Acura ILX Road Departure Mitigation System 2020 Sedan Specification

The Acura ILX 2020 Sedan features an advanced Road Departure Mitigation (RDM) System designed to enhance driver safety and reduce the risk of unintentional lane departures. This sophisticated system utilizes a forward-facing camera mounted behind the rearview mirror to continuously monitor lane markings on the road. When the system detects that the vehicle is unintentionally drifting out of its lane without the use of a turn signal, it provides visual and auditory alerts to the driver. If corrective action is not taken, the RDM system can provide steering assistance to help guide the vehicle back into its lane. Additionally, the system can apply braking force to prevent the vehicle from leaving the roadway entirely. The integration of the Road Departure Mitigation System in the Acura ILX 2020 underscores Acura's commitment to leveraging cutting-edge technology to enhance vehicle safety and driver confidence. This system operates effectively across a range of driving conditions, including highways and city streets, improving overall vehicle safety and reducing the likelihood of accidents caused by driver inattention or drowsiness. The RDM system, part of the AcuraWatch suite of safety and driver-assistive technologies, reflects a holistic approach to automotive safety, combining advanced sensor technology, real-time data processing, and active intervention capabilities to protect both occupants and other road users.
