Acura RLX Walk Away Auto Lock 2019 Sedan Specification

The Acura RLX 2019 Sedan comes equipped with the advanced Walk Away Auto Lock feature, enhancing both convenience and security. This system automatically locks the vehicle as you walk away, eliminating the need to manually secure it. Once the driver exits the car with the key fob and moves approximately 5 feet away, the doors automatically lock, ensuring that the vehicle remains secure without any additional actions required from the user.

The Walk Away Auto Lock system operates through a series of sensors and wireless communication between the key fob and the vehicle. The key fob emits a signal that is detected by the car’s onboard system. As long as the key fob is within range, the doors remain unlocked. Once the key fob moves out of the specified range, the system triggers the locking mechanism, providing an auditory or visual confirmation to inform the driver that the vehicle is now locked.

This feature is integrated into the RLX’s broader suite of security and convenience technologies, including keyless entry and push-button start. The Walk Away Auto Lock system is designed to prevent accidental lockouts and enhance user convenience by ensuring the vehicle is always locked when unattended. It works seamlessly with other AcuraLink services, offering a comprehensive and cohesive user experience.

In terms of technical reliability, the system uses a robust set of algorithms to avoid false locking/unlocking, ensuring that it operates only under the correct conditions. This feature is part of Acura’s commitment to integrating advanced, user-friendly technologies that provide peace of mind and enhance the overall driving experience.
