Acura TLX Parking Sensor System 2019 Sedan Specification

The 2019 Acura TLX Sedan is equipped with an advanced Parking Sensor System designed to enhance driver awareness and safety during parking maneuvers. This system utilizes a network of ultrasonic sensors strategically placed around the vehicle, specifically integrated into the front and rear bumpers. These sensors detect obstacles within close proximity and provide real-time feedback to the driver.

The Parking Sensor System operates by emitting ultrasonic waves that bounce off nearby objects and return to the sensors, which then calculate the distance to the obstacles. The system is active at low speeds, typically below 6 mph, ensuring it is operational during parking scenarios. When an object is detected, the system alerts the driver through audible beeps that increase in frequency as the vehicle approaches the obstacle. Additionally, visual indicators are displayed on the multi-information display (MID) and, in some models, on the central touchscreen interface, providing a graphical representation of the vehicle's surroundings.

The system is designed to detect a variety of objects, including other vehicles, walls, and even low-lying obstructions that might not be visible from the driver's seat. The front sensors cover a range of approximately 3 feet, while the rear sensors extend up to 6 feet, offering comprehensive coverage to prevent potential collisions.

The Parking Sensor System in the 2019 Acura TLX Sedan enhances situational awareness and aids in precise parking, contributing to a safer and more convenient driving experience. The intuitive design and seamless integration with the vehicle’s existing safety features underscore Acura's commitment to innovative automotive technology.
