Acura ILX Safety Equipment 2020 Sedan Specification

The 2020 Acura ILX Sedan is equipped with a comprehensive suite of safety features designed to provide optimal protection and enhance driver confidence. The sedan integrates AcuraWatch™, a suite of advanced safety and driver-assistive technologies that come standard across all trims. Key features include Collision Mitigation Braking System™ (CMBS™), which helps reduce the likelihood of frontal impacts by automatically applying the brakes when a potential collision is detected. The Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) maintains a set following interval from the vehicle ahead, reducing the need for manual speed adjustments during highway driving.

The Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS) and Road Departure Mitigation (RDM) work in tandem to keep the vehicle centered in its lane and provide corrective steering if unintentional lane departure is detected. The Forward Collision Warning (FCW) system alerts the driver to an impending collision with a vehicle detected ahead, while the Lane Departure Warning (LDW) system notifies the driver of unintentional drifting out of a detected lane without signaling.

Moreover, the ILX features a multi-angle rearview camera with guidelines to assist with parking and reversing maneuvers. The sedan's body structure is built using Acura's Advanced Compatibility Engineering™ (ACE™) design, which enhances occupant protection during front-end collisions. The vehicle is also equipped with an array of airbags, including front, front side, and side curtain airbags, to provide comprehensive impact protection.

Additional standard safety features include Vehicle Stability Assist™ (VSA®) with traction control, anti-lock braking system (ABS), and electronic brake distribution (EBD), all of which contribute to maintaining vehicle control in various driving conditions. The Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) with location and pressure indicators adds another layer of safety by alerting the driver to significant changes in tire pressure. Overall, the 2020 Acura ILX Sedan's safety equipment is meticulously designed to deliver an exceptional level of protection and driver assistance.
