats

can carry four beverages. There’s

also a sliding extension feature

that makes it easy for passengers

in the second row to use it too.

The HomeLink® remote system,

standard on the EX, lets you open

a garage door without a separate

opener. It can also activate two

other remote features, like a gate

and a lighting system.

The standard dual power sliding

doors on the EX make loading

and unloading a snap. With the

remote entry system, you can

open and close them from up

to 50 feet away. A feature you

will come to really appreciate.

Honda is, fırst and foremost, an engine-building company,driven by technical innovations and engineering excellence.As a result, we’ve raised the minivan standard by producing a vehicle that exceeds expectations in every aspect. Thegoal was to design one that would drive like a car, offeringsuperior performance and maneuverability, improved fuel

economy*and lower emissions. It would incorporate a highlevel of safety, be extremely versatile, and provide maximumcomfort for its driver and passengers. We succeeded inreaching our goal with forward thinking and cutting-edgetechnology while never forgetting the attributes we’ve builtour reputation on. Honda reliability, durability and quality.

At Honda, innovative engineering is a time-honored tradition.You can see it everywhere in

the Odyssey, where a legacy of advanced technology and safety features combine

to make it the segment-leading, versatile minivan you’ll want to take home with you.

The Odyssey’s standard Traction

Control System (TCS) enhances

traction and stability by using the

anti-lock brakes to automatically

reduce wheel spin when starting

off or driving on a slippery surface.

A 4-wheel anti-lock braking system (ABS)

with load-balancing Electronic Brake

Distribution (EBD) helps you retain steering

control even when maximum braking

pressure is being applied.

Variable valve timing and lift

electronic control (VTEC) allows

Odyssey’s V-6 engine to produce

strong low-end torque and smooth

power at all engine speeds. ICE

SNOWWATER

Odyssey EX shown in Dark Emerald Pearl.

The Odyssey brings Honda ingenuity to the minivan. Its 3.5 liter, 24-valve V-6 delivers 210 horse-

power† with the kind of fuel efficiency* and dependability that are unique to Honda vehicles.

Odyssey’s engine is made more responsive and fun to drive by VTEC (variable valve timing and

lift electronic control) technology for impressive low-end torque and high-rpm power, a 4-valve-

per-cylinder layout and PGM-FI fuel injection. In fact, over 90% of its torque is available at just

2000 rpm, and it meets California’s stringent Low-Emission Vehicle (LEV) standard for light

trucks. And the first tune-up is not due for 105,000 miles.‡ The 4-speed automatic transmission

uses the Grade Logic Control System to sense when the Odyssey is on an incline, then adjusts

the shift points to avoid that “searching up and down” feeling. A front stabilizer bar helps

reduce body roll during cornering, a 4-wheel independent suspension helps to smooth out the

ride, and electronically controlled engine mounts help to reduce vibration in the cabin.Take a boat or travel trailer with you

on your next trip. The Odyssey will

tow a maximum of 3,500 pounds††

when properly equipped.

Odyssey’s four-wheel independent

suspension (front strut/rear double

wishbone) helps provide a smooth

ride, refined handling and great

maneuverability on the road.

‡Does not apply to fluid and filter changes. See owner’s manual for details.

The 2001 Odyssey has been awarded a quadruple 5-star‡ safety rating – the highest possible

rating– by the National Highway and Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). A 5-star rating

means the Odyssey met the highest criteria for frontal- and side-impact protection –

specifically, in its ability to help minimize injuries to you and your passengers in the event of

a collision. A sophisticated four-ring body shell construction is designed to help redirect

frontal- or side-impact energy into floor members and lower sills. Inside you’ll discover 3-point

seat belts at all seven seating positions and dual-stage driver’s and front passenger’s airbags

(SRS).‡‡ The second-row LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children) system and the

third-row child-seat tether anchor can help to ensure correct installation of child seats.

Odyssey’s 4-wheel anti-lock braking system (ABS) and an Electronic Brake Distribution

(EBD) system help you to retain steering control under hard braking. On slippery surfaces,

a standard Traction Control System (TCS) helps to keep wheelspin to a minimum.

‡ NHTSA frontal crash test conducted in March of 1999. Side crash test conducted in March of 2000. Results useful for comparison with vehicles within 500 lbs. total weight.

‡‡ Honda reminds you and your passengers to always buckle up.

� � � � � 5-star safety rating

Odyssey has been awarded 5-star

ratings in testing for both frontal-

and side-impact collisions by the

NHTSA (National Highway and

Traffic Safety Administration).

A security system with remote

entry is standard on the EX and

an available accessory on the LX.

It will also operate the Odyssey’s

power side doors (EX model)

from a distance of up to 50 feet.

Front and rear crush zones, a

four-ring safety shell body design

and steel side-impact door beams

are all engineered to help provide

the Odyssey with its 5-star level

of occupant protection.

Dual-stage front airbags (SRS)

and Odyssey’s 3-point seat belts

help reduce the severity of injury

to front occupants in a moderate-

to-severe frontal collision.

The more a minivan does for you, the more you can do.

For years, Honda has led the industry in

reducing the impact automobiles have on

the environment. Proving

that it can be done with little sacrifıce to

performance. In 1975, we introduced the

innovative Civic CVCC, the fırst car to

pass the federal Clean Air

Act standards without the

useof a catalytic converter.

Ever since, our engineers

have pushed the limits of

design. When California’s

standards for Low-,Ultra-

Low- and Super Ultra-Low-Emission

Vehicles (LEV, ULEV and SULEV) were

introduced over the past seven years, a

Honda was the fırst gasoline-powered car

to meet each one. In fact, we have met

these government standards before they

were mandatory. While all Civics are now

ULEV or better, every Honda does its

part. From the natural-gas Civic GX, the

cleanest internal combustion production-

engine vehicle ever built, to the LEV-rated

240-hp S2000 roadster. Wıth our track

record, it’s only fıtting that

we would

be the fırst to introduce a

gasoline-electric-powered

hybrid car in the United

States: the Insight. This

ultra-low-emissionvehicle

was the fırst car to receive the Excellence

in Environmental Engineering Award

from the Sierra Club. Honda will continue

to lead the way in providing you

with some of the most advanced

and cleanest vehicles on the road today.
