Acura MDX Adaptive Cruise Control with Low Speed Follow 2016 SUV Specification

The Acura MDX 2016 SUV is equipped with an advanced Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) system that incorporates Low Speed Follow (LSF) technology, enhancing both driver convenience and safety. This sophisticated ACC system utilizes radar and camera sensors to monitor the distance between the MDX and the vehicle ahead, automatically adjusting the cruising speed to maintain a pre-set following interval. The innovative Low Speed Follow function extends the capabilities of traditional ACC by enabling the vehicle to come to a complete stop when traffic halts and resume driving when traffic flow restarts, all without driver intervention.

The ACC with LSF system operates within a speed range of approximately 0 to 90 mph, making it versatile for various driving conditions, from highway cruising to stop-and-go city traffic. The system is designed to reduce driver fatigue and improve safety by maintaining a consistent following distance, which can be adjusted through multiple settings according to driver preference. Integration with the Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS) further enhances safety by providing automatic braking assistance in potential frontal collision scenarios.

The user interface for the ACC with LSF is seamlessly integrated into the MDX's instrument cluster, providing intuitive controls and clear visual indicators. Drivers can activate the system via steering wheel-mounted buttons, allowing for easy adjustments without taking their hands off the wheel. Additionally, the system includes fail-safes and alerts to ensure that the driver remains engaged and can take control when necessary.

Overall, the Adaptive Cruise Control with Low Speed Follow in the 2016 Acura MDX represents a blend of cutting-edge technology and practical functionality, aimed at delivering a smoother, safer, and more comfortable driving experience.
