Vehicle Stability Assist
®
(VSA
®
) System
Helps to stabilize the vehicle during
cornering if the vehicle turns more or less
than what was intended. It assists in
maintaining traction on slippery surfaces
by regulating engine output and
selectively applying the brakes. VSA is also
known as Electronic Stability Control
(ESC).

Turning VSA
®
On or Off
This button is on the driver side control
panel. VSA
®
is turned on every time
you start the engine, even if you
previously turned it off. If you turn
VSA
®
off, your vehicle has normal
braking and cornering ability, but VSA
®
traction and stability enhancement
become less effective.

AcuraWatch
™
*1
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 Low Speed Follow):
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
): 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.
