Acura RDX Lane Keeping Assist System 2016 SUV Specification

The Acura RDX 2016 SUV is equipped with an advanced Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS) designed to enhance driver safety and convenience. This system integrates several cutting-edge technologies to ensure the vehicle remains within its designated lane on the road. Utilizing a forward-facing camera mounted at the top of the windshield, the LKAS continuously monitors road markings. When the system detects that the vehicle is unintentionally drifting out of its lane without the use of turn signals, it provides visual and auditory alerts to the driver.

In addition to these alerts, the LKAS is capable of making subtle steering adjustments to help guide the vehicle back to the center of the lane. These adjustments are made through the Electric Power Steering (EPS) system, which offers precise control without significant driver intervention. The LKAS operates optimally at speeds between 45 to 90 mph, making it particularly useful for highway driving.

The system can be activated and deactivated via a dedicated button on the steering wheel, allowing drivers to choose when they want the assistance. It is important to note that the LKAS is designed to be a supplementary aid and not a replacement for active and attentive driving. The system’s performance can be affected by various factors such as poor weather conditions, faded lane markings, and sharp curves, where its ability to detect lanes may be compromised.

Overall, the Lane Keeping Assist System in the 2016 Acura RDX aims to reduce the risk of unintentional lane departure and enhance driver confidence, contributing to a safer driving experience.

How do I activate the Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS) on my 2016 Acura RDX?

To activate the LKAS, press the "LKAS" button located on the steering wheel. Ensure the vehicle is traveling above 45 mph and lane markings are clearly visible.

What should I do if the LKAS is not detecting lanes properly?

Ensure that the camera located near the rearview mirror is not obstructed by dirt or debris. Clean the windshield and make sure the lanes are clearly visible.

Can I rely solely on the LKAS for steering my Acura RDX?

No, the LKAS is designed to assist the driver, not replace them. You should always keep your hands on the steering wheel and remain attentive to the road.

Why does the LKAS turn off automatically sometimes?

The LKAS may turn off if the lane markings are not detected, if the vehicle speed drops below 45 mph, or if the steering wheel is not held for a certain period.

How do I adjust the sensitivity of the LKAS on my 2016 Acura RDX?

Currently, the 2016 Acura RDX does not offer an option to manually adjust LKAS sensitivity. It is pre-configured for optimal performance.

What maintenance does the LKAS require?

Regularly clean the windshield and ensure the camera is unobstructed. Have the system checked by a professional if any warning lights appear.

Is it possible to deactivate the LKAS permanently?

The LKAS can be deactivated by pressing the "LKAS" button. However, it will reset to active when the vehicle is restarted.

What does the LKAS warning light indicate?

The LKAS warning light indicates a potential issue with the system. Check for obstructions on the windshield and consult a dealer if the light persists.

Can I use LKAS in all weather conditions?

LKAS may not function properly in adverse weather conditions such as heavy rain, fog, or snow, as these can obscure lane markings.

How does the LKAS alert the driver if it cannot function properly?

The system will issue visual and audible alerts if it cannot detect lane markings or if the driver needs to take over steering.
