Acura ILX Rear Cross Traffic Monitor 2019 Sedan Specification

The 2019 Acura ILX Sedan is equipped with an advanced Rear Cross Traffic Monitor that enhances driver awareness and safety during reversing maneuvers. This system utilizes radar sensors mounted on the rear corners of the vehicle to detect approaching vehicles from either side, providing an additional layer of security in situations where rear visibility may be compromised.

When the driver engages the reverse gear, the Rear Cross Traffic Monitor activates, continuously scanning the area behind the vehicle. If an approaching vehicle is detected, the system issues visual and auditory alerts to the driver, ensuring timely awareness of potential hazards. The visual alerts are displayed on the Multi-Information Display (MID) located in the instrument cluster, while the auditory alerts are emitted from the vehicle’s audio system.

The radar sensors employed by the Rear Cross Traffic Monitor operate within a specified range and are capable of detecting vehicles at varying speeds, making it effective in a variety of parking and reversing scenarios. The system is particularly useful in crowded parking lots, residential driveways, and areas with heavy pedestrian traffic, where the risk of collision is heightened.

Integration with the vehicle's existing safety systems, such as the rearview camera and parking sensors, ensures comprehensive coverage and seamless operation. The 2019 Acura ILX's Rear Cross Traffic Monitor is a testament to Acura's commitment to combining cutting-edge technology with practical functionality, ultimately providing drivers with greater confidence and peace of mind while reversing.
