This advanced system uses radar sensors located in the rear bumper to detect approaching vehicles from either side when the RDX is in reverse.

Additionally, the monitor is part of Acura's suite of driver-assistive technologies, designed to work in harmony with other features such as the Blind Spot Information System and Rear Parking Sensors, thereby creating a comprehensive safety net.

Engineered to enhance driver confidence, the Rear Cross Traffic Monitor contributes to reducing the risk of collisions when backing out of parking spaces or driveways. The intuitive alert system ensures that the driver is immediately aware of any potential hazards, allowing for prompt and informed decision-making. With the 2023 Acura RDX's Rear Cross Traffic Monitor, drivers can enjoy a heightened sense of security and convenience, underscoring Acura's commitment to advanced safety technologies.
