It does this through preventative action in the form of AcuraWatch™. This suite of driver-assisting technologies is designed to pick up on any issues that you may miss on the road. It’ll send visual and/or audible warnings and can even step in to take action if you’re unable to do so in time. Here are some of the features included in the AcuraWatch™ safety suite: • Collision Mitigation Braking System™ (CMBS™): If you get too close to a car or other object, the word “Brake” will flash on your Multi-Information Display. If you don’t hit the brakes in time, CMBS™ will do so for you. • Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC): ACC will make sure to keep you at a safe distance from the vehicle in front of you. If traffic starts to slow down, this system will slow your vehicle down to maintain a preset distance. • Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS): This feature uses a forward-facing camera to determine when you’re no longer in the center of your lane. If you begin to drift without signaling, LKAS will send an alert and use gentle steering corrections to guide you back into your lane. With these safety systems on your side, you can have great peace of mind on the road.
