Acura RLX Sport Hybrid Adaptive Cruise Control with Low Speed Follow 2018 Sedan Specification

The 2018 Acura RLX Sport Hybrid features an advanced Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) system with Low Speed Follow, designed to enhance driving convenience and safety. This system uses a combination of radar and camera technology to monitor the distance between the RLX and the vehicle ahead, automatically adjusting the sedan's speed to maintain a set interval. When traffic slows, the Low Speed Follow function allows the RLX to smoothly decelerate and can bring the vehicle to a complete stop if necessary. Once traffic resumes, the system can accelerate the RLX back to the preset speed without driver intervention.

The ACC in the 2018 RLX Sport Hybrid operates across a wide range of speeds, making it suitable for both highway cruising and stop-and-go traffic. The system's advanced algorithms ensure precise control, providing a comfortable and secure driving experience. The integration with the RLX's hybrid powertrain further optimizes fuel efficiency by managing acceleration and deceleration in the most energy-efficient manner.

Safety is a paramount concern in the ACC system, which includes fail-safes and alerts to keep the driver informed and in control. If the system detects a potential collision, it can prompt the driver to take action through visual and auditory warnings. The ACC with Low Speed Follow is part of Acura's comprehensive suite of driver-assistance technologies, contributing to the RLX Sport Hybrid's reputation for innovation and excellence in automotive safety and performance.
