Acura TLX Lane Keeping Assist System 2019 Sedan Specification

The 2019 Acura TLX Sedan features a sophisticated Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS) designed to enhance driver safety and comfort. This advanced driver-assistance technology uses a forward-facing camera mounted above the rearview mirror to detect lane markings on the road. Operating when the vehicle is traveling between 45 and 90 miles per hour, LKAS provides subtle steering inputs to help keep the vehicle centered in its lane.

The system continuously monitors the vehicle's position relative to lane boundaries and activates when it senses unintentional lane departure. If the vehicle begins to drift without the turn signal being activated, LKAS gently steers it back towards the center of the lane. The driver is alerted through visual and audible warnings if additional corrective action is required. The system can be overridden at any time by the driver, ensuring full control remains with the person behind the wheel.

LKAS integrates seamlessly with other safety and driver-assistive technologies in the Acura TLX, including the Adaptive Cruise Control with Low-Speed Follow and the Collision Mitigation Braking System. This integration ensures a comprehensive approach to road safety, enhancing the driving experience by reducing the need for frequent steering adjustments and assisting in maintaining a consistent lane position.

The 2019 Acura TLX Lane Keeping Assist System exemplifies the brand's commitment to innovative safety features, combining state-of-the-art technology with practical functionality to support and enhance driver confidence on the road.

Acura TLX Lane Keeping Assist System 2019 Sedan F.A.Q.

How do I activate the Lane Keeping Assist System in my 2019 Acura TLX?

To activate the Lane Keeping Assist System, press the MAIN button on the steering wheel, then press the LKAS button. Ensure the vehicle is moving at a speed between 45 and 90 mph and the white lines are visible on the road.

What does it mean if the LKAS indicator blinks or changes color?

If the LKAS indicator blinks or changes color, it may indicate that the system cannot detect the lane lines or that there is a malfunction. Check for obstructions on the sensor and ensure that the lane markings are clear.

Can the Lane Keeping Assist System operate in all weather conditions?

The Lane Keeping Assist System may not function properly in adverse weather conditions such as heavy rain, fog, or snow, which can obscure lane markings. Always maintain caution and control of the vehicle.

How can I temporarily disable the Lane Keeping Assist System?

To temporarily disable the Lane Keeping Assist System, press the LKAS button on the steering wheel. The system will remain off until it is manually reactivated.

Why does the steering wheel vibrate while using the Lane Keeping Assist System?

The steering wheel may vibrate as a warning that the vehicle is drifting out of the detected lane without signaling. This is a feature of the Lane Keeping Assist System to prompt corrective action.

What should I do if the LKAS system fails to engage?

If the LKAS system fails to engage, ensure that the vehicle is within the operational speed range and that the lane markings are visible. If the problem persists, consult your Acura dealer for a system check.

How often should I have the LKAS sensors checked for maintenance?

Regular vehicle maintenance should include checking the LKAS sensors. Refer to your Acura TLX’s maintenance schedule, typically during routine service intervals, to ensure the sensors are clean and undamaged.

Why does the LKAS system deactivate automatically at times?

The LKAS system may deactivate if it detects insufficient lane markings, sharp curves, or extreme steering input. Ensure that driving conditions are within the system's operational parameters.

Is it safe to use the Lane Keeping Assist System on winding roads?

The Lane Keeping Assist System is not designed for use on winding roads with sharp curves. It is best used on highways with clear, straight lane markings. Always take control of the vehicle in these situations.

What are common troubleshooting steps if the LKAS warning light is on?

If the LKAS warning light is on, check for any obstructions or dirt on the sensors, ensure lane markings are visible, and restart the vehicle. If the issue persists, contact your Acura service center.
