Acura RDX Adaptive Cruise Control 2019 SUV Specification

The 2019 Acura RDX features an advanced Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) system designed to enhance driving comfort and safety. This system utilizes a sophisticated combination of radar and camera technology to maintain a consistent speed set by the driver while automatically adjusting to the flow of traffic. The ACC system can detect vehicles ahead and modify the RDX's speed to maintain a safe following distance, providing a seamless driving experience.

The radar sensor, mounted on the front grille, measures the distance and relative speed of vehicles directly ahead. Meanwhile, the monocular camera, situated near the rearview mirror, identifies lane markings and vehicle positions. These inputs are processed by the onboard computer to dynamically adjust the throttle and braking. The system operates at speeds ranging from 20 to 95 mph, making it versatile for both city and highway driving.

Drivers can customize the following distance via the Multi-Information Display (MID) settings, choosing from four different intervals. Additionally, the Low-Speed Follow (LSF) function enables the ACC to handle stop-and-go traffic by bringing the vehicle to a complete stop when necessary and resuming the set speed once traffic clears.

The ACC system in the 2019 Acura RDX is integrated with other safety features such as Collision Mitigation Braking System™ (CMBS™) and Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS), creating a cohesive safety net. The user-friendly interface and intuitive controls ensure that drivers can easily engage and adjust the ACC, contributing to a more relaxed and controlled driving experience.

Overall, the Adaptive Cruise Control in the 2019 Acura RDX exemplifies Acura’s commitment to innovative technology and driver-centric safety enhancements, providing a blend of convenience, efficiency, and peace of mind on the road.
