Acura ZDX Adaptive Cruise Control 2010 SUV Specification

The 2010 Acura ZDX Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) SUV is a blend of advanced technology and luxury, designed to enhance the driving experience. The Adaptive Cruise Control system in the ZDX uses radar technology to maintain a set following distance from the vehicle ahead, automatically adjusting the speed to ensure a safe gap. This system operates in a speed range from approximately 30 to 90 miles per hour, providing seamless transitions between acceleration and deceleration. The radar unit, discreetly located behind the front grille, monitors traffic conditions and communicates with the Electronic Control Unit (ECU) to manage throttle and braking inputs.

The ACC system includes a forward collision warning feature that alerts the driver with visual and auditory signals if a potential collision is detected, providing an added layer of safety. The system is integrated with the ZDX’s braking system, enabling it to pre-charge the brakes for quicker response if the driver needs to intervene. Additionally, the ACC can be easily activated and adjusted via steering wheel-mounted controls, allowing the driver to set the desired speed and distance preferences without taking their hands off the wheel.

The 2010 Acura ZDX itself is powered by a 3.7-liter V6 engine producing 300 horsepower, coupled with a 6-speed automatic transmission with Sequential SportShift. The vehicle features Acura’s Super Handling All-Wheel Drive (SH-AWD) system, enhancing stability and handling under various driving conditions. The interior boasts premium materials, a panoramic glass roof, and advanced infotainment options, ensuring a comfortable and connected driving experience. With its combination of cutting-edge ACC technology and luxurious design, the 2010 Acura ZDX stands out as a sophisticated and capable SUV.
