AcuraWatch^™: Keeping a Close “Watch” on Your Safety

When you hit the road, you’ll want to cruise with confidence, which is where the AcuraWatch technology can help—and best of all, these features come standard in every Acura sedan and SUV from this model year. Some examples of these systems include Collision Mitigation Braking System^™ to help you avoid fender benders by helping you brake upon detecting an imminent frontal accident. Meanwhile, Lane Keeping Assist System and Lane Departure Warning System keep track of the lines on the road, and let you know when you accidentally leave your lane while also providing gentle steering nudges to help you recenter and assist in avoiding side accidents. When rush hour traffic hits, Adaptive Cruise Control can power on to take command of the throttle, you just need to control the steering and set a speed and distance you wish to keep from traffic ahead. Worried about driving off a narrow roadway? With Road Departure Mitigation System, your Acura model keeps track of the road environment, and activates steering and braking upon detecting the edge of a street to help you remain safe on the road and not accidentally drift off into a field off the side of a highway.

Control Your Ride…All from Your Palm with AcuraLink^®

When you download the AcuraLink app on your compatible smartphone, you’ll have access to many of your vehicle’s features from your mobile device for full convenience.

Just open the app, and with a couple taps, you can power up your ignition. Forgot where you parked? Again, not an issue since Find My Car gives you walking directions to your Acura car or SUV to avoid spending potential hours searching nearby blocks for your ride. For those times you run out of gas or get a flat at an inopportune time, Enhanced Roadside Service can help you schedule the services you need. That’s only getting started with the services you’ll find within the app—get started today by downloading AcuraLink and seeing how you can control your vehicle.

Drives Made Easy: Electronic Gear Selection & Parking Brake

To help make your drives easier, Electronic Gear Selection is found on a variety of Acura models, and offers push buttons to select from Drive, Neutral, and Park to help ensure you don’t enter the wrong mode (instead of rolling forward when you think you entered Park and instead entered neutral). The push-button style also helps you avoid hindrance from bottles in your cup holder or items sitting in your storage areas on your center console, bringing even more convenience to the drive.

Need to park on a steep hill? The Electronic Parking Brake can activate with the push of a button or flip of a switch depending on your model, and helps hold your vehicles in place when you need to stop on a sharp incline or park on a hill without worries of rolling back.
