Acura ILX Safety Equipment 2019 Sedan Specification

The 2019 Acura ILX Sedan is equipped with an array of advanced safety features designed to provide robust protection and enhance driver confidence. The vehicle includes AcuraWatch™, a comprehensive suite of safety and driver-assistive technologies. Central to AcuraWatch™ is the Collision Mitigation Braking System™ (CMBS™), which uses a forward-facing camera and radar to detect potential collisions and apply the brakes if necessary. The Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) maintains a set speed and following distance, reducing driver fatigue on long trips. Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS) and Road Departure Mitigation (RDM) work together to ensure the vehicle stays centered in its lane and alerts the driver if the car unintentionally drifts off the road.

Additionally, the ILX features a Multi-View Rear Camera with dynamic guidelines, aiding in safer and more precise parking maneuvers. The Vehicle Stability Assist™ (VSA®) with traction control helps maintain stability and grip in various driving conditions. The Advanced Compatibility Engineering™ (ACE™) body structure enhances occupant protection in frontal collisions by distributing crash energy more evenly throughout the front of the vehicle.

Standard airbags include front, front side, and side curtain airbags with a rollover sensor. The Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) alerts the driver of significant changes in tire pressure, promoting safer driving conditions. LED Daytime Running Lights (DRL) and Jewel Eye® LED headlights ensure better visibility during both day and night driving.

The 2019 Acura ILX Sedan's safety features underscore Acura's commitment to delivering innovative technologies that prioritize the safety and well-being of its passengers.
