Acura RDX Safety Equipment 2019 SUV Specification

The 2019 Acura RDX SUV is engineered with advanced safety features, combining cutting-edge technology with robust design to ensure passenger protection and driver assistance. Central to its safety suite is the AcuraWatch™ suite of driver-assistive and safety technologies. This includes Collision Mitigation Braking System™ (CMBS™), which helps detect and prevent potential frontal collisions by applying the brakes. The Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with Low-Speed Follow maintains a set speed and distance from the vehicle ahead, enhancing convenience and safety during highway driving.

The RDX also incorporates the Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS), which subtly adjusts steering to help keep the vehicle centered in a detected lane. Road Departure Mitigation (RDM) further enhances safety by detecting and alerting the driver when the vehicle is about to leave the roadway and can provide steering assistance to stay on the road. The Blind Spot Information System (BSI) with Rear Cross Traffic Monitor alerts drivers to vehicles detected in the blind spot and during reversing maneuvers, promoting safer lane changes and reversing.

In terms of structural integrity, the 2019 RDX is built with Acura’s Advanced Compatibility Engineering™ (ACE™) body structure, which enhances occupant protection and crash compatibility in frontal collisions. The SUV is equipped with multiple airbags, including front, side, and side curtain airbags with rollover sensors. The vehicle's stability is augmented by the Vehicle Stability Assist™ (VSA®) with traction control, which helps maintain control during slippery conditions or sudden maneuvers.

Overall, the 2019 Acura RDX SUV integrates a comprehensive array of safety technologies and structural features designed to provide maximum protection and peace of mind for all occupants.
