Acura RLX Sport Hybrid Lane Keeping Assist System 2019 Sedan Specification

The 2019 Acura RLX Sport Hybrid Sedan's Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS) represents a significant advancement in automotive safety and driving assistance technology. This system is designed to enhance driver confidence and vehicle stability by providing subtle steering inputs to help keep the vehicle centered within a detected lane.

Utilizing a forward-facing camera mounted above the rearview mirror, the LKAS continuously monitors lane markings on the road. When the system detects that the vehicle is unintentionally drifting out of its lane without the use of a turn signal, it activates and gently applies corrective steering torque to guide the vehicle back to the center of the lane. This intervention helps reduce driver fatigue and increases overall driving comfort, especially during long highway journeys.

The LKAS operates effectively in a variety of driving conditions, including highways and well-marked urban roads, provided that the lane markings are clearly visible. It works in tandem with other advanced safety features in the RLX Sport Hybrid, such as Adaptive Cruise Control and the Collision Mitigation Braking System, to provide a comprehensive safety suite.

The system can be activated or deactivated via a button on the steering wheel, allowing the driver to maintain full control. Additionally, the driver retains ultimate control over the vehicle, as the LKAS is designed to assist rather than replace the driver's input. If the system detects that the driver's hands are not on the steering wheel, it will issue visual and auditory alerts to prompt the driver to take control.

Overall, the 2019 Acura RLX Sport Hybrid's Lane Keeping Assist System enhances driving safety by providing reliable lane-keeping support, thereby reducing the risk of unintentional lane departures and contributing to a safer driving experience.

Acura RLX Sport Hybrid Lane Keeping Assist System 2019 Sedan F.A.Q.

How do I activate the Lane Keeping Assist System on my 2019 Acura RLX Sport Hybrid?

To activate the Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS), press the LKAS button located on the right side of the steering wheel. Ensure that the lane markings are clearly visible and the system is turned on in the vehicle settings.

What conditions can prevent the Lane Keeping Assist System from functioning properly?

The LKAS may not function properly in poor weather conditions such as heavy rain, snow, or fog, or if the road markings are faded or not clearly visible. Additionally, sharp curves and narrow lanes may affect its performance.

Why is the Lane Keeping Assist System not detecting lanes on the highway?

Ensure that the windshield is clean and free of obstructions. Check if the lane markings are clear and the system is activated. If the issue persists, it may require a calibration check by a professional technician.

Can I adjust the sensitivity of the Lane Keeping Assist System on my Acura RLX Sport Hybrid?

Yes, the sensitivity of the LKAS can be adjusted through the vehicle's settings menu. Refer to the owner's manual for detailed instructions on accessing and adjusting these settings.

What does it mean if the Lane Keeping Assist System indicator light is flashing?

A flashing LKAS indicator light typically means the system is not able to detect lane markings or there is a temporary issue. Check for any obstructions on the windshield and ensure the lane markings are visible.

How can I temporarily disable the Lane Keeping Assist System?

To temporarily disable the LKAS, simply press the LKAS button on the steering wheel. The system can also be turned off via the vehicle's settings menu if you prefer a more permanent solution.

Does the Lane Keeping Assist System work at all speeds?

The LKAS is designed to function at speeds between 45 mph and 90 mph. It will not activate at speeds below or above this range.

Why does my vehicle drift out of the lane even with the Lane Keeping Assist System active?

While the LKAS assists in maintaining lane position, it requires the driver to keep hands on the wheel and remain attentive. It is not a substitute for attentive driving and may not correct drifting if the lane markings are not clear.

What maintenance is required for the Lane Keeping Assist System?

Regularly ensure that the camera and sensors are clean and unobstructed. Schedule routine maintenance checks to verify system calibration and functionality, especially after windshield replacements or repairs.

How do I know if the Lane Keeping Assist System is active?

When the LKAS is active, the system's indicator light on the dashboard will be illuminated. Additionally, the lanes on the display will be highlighted when the system detects lane markings.
