Acura’s RDX SUV is equipped with an advanced Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) system designed to enhance driving comfort and safety. This system automatically adjusts your vehicle’s speed to maintain a safe following distance from the car ahead, reducing the need for constant speed adjustments during highway driving.

How the Adaptive Cruise Control System Works

The ACC uses radar and cameras to monitor traffic conditions. When activated, it maintains a preset speed but will slow down or accelerate to keep a consistent gap between your RDX and the vehicle in front. If traffic stops completely, the system can bring the car to a full stop and resume movement when traffic flows again.

Key Features to Remember

  • Distance Settings: Drivers can choose from multiple following distances to suit their comfort level and traffic conditions.
  • Automatic Braking and Acceleration: The system smoothly adjusts speed, aiding in reducing driver fatigue on long trips.
  • Works in Conjunction with Lane Keeping Assist: Enhances overall driver assistance by keeping the vehicle centered in its lane.

While the ACC system significantly improves convenience, it is important for drivers to remain attentive. The system is a driver aid, not a replacement for active driving. Always be prepared to take control when necessary.
