Acura RLX Walk Away Auto Lock 2018 Sedan Specification

The 2018 Acura RLX Walk Away Auto Lock feature is a sophisticated security enhancement designed to provide drivers with convenience and peace of mind. This system is integrated into the 2018 Acura RLX Sedan, a luxury vehicle renowned for its advanced technology and superior performance. The Walk Away Auto Lock feature automatically locks the car doors when the driver, carrying the key fob, moves away from the vehicle. This mechanism utilizes proximity sensors to detect the distance of the key fob from the car, ensuring that the doors lock once the key fob is approximately five feet away.

The system is activated by default but can be easily toggled on or off via the vehicle’s settings menu, accessed through the central touchscreen display. For additional convenience, the driver can receive audio and visual confirmation that the doors have been locked. This feature is particularly useful in preventing potential thefts or accidental unlocks, as it eliminates the need for the driver to manually lock the doors each time they exit the vehicle. The Walk Away Auto Lock system is part of Acura’s comprehensive suite of security features, designed to complement the car’s keyless entry and ignition system.

In addition to its core functionality, the Walk Away Auto Lock feature is seamlessly integrated with other smart technologies in the RLX Sedan, such as the multi-angle rearview camera and the AcuraWatch suite of safety and driver-assistive technologies. These integrations ensure that the RLX not only offers a high level of security but also enhances overall driving experience and safety. The 2018 Acura RLX Walk Away Auto Lock feature embodies the brand's commitment to combining luxury with cutting-edge technology to offer a secure and convenient driving experience.
