uuAcuraWatchTMuTraffic Jam Assist
Continued
Driving
Traffic Jam Assist
The traffic jam assist system uses a radar sensor mounted inside the front grille and
a camera mounted to the upper portion of the windshield to detect and monitor left
and right white (yellow) traffic lane lines as well as any vehicle ahead. Based on
inputs from the radar sensor and camera , the system adjusts the speed of your
vehicle to maintain a set interval between your vehicle and the one detected ahead.
It also applies steering torque to keep your vehicle in the center of the detected lane
when you are driving in heavy traffic.
■How Traffic Jam Assist works
If you are in heavy traffic and Adaptive Cruise Contro l with Low Speed Follow is
active, the traffic jam assist system, upon detecting the traf fic lane lines and a vehicle
ahead, will apply steering torque to help keep your vehicle in the center of the lane.
The system adjusts the speed of your vehicl e to maintain a set interval between your
vehicle and the one detected ahead.
1 Traffic Jam Assist
3WARNING
Improper reliance on Traffic Jam Assist can
cause a crash resulting in injury or death.
Always maintain full control over your
vehicle even when this system is active. and
only use when on ex pressways or freeways.
Traffic Jam Assist is not an autonomous
driving system.
3WARNING
Failure to securely park vehicle when
stopped while Adaptive Cruise Control with
Low Speed Follow is active can allow the
vehicle to roll away, resulting in a crash
causing injury or death.
Never stop the vehicle and exit it without
placing it in Park and setting the parking
brake.

■When no vehicle is traveling ahead
If the vehicle detected ahead disappears from
the travel path of your vehicle (for example, it
changes lanes), Traffic Jam Assist will be
deactivated temporarily and your vehicle will
gradually accelerate until it reaches the set
speed, after which it will maintain that speed.1How Traffic Jam Assist Works
If the vehicle detected ahead suddenly slows down,
or if another vehicle is de tected cutting in front of
yours, a warning buzzer will sound, and a warning in
the driver information interface and head-up
warning
* will appear.
Depress the brake pedal and take direct control of
