Acura RL Overhead Controls 2012 Sedan Specification

The 2012 Acura RL sedan features a well-designed overhead control system that enhances both functionality and convenience for the driver and passengers. Central to this system is the overhead console, which is strategically located between the front seats, just above the rearview mirror. This console integrates several essential controls and features, including the sunroof operation switches, interior lighting controls, and the HomeLink® universal transceiver.

The sunroof controls allow for easy tilt and slide adjustments, providing natural ventilation and light with minimal effort. The interior lighting system is equipped with LED map lights for both the driver and passenger, ensuring optimal visibility without causing glare. Additionally, the ambient lighting subtly illuminates the cabin, enhancing the overall driving experience during nighttime travel.

The HomeLink® universal transceiver is a versatile feature that allows users to program and control up to three remote devices such as garage doors, security gates, and home lighting systems. This integration promotes a seamless transition between vehicle and home environment, adding a layer of convenience to daily routines.

The overhead control system in the 2012 Acura RL sedan is designed with user-friendly ergonomics in mind, ensuring that all switches and buttons are easily accessible and intuitive to operate. The combination of these features reflects Acura's commitment to blending luxury with advanced technology, aiming to provide an enhanced driving experience through thoughtful design and engineering.

Locate the interior fuse box under the dashboard. Find the fuse corresponding to the overhead controls using the diagram on the fuse box cover, and replace it with a fuse of the same amperage.
