Acura RLX Sport Hybrid Safety Equipment 2019 Sedan Specification

The Acura RLX Sport Hybrid 2019 Sedan is equipped with a comprehensive suite of advanced safety features designed to provide maximum protection for both the driver and passengers. The vehicle incorporates AcuraWatch™, a collection of safety and driver-assistive technologies that includes Collision Mitigation Braking System™ (CMBS™), which helps to reduce the likelihood of a frontal impact. The Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with Low-Speed Follow maintains a set following interval in highway driving and can bring the vehicle to a stop in traffic conditions.

The RLX Sport Hybrid also features Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS) that helps keep the vehicle centered in a detected lane, and the Road Departure Mitigation (RDM) system, which can provide steering assistance and, if necessary, apply braking to prevent the vehicle from leaving the roadway. The vehicle's Blind Spot Information System (BSI) and Rear Cross Traffic Monitor provide additional situational awareness, alerting the driver to vehicles detected in adjacent lanes or approaching from either side when reversing.

Standard safety features include a multi-view rear camera with dynamic guidelines, Vehicle Stability Assist™ (VSA®) with Traction Control, and a comprehensive airbag system, including front, side, and side curtain airbags with rollover sensors. The body structure incorporates Acura’s Advanced Compatibility Engineering™ (ACE™) design, which enhances occupant protection and crash compatibility in frontal collisions.

Furthermore, the RLX Sport Hybrid is equipped with front and rear parking sensors and a Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) that alerts the driver when tire pressure is critically low, ensuring optimal vehicle performance and safety. This holistic approach to safety underscores Acura's commitment to delivering a secure and confident driving experience.

How do I activate the Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS) in my 2019 Acura RLX Sport Hybrid?

To activate the Lane Keeping Assist System, press the LKAS button located on the steering wheel. A visual indicator will appear on the dashboard, confirming activation. Ensure the vehicle is traveling above 45 mph and lane markings are visible to utilize this feature effectively.

What is the proper way to maintain the Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) system?

To maintain the Adaptive Cruise Control system, regularly clean the sensors and radar located at the front of the vehicle. Avoid using high-pressure water directly on these components. Additionally, ensure the windshield is free of obstructions for optimal sensor performance.

How can I troubleshoot the Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS) if it is not functioning properly?

If the CMBS is not functioning, first check if the system is turned on via the settings menu. Ensure that the sensors are clean and unobstructed. If the problem persists, consult the vehicle's manual or take the car to an authorized Acura service center for further diagnostics.

What steps should I take if the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) warning light activates?

If the TPMS warning light activates, check the tire pressure on all four tires and adjust as necessary. If the light remains on after adjusting the pressure, perform a TPMS reset by following the procedure in the owner's manual. If the issue continues, seek assistance from a professional technician.

Can I disable the Road Departure Mitigation (RDM) system temporarily?

Yes, you can temporarily disable the RDM system by pressing the RDM button located on the dashboard. The system will remain off until the vehicle is restarted. Consult the owner's manual for detailed instructions on managing system settings.

How do I ensure the Blind Spot Information (BSI) system is functioning correctly?

To ensure the BSI system is functioning correctly, verify that the system is activated in the vehicle’s settings. The indicators should illuminate when a vehicle is detected in the blind spot. Regularly clean the sensors located on the side mirrors to prevent false alerts.

What maintenance is required for the Rear Cross Traffic Monitor (RCTM) system?

Maintenance for the RCTM system includes keeping the rear bumper and sensors clean and free from any debris or obstructions. Regular inspection of the sensor area during routine vehicle washes will help ensure system reliability.

How can I adjust the settings for the Forward Collision Warning (FCW) system?

To adjust the FCW settings, navigate to the vehicle settings menu on the infotainment system. From there, you can select different sensitivity levels or turn the system off. Refer to the owner's manual for a detailed guide on accessing and modifying FCW settings.

Is it possible to customize the alert sound for the Parking Sensors in the 2019 Acura RLX Sport Hybrid?

Yes, the alert sound for the parking sensors can be customized through the vehicle's infotainment settings. Access the sound settings menu to adjust the volume or change the tone of the alerts. Consult the manual for step-by-step instructions.

What should I do if the Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA) system warning light comes on while driving?

If the VSA warning light comes on, it may indicate a fault in the system. Safely pull over and restart the engine to reset the system. If the light remains on, have the vehicle inspected by an Acura service technician to diagnose and resolve any underlying issues.
