Acura RLX Sport Hybrid Collision Mitigation Braking System 2019 Sedan Specification

The 2019 Acura RLX Sport Hybrid Sedan features an advanced Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS) designed to enhance driver and passenger safety. This sophisticated system employs a combination of radar and camera technology to detect potential frontal collisions. Upon identifying a possible collision, the CMBS alerts the driver with visual and auditory warnings. If the driver does not take corrective action, the system automatically engages the brakes to mitigate the impact. The system operates in multiple stages, first providing a warning, then lightly applying the brakes, and finally applying strong braking force if the collision risk escalates. Additionally, the CMBS integrates seamlessly with other safety technologies within the vehicle, including the Adaptive Cruise Control and Lane Keeping Assist System, to provide a comprehensive safety net. This integration ensures that the vehicle maintains a safe distance from other vehicles while also staying within the designated lane. The 2019 Acura RLX Sport Hybrid's CMBS exemplifies cutting-edge automotive safety engineering, prioritizing the well-being of its occupants through proactive and responsive measures.

Acura RLX Sport Hybrid Collision Mitigation Braking System 2019 Sedan F.A.Q.

How does the Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS) work in the 2019 Acura RLX Sport Hybrid?

The CMBS in the 2019 Acura RLX Sport Hybrid uses a combination of radar and camera technology to detect potential frontal collisions. If a collision is imminent, the system provides visual and audio alerts and applies braking automatically to reduce impact severity.

What should I do if the CMBS warning light comes on in my Acura RLX Sport Hybrid?

If the CMBS warning light is illuminated, it indicates a malfunction in the system. You should have your vehicle inspected by an authorized Acura dealer as soon as possible to diagnose and address the issue.

Can I turn off the Collision Mitigation Braking System in the 2019 Acura RLX Sport Hybrid?

Yes, the CMBS can be turned off by accessing the vehicle settings through the infotainment system. However, it is not recommended to disable this safety feature unless absolutely necessary.

Why is my CMBS not activating during certain driving conditions?

The CMBS may not activate if the speed difference between your vehicle and the object ahead is too low or too high, or if the object is not detected by the radar and camera sensors. It's important to maintain the system's sensors and ensure they are clean and unobstructed.

How can I maintain the CMBS sensors in my 2019 Acura RLX Sport Hybrid?

Regularly clean the areas around the radar located in the front grille and the camera near the rearview mirror. Ensure there is no dirt, snow, or debris obstructing these sensors to maintain optimal performance.

Is the CMBS affected by weather conditions?

Yes, adverse weather conditions like heavy rain, fog, or snow can affect the CMBS's ability to detect objects accurately. It's important to drive cautiously in such conditions even with the system activated.

Will the CMBS bring my Acura RLX Sport Hybrid to a complete stop?

The CMBS is designed to reduce the severity of a collision by applying brakes but may not always bring the vehicle to a complete stop depending on speed and distance. Drivers should remain attentive and ready to take action.

What should I do if the CMBS activates unnecessarily?

If the CMBS activates without an apparent reason, make sure the sensors are clean and unobstructed. If the issue persists, consult an authorized Acura dealer for a system check and calibration.

Can CMBS detect pedestrians or animals?

The CMBS is primarily designed to detect vehicles. While it may detect pedestrians or large animals, it is not guaranteed. Drivers should always remain vigilant and not solely rely on the system for collision avoidance.

How often should I have the CMBS checked for maintenance?

It's recommended to have the CMBS checked during regular vehicle maintenance intervals or if you notice any system warnings or unusual behavior. Your Acura dealer can provide specific recommendations based on usage and conditions.
