Traction control stops functioning, which may make it easier when trying
to free your vehicle if it is stuck in mud or snow.
AcuraWatch
™
A driver support system which employs
the use of two distinctly different kinds of
sensors, a radar sensor located in the front
grille and a front sensor camera mounted
to the interior side of the windshield,
behind the rearview mirror.
These are the components of
AcuraWatch
™
:
Adaptive Cruise Control with Low Speed
Follow (ACC with LSF): Helps maintain a
constant vehicle speed and a set
following-interval behind a vehicle
detected ahead of yours and, if the
detected vehicle comes to a stop, can
decelerate and stop your vehicle, without
you having to keep your foot on the brake or the accelerator.
Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS): Provides steering input to help keep the
vehicle in the middle of a detected lane and provides tactile and visual alerts if
the vehicle is detected drifting out of its lane.
Road Departure Mitigation (RDM) System: Alerts and helps to assist you
when the system detects a possibility of your vehicle unintentionally crossing
over detected lane markings and/or leaving the roadway altogether.
Collision Mitigation Braking System
™
(CMBS
™
): Can assist you when there is
a possibility of your vehicle colliding with a vehicle or a pedestrian detected in
front of yours. The CMBS
™
is designed to alert you when a potential collision
is determined, as well as to reduce your vehicle speed to help minimize
collision severity when a collision is deemed unavoidable.
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with Low Speed Follow (LSF)
Helps maintain a constant vehicle speed and a set following interval behind a
vehicle detected ahead of yours and, if the detected vehicle comes to a stop,
can decelerate and stop your vehicle, without you having to keep your foot on
the brake or the accelerator. When ACC with LSF slows your vehicle by
applying the brakes, your vehicle's brake lights will illuminate.

Activating and Setting the Vehicle Speed
1. Press the Main button on the
steering wheel.
2. When driving at about 25 mph (40
km/h) or above:
Take your foot off the pedal and
press down the RES/+/SET/– switch
when you reach the desired speed.
The moment you release the
switch, the set speed is fixed, and
ACC with LSF begins.
When driving slower than about 25 mph (40 km/h):
If the vehicle is moving and the brake pedal is not depressed, pressing
the switch fixes your set speed to about 25 mph (40 km/h) regardless
of current vehicle speed. If your vehicle is stationary, you can set the
vehicle speed even with the brake pedal depressed.
