Acura TLX Adaptive Cruise Control with Low-Speed Follow 2020 Sedan Specification

The Acura TLX 2020 Sedan comes equipped with an advanced Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) system featuring Low-Speed Follow (LSF), designed to enhance driving comfort and safety. This sophisticated system utilizes radar and camera technology to maintain a set speed while automatically adjusting to the flow of traffic. When a slower-moving vehicle is detected ahead, ACC reduces the TLX's speed to maintain a safe following distance, resuming the preset speed once the road clears.

The Low-Speed Follow feature extends the functionality of ACC to stop-and-go traffic conditions. It enables the vehicle to come to a complete stop when the traffic halts and then smoothly accelerates back to the set speed when traffic movement resumes, all without driver intervention. This is particularly beneficial in heavy urban traffic, reducing driver fatigue and enhancing convenience.

The system is seamlessly integrated with the TLX's braking and throttle systems, ensuring smooth and responsive adjustments. It also includes visual and auditory alerts to keep the driver informed of system status and any necessary manual interventions. The ACC with LSF is part of Acura's commitment to providing advanced safety and driver-assist technologies, contributing to an overall secure and enjoyable driving experience. The intuitive interface and responsive performance make the Acura TLX 2020 Sedan's Adaptive Cruise Control with Low-Speed Follow a standout feature in its class.
