Acura RLX Sport Hybrid Brakes 2019 Sedan Specification

The 2019 Acura RLX Sport Hybrid Sedan is equipped with a sophisticated braking system designed to ensure superior stopping power and enhanced driving safety. The brake system consists of ventilated disc brakes on both the front and rear wheels, which improve heat dissipation and reduce the risk of brake fade during intense driving conditions. The front brakes are 12.3 inches in diameter, while the rear brakes measure 12.2 inches, providing ample surface area for effective braking performance.

The RLX Sport Hybrid features an advanced Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) that prevents wheel lockup during emergency braking, thereby maintaining steering control. This system is complemented by Electronic Brake Distribution (EBD), which optimally distributes braking force between the front and rear wheels based on the vehicle's load conditions, ensuring balanced and stable braking. Additionally, the Brake Assist (BA) system detects sudden or forceful braking and automatically increases braking force to help reduce stopping distances.

The braking system is integrated with the Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA) with Traction Control, which works in tandem with the brakes to enhance vehicle stability by applying brake force to individual wheels as needed. The regenerative braking system is another key feature, capturing kinetic energy during braking and converting it into electrical energy to recharge the lithium-ion battery, thereby improving overall fuel efficiency.

High-performance brake pads and calipers are used to provide consistent and reliable braking performance, even under high-stress driving conditions. The inclusion of low-dust brake pads ensures minimal residue, keeping the wheels cleaner and reducing maintenance requirements. The braking system of the 2019 Acura RLX Sport Hybrid Sedan is engineered to deliver both safety and performance, making it a crucial component of the vehicle’s overall dynamic capabilities.

Acura RLX Sport Hybrid Brakes 2019 Sedan F.A.Q.

What is the recommended brake fluid for the 2019 Acura RLX Sport Hybrid?

The recommended brake fluid for the 2019 Acura RLX Sport Hybrid is DOT 3 or DOT 4 brake fluid. Always ensure the fluid meets Acura's specifications.

How often should the brake pads be inspected on the 2019 Acura RLX Sport Hybrid?

Brake pads should be inspected every 12,000 miles or at every oil change interval to ensure optimal performance and safety.

What are the signs that the brake pads need to be replaced on the 2019 Acura RLX Sport Hybrid?

Signs that brake pads need replacement include squealing noises, reduced braking performance, and a warning light on the dashboard.

How do you perform a brake fluid change on the 2019 Acura RLX Sport Hybrid?

To change the brake fluid, safely lift the vehicle, remove the wheels, drain the old fluid, and refill with new fluid while bleeding the brake system to remove air.

What should you do if the brake pedal feels soft on the 2019 Acura RLX Sport Hybrid?

If the brake pedal feels soft, check the brake fluid level and inspect for leaks. If the issue persists, have the brake system inspected by a professional.

Can you replace the brake pads on the 2019 Acura RLX Sport Hybrid with aftermarket options?

Yes, aftermarket brake pads can be used, but it is crucial to ensure they meet the same specifications and quality standards as original equipment.

What is the procedure for bedding in new brake pads on the 2019 Acura RLX Sport Hybrid?

To bed in new brake pads, perform a series of gradual stops from 30 mph to 5 mph, allowing the brakes to cool between stops to ensure optimal performance.

How do you troubleshoot a squeaking noise from the brakes on the 2019 Acura RLX Sport Hybrid?

Inspect the brake pads and rotors for wear or damage, check for debris, and ensure all components are properly lubricated. If the issue continues, consult a professional.

What is the function of the brake assist system in the 2019 Acura RLX Sport Hybrid?

The brake assist system enhances braking power during emergency stops by detecting rapid pedal pressure and automatically increasing brake force.

How do you reset the brake wear indicator on the 2019 Acura RLX Sport Hybrid?

To reset the brake wear indicator, replace worn brake components, and the system should automatically reset. If not, consult the vehicle's manual or a professional.
