Acura ILX Lane Keeping Assist System 2019 Sedan Specification

The 2019 Acura ILX Sedan features an advanced Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS) designed to enhance driving safety and convenience. This sophisticated system utilizes a forward-facing camera mounted at the top of the windshield to detect lane markings on the road. By continuously monitoring the vehicle's position relative to these lane boundaries, the LKAS can provide subtle steering inputs to help keep the car centered within its lane.

The system operates within a speed range of approximately 45 to 90 mph, making it particularly useful for highway driving. When the LKAS is active, it works in tandem with the vehicle's adaptive cruise control, offering a more cohesive driving experience. The driver is alerted through visual and tactile feedback if the system detects an unintended lane departure without signaling, prompting corrective action to maintain lane discipline.

In addition to steering assistance, the LKAS features a comprehensive user interface integrated into the vehicle’s multi-information display. This interface provides real-time feedback on the system's status and lane detection capabilities. The system can be easily activated or deactivated via a dedicated button on the steering wheel, allowing drivers to engage or disengage the feature as needed.

Engineered to complement the driver's inputs rather than override them, the Acura ILX's Lane Keeping Assist System promotes a safer driving environment by reducing the likelihood of unintentional lane departures. This system is part of Acura's broader suite of advanced safety and driver-assistive technologies, which collectively aim to enhance vehicle safety and driver confidence on the road.

How do I activate the Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS) in my 2019 Acura ILX?

To activate the LKAS, press the MAIN button on the steering wheel. Then, press the LKAS button. Ensure that the system recognizes the lane markings by checking for the lane lines on the instrument panel.

What does the LKAS indicator mean when it turns yellow?

A yellow LKAS indicator suggests that the system has detected an issue, such as difficulty recognizing the lane markings. Ensure the windshield is clean and free from obstructions.

Can the Lane Keeping Assist System operate in all weather conditions?

LKAS may not function optimally in adverse weather conditions like heavy rain, fog, or snow, as it relies on clear lane markings. Always be prepared to take control of the vehicle.

What should I do if the LKAS does not detect lane markings?

Ensure that the camera sensor located near the rearview mirror is clean and unobstructed. If the issue persists, have the system checked by an authorized dealer.

How do I disable the Lane Keeping Assist System?

To disable LKAS, simply press the LKAS button on the steering wheel again. The indicator will turn off, confirming the system is deactivated.

Does the LKAS work at all speeds?

LKAS is designed to function at speeds between 45 mph and 90 mph, provided that the lane markings are clearly visible.

How can I maintain the LKAS sensor for optimal performance?

Routinely clean the camera sensor area on the windshield and ensure it is free from dust, ice, or any obstructions. Regular maintenance checks are recommended.

Can LKAS be used on winding roads?

While LKAS can assist on various road types, it may not perform optimally on sharply winding roads. Drivers should always be ready to take control of the vehicle.

What is the purpose of the LKAS in the Acura ILX?

LKAS is designed to assist the driver in maintaining the vehicle's position within a detected lane by providing gentle steering inputs. It enhances driving comfort and safety.

Why does the LKAS sometimes deactivate automatically?

Automatic deactivation can occur if lane markings become unclear, the vehicle speed drops below operational parameters, or if the driver does not maintain control of the steering wheel.
