Quick Reference Guide
AcuraWatchTM (P 396)
AcuraWatch
TM is 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.
Front Sensor
Camera The camera is located
behind the rearview
mirror.
Radar Sensor The radar sensor is in
the front grille.
Adaptive Cruise Control
(ACC) with Low Speed
Follow
(P 402)
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, wi thout you having to
keep your foot on the brake or the
accelerator.
Lane Keeping Assist
System (LKAS)
(P 421)
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
(P 416)
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
TM
(CMBS
TM) (P 458)
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
TM 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.
Traffic Jam Assist (P 428)
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.
