Acura TLX Adaptive Cruise Control with Low-Speed Follow 2016 Sedan Specification

The 2016 Acura TLX Sedan is equipped with an advanced Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) system with Low-Speed Follow, providing a sophisticated driving experience that enhances both safety and convenience. This system utilizes radar and camera technology to maintain a set speed and following distance from the vehicle ahead. When the road is clear, the ACC maintains the preset speed, but if traffic is detected, it automatically adjusts the speed to keep a safe distance, even bringing the vehicle to a complete stop if necessary.

The Low-Speed Follow feature is particularly useful in congested traffic conditions, allowing the TLX to follow the vehicle directly in front, managing acceleration and braking autonomously to maintain a smooth flow. This functionality operates effectively in stop-and-go traffic, reducing the need for constant driver intervention. The system's radar unit, mounted in the front grille, and a monocular camera, located near the rearview mirror, work in tandem to detect vehicles and obstacles, ensuring precise operation.

Additionally, the ACC system includes customizable settings, allowing the driver to choose from different following distances based on preference and driving conditions. This feature integrates seamlessly with other advanced safety systems in the TLX, such as Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS) and Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS), to provide an extra layer of safety.

Overall, the Adaptive Cruise Control with Low-Speed Follow in the 2016 Acura TLX Sedan exemplifies a blend of innovative technology and practical functionality, aimed at delivering a more relaxed and secure driving experience.
