Acura MDX Sport Hybrid Lane Keeping Assist System 2019 SUV Specification

The Acura MDX Sport Hybrid 2019 SUV features an advanced Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS) designed to enhance driver safety and convenience. This system utilizes a monocular camera mounted behind the rearview mirror to monitor road markings and detect lane boundaries. When activated, the LKAS can provide subtle steering inputs to help keep the vehicle centered within the detected lane, reducing driver fatigue on long journeys and enhancing overall driving precision.

Operating at speeds between 45 and 90 mph, the LKAS is particularly useful during highway driving. It works in conjunction with the vehicle's Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) to maintain both lane position and a safe following distance from the vehicle ahead. The system is calibrated to function optimally on well-marked roads and may require driver intervention in complex driving scenarios or poor weather conditions.

The LKAS interface is integrated into the vehicle's multi-information display, providing visual alerts and status updates. If the system detects that the vehicle is drifting out of its lane without signaling, it will issue both visual and auditory warnings to prompt corrective action. Additionally, if the driver does not respond to these alerts, the LKAS can apply mild corrective steering torque to guide the vehicle back into the lane.

To ensure driver control and safety, the LKAS can be overridden by manual steering inputs at any time. The system is part of Acura's commitment to delivering sophisticated safety technologies that support a more confident driving experience while maintaining the highest standards of performance and reliability. This advanced driver-assist feature underscores the Acura MDX Sport Hybrid 2019's position as a leading choice in the luxury SUV market.

Acura MDX Sport Hybrid Lane Keeping Assist System 2019 SUV F.A.Q.

How do I activate the Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS) in my 2019 Acura MDX Sport Hybrid?

To activate the Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS), press the MAIN button on the steering wheel to enable the system. Then, press the LKAS button. The LKAS indicator will appear on the MID when the system is active.

What conditions must be met for the LKAS to function properly?

The LKAS functions when lane markings are detected, the vehicle is traveling between 45-90 mph, and the road has clear visibility. The steering wheel must also be held lightly.

Why does the LKAS deactivate suddenly while driving?

The LKAS may deactivate if it no longer detects lane markings, if the vehicle speed goes outside the operational range, or if the steering wheel is not lightly held.

Can the LKAS be used on all types of roads?

The LKAS is best used on highways or well-marked roads. It may not function properly on roads without clear lane markings, during poor weather conditions, or on sharp curves.

What should I do if the LKAS warning light comes on?

If the LKAS warning light comes on, check for any obstructions on the camera sensor, ensure the windshield is clean, and verify road conditions. If the problem persists, consult your Acura dealer.

How can I temporarily disable the LKAS?

To temporarily disable the LKAS, press the LKAS button on the steering wheel again. The LKAS indicator light on the dashboard will turn off, indicating the system is inactive.

Does the LKAS require any regular maintenance?

The LKAS system itself does not require regular maintenance, but it is important to keep the camera located near the rearview mirror clean and unobstructed. Regularly clean the windshield for optimal performance.

What is the difference between LKAS and Road Departure Mitigation?

While LKAS assists in keeping the vehicle centered in its lane by providing steering input, Road Departure Mitigation alerts the driver and applies steering and braking if it detects that the vehicle is about to leave the roadway.

Will the LKAS steer the car completely autonomously?

No, the LKAS is designed to assist the driver in maintaining lane position but does not steer the car autonomously. The driver must keep their hands on the wheel and remain attentive.

Can I adjust the sensitivity of the LKAS alerts?

Yes, the sensitivity of LKAS alerts can be adjusted through the vehicle settings menu. Refer to the owner’s manual for detailed instructions on customization.
