Acura RLX Sport Hybrid Lane Keeping Assist System 2017 Sedan Specification

The Acura RLX Sport Hybrid 2017 Sedan is equipped with an advanced Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS) designed to enhance driver safety and comfort. This system utilizes a combination of a forward-facing camera, sophisticated algorithms, and electronic power steering to help drivers maintain their lane on well-marked highways. The forward-facing camera, mounted near the rearview mirror, continuously monitors lane markings and the vehicle's position within the lane. When the LKAS detects that the vehicle is unintentionally drifting out of its lane without a turn signal being activated, it provides subtle steering adjustments to guide the vehicle back into the center of the lane.

The LKAS operates at speeds between 45 and 90 miles per hour, making it particularly useful for highway driving. It can be activated and deactivated via a button on the steering wheel, allowing the driver to maintain full control over the system. The system's responsiveness is governed by advanced software that differentiates between intentional lane changes and inadvertent lane departures, thereby minimizing unnecessary interventions.

The Lane Keeping Assist System works in conjunction with other safety features such as Adaptive Cruise Control and Collision Mitigation Braking System, providing a comprehensive suite of driver assistance technologies. The integration of these systems helps reduce driver fatigue and enhances overall driving confidence. The LKAS in the 2017 Acura RLX Sport Hybrid is a testament to Acura's commitment to leveraging technology to improve vehicle safety and driver experience.

Acura RLX Sport Hybrid Lane Keeping Assist System 2017 Sedan F.A.Q.

How do I activate the Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS) on my 2017 Acura RLX Sport Hybrid?

To activate LKAS, press the MAIN button on the steering wheel. Then, press the LKAS button. The LKAS indicator will appear on the dashboard when the system is active.

What should I do if the LKAS warning light turns on while driving?

If the LKAS warning light activates, it may indicate a system malfunction or that the system needs calibration. Check the owner's manual for guidance and consider visiting an authorized Acura service center.

Can the LKAS be used in all driving conditions?

LKAS is not designed for all driving conditions. It functions optimally on well-marked highways and is less reliable on roads with poor lane markings, sharp curves, or in adverse weather conditions.

How does the LKAS system in the Acura RLX Sport Hybrid detect lane markings?

The LKAS system uses a camera mounted near the rearview mirror to detect lane markings. It then provides steering assistance to help keep the vehicle centered within the lane.

What maintenance is required for the LKAS system?

Regularly clean the windshield to ensure the camera can accurately detect lane markings. Schedule routine inspections at an Acura service center to ensure the system is functioning correctly.

Is it possible to adjust the sensitivity of the LKAS system?

The sensitivity of the LKAS system is preset and cannot be manually adjusted by the driver. However, ensure that the system is properly calibrated during service visits for optimal performance.

Why does the LKAS system sometimes not recognize lane markings?

The LKAS system may fail to recognize lane markings due to worn or obscured markings, poor lighting, or adverse weather conditions. Ensure the windshield is clean and the camera is unobstructed.

Can I use the LKAS system in city driving?

While the LKAS can function in urban environments, it is primarily designed for highway use. In city driving, frequent lane changes and unclear markings may reduce its effectiveness.

What is the difference between LKAS and Lane Departure Warning (LDW) in the Acura RLX Sport Hybrid?

LKAS actively assists with steering to help keep the vehicle in the lane, while Lane Departure Warning (LDW) alerts the driver with visual and/or audible signals if the vehicle unintentionally drifts out of its lane.

How can I temporarily disable the LKAS system?

To temporarily disable the LKAS system, press the MAIN button on the steering wheel to turn off the system. The LKAS indicator will disappear from the dashboard.
