Engineered to function effectively under various weather conditions, the Rear Cross Traffic Monitor ensures reliable performance through its advanced radar technology. The sensors are strategically positioned to cover a wide detection area, thereby minimizing blind spots and providing an added layer of security.

Incorporating this feature into the 2020 Acura TLX reflects the brand's commitment to safety and innovation, offering drivers a sophisticated tool to mitigate the risk of collisions while reversing.
