Acura RLX Lane Departure Warning System 2019 Sedan Specification

The 2019 Acura RLX Sedan features an advanced Lane Departure Warning (LDW) system designed to enhance driver safety and mitigate the risk of unintentional lane departures. Central to this system is a high-resolution forward-facing camera mounted on the windshield, strategically positioned to monitor lane markings on the road. The LDW system continuously analyzes the vehicle's position relative to these lane markers.

When the system detects that the vehicle is unintentionally drifting out of its lane without the use of a turn signal, it triggers visual and auditory alerts to prompt the driver to take corrective action. The visual warnings are displayed on the multi-information display within the instrument cluster, while the auditory warnings are emitted through the vehicle’s audio system.

An essential feature of the LDW system is its ability to operate under various driving conditions, including different light levels and road surfaces. This robustness is achieved through advanced image processing algorithms and high dynamic range imaging, ensuring accurate lane detection even in challenging scenarios such as nighttime driving or adverse weather conditions.

The LDW system is part of Acura’s suite of safety and driver-assistance technologies, collectively known as AcuraWatch. This suite aims to provide a comprehensive approach to vehicle safety by integrating multiple systems that work in concert to assist the driver. The LDW system emphasizes non-intrusive assistance, alerting the driver without taking over control of the vehicle, thereby maintaining the driver’s primary role in vehicle operation.

Overall, the Lane Departure Warning system in the 2019 Acura RLX Sedan exemplifies Acura's commitment to leveraging advanced technology to enhance driver awareness and safety, contributing to a more secure driving experience.

How do I activate the Lane Departure Warning system in my 2019 Acura RLX?

To activate the Lane Departure Warning (LDW) system, press the LDW button located on the dashboard to the left of the steering wheel. The system will alert you if it detects lane drift without signaling.

Why is the Lane Departure Warning system not working in my Acura RLX?

The LDW system may not work if the camera is obstructed, if there is poor visibility due to weather conditions, or if the lane markings are not clearly visible. Ensure the windshield is clean and the camera is unobstructed.

Can I adjust the sensitivity of the Lane Departure Warning alerts?

The sensitivity of the LDW system is preset and cannot be adjusted. However, you can turn the system on or off using the LDW button if you find the alerts unnecessary or disruptive.

Is it normal for the Lane Departure Warning system to not alert me on sharp curves?

Yes, the LDW system is designed to function primarily on straight or slightly curved roads. It may not issue alerts on sharp curves, so always stay attentive to road conditions.

What should I do if the Lane Departure Warning indicator light stays on?

If the LDW indicator light remains on, it may indicate a system malfunction. Try restarting the vehicle. If the issue persists, consult your Acura dealer for service.

Does the Lane Departure Warning system work at all speeds?

No, the LDW system typically activates at speeds above 45 mph (72 km/h). It is designed to assist primarily on highways and similar roads.

How can I temporarily disable the Lane Departure Warning system?

To temporarily disable the LDW system, simply press the LDW button on the dashboard. The system will remain off until you reactivate it by pressing the button again.

Why does the Lane Departure Warning system sometimes fail to detect lane markings?

The LDW system may fail to detect lane markings if they are faded, obscured by dirt or snow, or if there are complex road conditions like construction zones. Ensure the camera view is clear for optimal performance.

Can I rely solely on the Lane Departure Warning system for lane keeping?

No, the LDW system is a driver-assist feature and is not designed to control the vehicle. Always maintain control of your Acura RLX and be mindful of road conditions.

What maintenance is required for the Lane Departure Warning system?

Regularly clean the windshield to ensure the camera has a clear view. Schedule routine checkups with your Acura service provider to ensure the system is functioning correctly.
