Acura RLX Road Departure Mitigation 2019 Sedan Specification

The Acura RLX 2019 Sedan is equipped with the advanced Road Departure Mitigation (RDM) system, an innovative safety feature designed to enhance driver assistance and vehicle safety. The RDM system utilizes a forward-facing camera, mounted at the top of the windshield, to continuously monitor lane markings on the road. When the system detects that the vehicle is unintentionally drifting out of its lane without signaling, it provides visual and audio alerts to the driver.

Simultaneously, the RDM system can apply corrective steering torque to help guide the vehicle back into its detected lane. In scenarios where steering input is insufficient, the system is designed to apply gentle braking to individual wheels, further aiding in maintaining proper lane positioning. This dual-action approach ensures a higher level of precision and control, significantly reducing the risk of road departure accidents.

The system operates effectively at speeds between 45 mph and 90 mph, making it particularly useful for highway driving. However, it is designed to function optimally in clear weather conditions and may have limitations in heavy rain, snow, or fog. The RDM system is fully integrated with the vehicle's existing safety suite, including Adaptive Cruise Control and Collision Mitigation Braking System, providing a comprehensive safety net for the driver and passengers.

User interface for the RDM system includes a dedicated button on the steering wheel, allowing the driver to activate or deactivate the feature as needed. Additionally, relevant status information and alerts are displayed on the multi-information display within the instrument cluster, ensuring the driver remains informed without distraction. Overall, the Road Departure Mitigation system in the Acura RLX 2019 Sedan exemplifies Acura's commitment to leveraging cutting-edge technology for enhanced vehicular safety and driver confidence.

Acura RLX Road Departure Mitigation 2019 Sedan F.A.Q.

How does the Road Departure Mitigation system work in the Acura RLX 2019?

The Road Departure Mitigation system uses a camera to detect lane markings. If you begin to drift out of your lane without signaling, it alerts you and can apply corrective steering and braking to help keep the vehicle in the lane.

What should I do if the Road Departure Mitigation system is not functioning properly?

If the system is not working properly, check if the sensors and cameras are clean and unobstructed. If the issue persists, consult your dealership for a diagnostic check.

Can the Road Departure Mitigation system be turned off in an Acura RLX 2019?

Yes, the system can be turned off via the vehicle’s settings menu. Refer to your owner's manual for detailed instructions on how to disable the feature.

What are the visual and audio alerts provided by the Road Departure Mitigation system?

The system provides an audio alert, usually a beep, and a visual alert on the dashboard to warn the driver when the vehicle is about to leave the lane.

Does the Road Departure Mitigation system work in all weather conditions?

The system may not function optimally in adverse weather conditions such as heavy rain, fog, or snow, as these conditions can obstruct the camera's view of lane markings.

How do I maintain the sensors and camera for the Road Departure Mitigation system?

Regularly clean the windshield and area around the camera to ensure clear visibility. Avoid using harsh chemicals that could damage the sensors or camera lens.

What speed does the Road Departure Mitigation system operate at?

The system typically operates at speeds between 45-90 mph (72-145 km/h). Below or above these speeds, the system may not function.

Is the Road Departure Mitigation system active when cruise control is engaged?

Yes, the system remains active when cruise control is engaged, providing an additional layer of safety by monitoring lane departure.

Can the Road Departure Mitigation system detect road edges without lane markings?

The system primarily relies on lane markings. However, it may detect road edges in some situations, though its effectiveness can vary.

Will the Road Departure Mitigation system work on winding roads?

The system may have reduced effectiveness on winding roads due to frequent and sharp changes in lane curvature. Drivers should remain attentive and be prepared to take control.
