Acura has long been known for its safety features, with each model offering everything from standard cabin airbags to advanced driver-assistance systems. These carefully selected programs aim to offer comprehensive protection from common road hazards, and you can experience them for yourself at your local Acura dealership.
4 Advanced Acura Lineup Safety Features: Your Acura Dealership’s Top Picks
1. ACE Body Structure
ACE stands for “Advanced Compatibility Engineering,” and is Acura’s innovative safety system designed to provide trustworthy protection from impacts. ACE manufacturing also enhances the Acura’s crash compatibility, which is the vehicle’s ability to minimize damage to another vehicle in a collision. This body structure leverages clever engineering to evenly distribute crash energy across the front bumper, protecting occupants by keeping the energy away from the cabin.
2. Jewel Eye LEDs
The latest iteration of Acura’s Jewel Eye lights offers the brightest, whitest LEDs to date. These headlights are designed to mimic natural sunlight, helping drivers to see vivid colors with maximum clarity and reduce fatigue.
3. Vehicle Stability Assist
This program helps prevent oversteering or understeering caused by traction loss. This fast-acting safety system is ideal for wet road conditions, instantly detecting traction loss, reducing torque, and applying the brakes to spinning wheels, helping you get quickly back on track.
4. The AcuraWatch Safety Bundle
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) With Low-Speed Follow
ACC enables drivers to set and maintain a safe following distance from the vehicle ahead, rather than simply keeping a constant speed. With Low-Speed Follow, your Acura automatically slows to a stop and accelerates again based on the movements of the leading vehicle.
Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS)
This system can autonomously apply the brakes as well as provide supplemental hard braking power when needed. Using front-mounted sensors, CMBS monitors the vehicles ahead and alerts you when a frontal collision is imminent.
Rear Cross Traffic Monitor
This program uses sensors on your Acura’s rear bumper to detect and warn you about vehicles crossing your path from either side. This feature activates automatically when you put your Acura in reverse.
Road Departure Mitigation (RDM)
Capable of briefly controlling the steering to guide you back to the center of your lane, RDM monitors the painted road lines to ensure your Acura stays safely within them.
Traffic Sign Recognition
This program uses a front-facing camera to detect speed limit signs and display the information on your Acura’s dashboard. If your Acura is equipped with a head-up display, a digital icon of the sign will also appear there.
From Acura’s ACE body structure to the standard AcuraWatch suite on all sedans and SUVs, every feature reflects Acura’s unwavering commitment to innovation in safety.
