Acura RDX Keyless Access System 2016 SUV Specification
Upon approaching the vehicle, the Keyless Access System automatically detects the proximity of the key fob. When within a certain range, typically about 32 inches, the system enables the user to unlock the doors by simply touching the handle. This feature is further complemented by the ability to unlock the rear liftgate in a similar manner, providing ease of access to the cargo area.
Once inside the vehicle, the driver can start the engine with the push of a button, provided the key fob is inside the cabin. This push-button ignition system eliminates the need to insert a physical key, streamlining the starting process. Additionally, the system includes an automatic memory feature that adjusts seat positions, side mirrors, and climate control settings based on the driver’s preferences, which are stored in the key fob.
Security is a paramount aspect of the Keyless Access System. It employs rolling codes and encrypted communication between the key fob and the vehicle’s control unit, significantly reducing the risk of unauthorized access and theft. In the event the key fob is lost or stolen, the system can be reprogrammed to ensure continued protection.
The Acura RDX Keyless Access System also integrates an engine immobilizer, which prevents the engine from starting without the correct key fob. This is an additional layer of security designed to deter potential thefts.
In summary, the 2016 Acura RDX Keyless Access System offers a blend of advanced technology and user-friendly features, enhancing both the convenience and security of the driving experience.
