Acura ILX Lane Keeping Assist System 2017 Sedan Specification

The Acura ILX 2017 Sedan is equipped with an advanced Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS) designed to enhance driver safety and comfort. This sophisticated system utilizes a forward-facing camera mounted behind the rearview mirror to detect lane markings on the road. Operating at speeds between 45 and 90 miles per hour, the LKAS continuously monitors the vehicle's position within the lane. When it senses that the vehicle is unintentionally drifting out of its lane without signaling, it provides gentle steering inputs to guide the car back to the center of the lane.

The LKAS is part of the AcuraWatch suite of safety and driver-assistive technologies, which also includes Adaptive Cruise Control and Collision Mitigation Braking System, working in tandem to provide a comprehensive safety net for the driver. The system's intuitive interface is integrated within the multi-information display on the dashboard, where it shows real-time lane information and alerts.

For optimal performance, the LKAS relies on clearly visible lane markings and may be less effective in poor weather conditions, such as heavy rain or snow, or on roads without distinct lane lines. The system is designed to assist rather than replace the driver, who remains responsible for steering and maintaining control of the vehicle.

Overall, the Acura ILX 2017 Sedan's Lane Keeping Assist System is a valuable feature that enhances driving confidence by reducing the risk of unintentional lane departures and promoting safer driving practices.

Acura ILX Lane Keeping Assist System 2017 Sedan F.A.Q.

How do I activate the Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS) on my 2017 Acura ILX?

To activate the LKAS, press the MAIN button on the steering wheel. Then press the LKAS button. The system will activate once lane markings are detected.

Why is the LKAS not detecting the lanes properly?

The LKAS may not detect lanes properly due to poor visibility, worn lane markings, or if the vehicle is traveling at speeds below 45 mph. Ensure the windshield is clean and the camera lens is unobstructed.

What should I do if the LKAS warning light comes on?

If the LKAS warning light is illuminated, it may indicate a malfunction. Try restarting the vehicle. If the problem persists, consult your Acura dealer for a diagnostic check.

Can I rely solely on the LKAS for steering my vehicle?

No, the LKAS is a driver-assist feature and should not be relied upon solely for steering. Always maintain control of the vehicle and be prepared to take over if necessary.

Does the LKAS work in all weather conditions?

The LKAS may not function optimally in adverse weather conditions such as heavy rain, fog, or snow. It relies on clear lane markings for proper operation.

How can I turn off the Lane Keeping Assist System?

To turn off the LKAS, press the LKAS button on the steering wheel. The LKAS indicator will turn off, indicating that the system is deactivated.

Is the LKAS compatible with all types of roads?

The LKAS is designed for use on highways and well-marked roads. It may not perform well on roads with poor or missing lane markings, sharp curves, or narrow lanes.

What maintenance does the LKAS require?

The LKAS itself requires minimal maintenance. However, ensure that the camera lens is clean and free of obstructions, and keep the windshield clean for optimal performance.

How do I know if the LKAS is engaged?

When the LKAS is engaged, the LKAS indicator on the instrument panel will illuminate. Additionally, the lane lines on the display will change color when the system is actively providing steering assistance.

Can the LKAS be customized to suit my driving preferences?

While the LKAS settings are generally fixed, you can adjust the sensitivity and alerts through the vehicle’s settings menu. Refer to your owner’s manual for detailed instructions.
