Acura RLX Sport Hybrid Blind Spot Information System 2020 Sedan Specification

The 2020 Acura RLX Sport Hybrid Sedan is equipped with an advanced Blind Spot Information (BSI) System, enhancing driver awareness and safety. This feature operates through a combination of radar sensors strategically positioned on the rear corners of the vehicle. These sensors continuously monitor the flanks of the RLX, detecting vehicles that may be out of the driver's direct line of sight.

When a vehicle enters the blind spot on either side, the BSI system activates a visual alert on the corresponding side mirror, ensuring the driver is immediately aware of the potential hazard. If the driver signals a lane change towards the occupied lane, the system issues an additional warning, providing an extra layer of precaution.

The Blind Spot Information System in the 2020 Acura RLX Sport Hybrid is engineered to function seamlessly at speeds above 20 mph, making it particularly effective during highway driving. The system's design ensures minimal intrusion, maintaining a balance between alerting the driver and preventing unnecessary distractions. Its integration with the vehicle's overall safety suite complements other advanced features such as the Collision Mitigation Braking System and Adaptive Cruise Control.

The BSI system's functionality is further enhanced by its ability to operate in various weather conditions, thanks to its robust sensor technology. This ensures reliable performance, contributing to the overall safety and driving experience of the Acura RLX Sport Hybrid Sedan. The combination of these sophisticated systems underscores Acura's commitment to delivering cutting-edge automotive safety and driver assistance technologies.
