The 2023 Acura ILX comes equipped with AcuraWatch, a comprehensive suite of advanced safety and driver-assistive technologies designed to enhance both safety and driving confidence. AcuraWatch integrates several key features that work together to help prevent accidents and reduce the severity of collisions.
Core AcuraWatch Safety Features
- Collision Mitigation Braking System™ (CMBS™): This system uses radar and camera technology to detect vehicles ahead and can automatically apply the brakes to reduce the likelihood or severity of a frontal impact.
- Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with Low-Speed Follow: ACC maintains a set speed while keeping a safe distance from the vehicle in front, even in stop-and-go traffic, enhancing comfort during long drives.
- Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS): LKAS helps keep the ILX centered in its lane by making subtle steering adjustments when lane departure is detected without signaling.
- Road Departure Mitigation System (RDM): RDM alerts the driver if the vehicle is about to leave the road and can provide steering assistance to help keep the vehicle on the pavement.
- Traffic Sign Recognition (TSR): TSR identifies common road signs and displays them on the driver’s display, keeping important information within easy view.
Together, these features promote safer driving by proactively monitoring the road and assisting the driver in critical situations. The AcuraWatch suite in the 2023 ILX not only helps protect occupants but also contributes to a more relaxed driving experience.
