The Acura ILX is equipped with AcuraWatch, a suite of advanced safety and driver-assistive technologies designed to enhance your driving experience and provide peace of mind on the road. Understanding these features can help every owner make the most of their vehicle's safety capabilities.

Key AcuraWatch Features on the ILX

  • Collision Mitigation Braking System™ (CMBS™): Detects potential frontal collisions and can apply brakes automatically to reduce the severity or avoid impact.
  • Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC): Maintains a set following interval behind detected vehicles for a more relaxed highway driving experience.
  • Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS): Helps keep the vehicle centered in its lane by providing gentle steering inputs.
  • Road Departure Mitigation System (RDM): Alerts drivers if they cross detected lanes without signaling and can provide steering assistance to prevent unintended lane departure.
  • Traffic Sign Recognition (TSR): Identifies and displays important traffic signs to keep drivers informed and aware.

These technologies work together to reduce the risk of accidents and improve overall road safety. AcuraWatch is designed to assist—not replace—the driver's attention and control, so staying alert remains essential.
