2014 MDX CONTENTS MADE FOR MANKIND THE 2014 MDX 2014 RLX THE IMPORTANCE OF A FIRST IMPRESSION CANNOT BE OVERSTATED 2014 RLX BUT OPENING UP BUILDS A DEEPER CONNECTION Between people, it’s called chemistry. That intangible, instinctive rapport. Chemistry could also describe the uncanny sense that the RLX was made just for you. Open it up. Step inside. You’ll find it almost finishes your sentences for you. 2014 RLX EXTERIOR / PERFORMANCE INTERIOR / TECHNOLOGY SAFETY / ACCESSORIES / SPECS RLX LED WARNING 05 LIGHTS 14/15 KEYLESS ENTRY 21 SYSTEMS 07 AERODYNAMICS ADVANCED INTERIOR 22 SAFETY 08 FEATURES 16 COLOR SELECTOR RLX shown with Advance Package and Accessories 23 CONSUMER IMPRESSIONS TOUCHSCREEN 09/10 17 CONTROLS DRIVER ASSISTS 24 ® ACCESSORIES 18 AcuraLink NEXT GENERATION TM PRECISION ALL-WHEEL STEER VEHICLE SPECIFICATIONS 11 AUDIO 25 3.5L I-VTEC® SYSTEMS 19 V6 ENGINE 12 SHOPPING 26 TOOLS 13 ROAD NOISE REDUCTION 20 INTERIOR COLORS 2014 RLX LIGHTING DESIGNED TO REPRODUCE SUNLIGHT Human eyes are most comfortable with a color temperature of 6,500° Kelvin—or the color of daylight. The RLX’s industry-first headlights shine brighter, whiter, wider and further, allowing the driver to see farther into the future. 2014 RLX LIGHTING BRILLIANT JEWEL EYE™ LED HEADLIGHTS Intense and reflective even in day- time, Jewel Eye™ headlights feature eight LED bulbs radiating through 16 precisely focused lenses. Engage the LED high beams, and you’ll think the sun is out and the moon is full. 2014 RLX EXTERIOR EVER NOTICE HOW MUCH MILEAGE YOU GET OUT OF A WHISPER Over the course of its development, the RLX made hundreds of trips to the wind tunnel. By analyzing driving-speed winds, our engineers smoothed airflow, softened noise, and increased fuel efficiency to an EPA-rated 31 highway mpg.2 In the process, they created one of the most aerodynamic sedans on the road. 2014 RLX COLOR SOME DECISIONS AREN’T BLACK OR WHITE BELLANOVA WHITE SILVER MOON FORGED SILVER GILDED PEWTER GRAPHITE LUSTER POMEGRANITE CRYSTAL BLACK PEARL METALLIC METALLIC METALLIC PEARL PEARL 2014 RLX PERFORMANCE CONTENTS SOMEONE TO WATCH OVER YOU Imagine having another set of eyes, a second pair of hands and someone who’s always watching your back—and your front. State-of-the-art driver aids let the RLX warn you of vehicles detected in your blind spot, steer you back into a detected lane, maintain a set following distance and even apply the brakes. These assists are quite simply, a driver’s best friend. BLIND SPOT INFORMATION SYSTEM Radar technology on both rear quarter panels constantly monitors blind spot areas. It activates a warning light near the side mirror when a vehicle is detected. If the turn signal is engaged with a vehicle in the blind spot, the light flashes and an audible warning sounds. ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL WITH LOW-SPEED FOLLOW Utilizing a sophisticated radar unit, Adaptive Cruise Control58 creates a buffer zone in front of the car. Set the speed, then set the distance you wish to follow the car detected ahead. The RLX will maintain that interval—up to and including a full stop. Now you can enjoy cruise control in a broader range of driving environments. 2014 RLX PERFORMANCE NOT EVERYONE STICKS TO THE STRAIGHT AND NARROW LANE KEEPING ASSIST SYSTEM Momentarily distracted, you begin to drift out of your lane. It happens to every driver occasionally. The Lane Keeping Assist System59 (LKAS) can sound an audible warning and help steer you back into your detected lane. 2014 RLX PERFORMANCE WHEN LIFE THROWS A CURVE OVERACHIEVERS PIVOT In the real world, you can’t count on a banked curve to help keep your line. The solution is the world’s first Precision All-Wheel Steer (P-AWS) system, which allows each rear wheel to independently adjust its toe angle to achieve exceptional stability in turns. Combined with Agile Handling Assist, Acura brings new meaning to cornering and lane changes. One good turn really does deserve another. 2014 RLX PERFORMANCE CONTENTS THE TRUE MARK OF LEADERSHIP IS USING POWER WISELY The RLX engine is paired with a perfectly executed 6-speed Sequential BRAKE SYSTEMS SportShift automatic transmission.

Active Sound Control generates sound waves that cancel out unwanted engine noise. Acoustic windshield and door glass reduces wind noise. Even noise-dampening wheels play a part in keeping the sound of the road outside where it belongs. 2014 RLX INTERIOR YOUR PREFERENCES ARE PRIORITY No two RLX key fobs are alike. Each one is a reflection of its owner. The RLX knows the people you reach out to most, the radio stations that fuel your commute, the temperature that lets you keep your cool, and the seat position that has your back. It even knows where you indulge your sushi cravings and gelato jaunts. 2014 RLX INTERIOR IT’S NICE TO BE RECOGNIZED FOR YOUR WORK By the time you sit down, the seat, side mirrors, steering wheel—even the audio system, climate controls and navigation system—will all have conformed to your preferences.
