The 2020 Acura TLX comes equipped with AcuraWatch, a suite of advanced safety and driver-assistive technologies designed to enhance your driving experience. Understanding these features and knowing how to properly calibrate them ensures optimal performance and safety on the road.

Key AcuraWatch Features on the 2020 TLX

  • Collision Mitigation Braking System™ (CMBS™): Helps detect and reduce the severity of frontal collisions.
  • Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC): Maintains a set following interval behind detected vehicles for highway driving ease.
  • Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS): Helps keep the vehicle centered in its lane.
  • Road Departure Mitigation (RDM): Alerts and assists when the vehicle is about to leave the roadway.

How to Calibrate AcuraWatch Systems

Proper calibration of AcuraWatch sensors is essential after windshield replacement, collision repairs, or when system warnings appear. Calibration can be performed through two main methods:

  1. Static Calibration: This involves positioning your vehicle on a level surface with specific reference markers, following manufacturer instructions to activate calibration.
  2. Dynamic Calibration: Requires driving the vehicle under certain conditions, such as straight roads and specific speeds, to allow sensors to recalibrate automatically.

It is recommended to have calibration done by an authorized Acura dealer or a qualified technician to ensure all sensors function correctly and maintain your vehicle’s safety features.
