The Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) system on the 2022 Acura RDX is designed to enhance your driving experience by maintaining a safe distance from vehicles ahead. However, after certain repairs or windshield replacements, recalibrating the ACC system is essential to ensure it functions accurately and safely.

When to Calibrate the Adaptive Cruise Control System

  • After windshield replacement or repair
  • Following front-end collision repairs
  • If the ACC system warning light appears on the dashboard
  • When the system doesn't maintain proper following distance

Steps to Calibrate the ACC System on Your 2022 Acura RDX

  1. Prepare the Vehicle: Park your vehicle on a flat, open surface with clear road markings and no obstructions.
  2. Turn on the Ignition: Switch the ignition to the ON position without starting the engine.
  3. Access Calibration Mode: Use the vehicle’s settings menu on the multi-information display to select the ACC calibration option.
  4. Follow On-Screen Instructions: Drive at a steady speed (usually around 25 mph) on a straight road to allow the system to detect lane markings and vehicles ahead.
  5. Complete Calibration: Once the system confirms successful calibration, the warning light or message will turn off.

If you encounter difficulties or the calibration cannot be completed, it's recommended to visit an authorized Acura service center. Proper calibration ensures your Adaptive Cruise Control system operates safely and reliably, contributing to a more confident driving experience.
