Acura RLX Safety Equipment 2018 Sedan Specification

The 2018 Acura RLX Sedan is equipped with an array of advanced safety features designed to protect occupants and enhance overall driving confidence. The vehicle incorporates AcuraWatch™, a comprehensive suite of driver-assistance technologies. Key components include Collision Mitigation Braking System™ (CMBS™), which assists in preventing or reducing the severity of frontal collisions, and Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with Low-Speed Follow, which maintains a set speed and distance from the vehicle ahead. Additionally, the RLX features Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS) to help keep the vehicle centered in a detected lane and Road Departure Mitigation (RDM) that provides steering assistance or braking to prevent the car from unintentionally leaving the roadway.

The sedan is also equipped with a Multi-View Rear Camera with Dynamic Guidelines, enhancing rear visibility and ensuring safer reversing maneuvers. Blind Spot Information (BSI) system and Rear Cross Traffic Monitor further aid in detecting vehicles that may not be visible to the driver, thus preventing potential collisions during lane changes and reversing out of parking spaces.

The Acura RLX 2018 incorporates advanced airbag systems, including dual-stage, multiple-threshold front airbags, front side airbags, side curtain airbags with a rollover sensor, and a driver's knee airbag. The body structure of the RLX is engineered with Advanced Compatibility Engineering™ (ACE™) to enhance occupant protection by distributing crash energy more evenly throughout the front of the vehicle.

Moreover, the RLX includes Vehicle Stability Assist™ (VSA®) with Traction Control, which helps stabilize the vehicle during cornering and minimize wheel spin during acceleration. The Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) with location and pressure indicators alerts drivers to specific tire under-inflation, ensuring optimal tire performance and safety.

Overall, the 2018 Acura RLX Sedan integrates a robust blend of active and passive safety features, designed to provide comprehensive protection and peace of mind for its occupants.
