5 Features of AcuraWatch Technology | Maus Acura North Tampa

When it comes to driver safety technology, Acura is leading the charge in providing one of the safest driving experiences you’ll find behind the wheel. Thanks to its AcuraWatch technology, there are plenty of driver-assist technologies and safety features designed to help prevent you from getting into a car accident and help to increase your awareness while driving.

But, what exactly are the features, and why are they important to know? That’s the question that your friends at Maus Acura of North Tampa wanted to answer for you today quickly.

Here are five of the most essential AcuraWatch Driver Assistance Technology features to know!

Forward Collision Warning System

The Forward Collision Warning System is a technology that helps reduce the stress of driving in traffic by warning you when you’re about to collide with another car. The camera system uses radar waves and video feed from front-facing cameras on your vehicle’s dashboard or windshield, as well as sensors around it recording the distance between you and any potential collision to determine if a crash is imminent.

Collision Mitigation Braking System

The Collision Mitigation Braking System alerts you or any driver to potential collisions and has the ability to actually reduce the force of a crash if it becomes unavoidable. Ultimately helping to save you and your passengers from more significant injury and harm.

Adaptive Cruise Control

Traditional cruise control has always been a useful tool on long highway trips, but it’s not very helpful during your daily commute around the North Tampa area. Thanks to adaptive cruise control (ACC), you can now set your desired speed, and your new Acura will keep that speed and adjust it while maintaining an interval between your car and the car detected ahead.

Lane Keeping Assist System

Lane Keeping Assist, along with Lane Departure Warning Systems, works in sync to keep you in your lane. In addition, Lane Keeping Assist automatically provides you with audible beeps and steering input if you should move out of your detected lane without signaling.

Traffic Jam Assist

There’s nothing more frustrating than stop-and-go traffic around the North Tampa area, and with the Traffic Jam Assist feature, you won’t have to worry about it again! TJA can bring your Acura to a complete stop and then accelerate without you needing to press on the gas once traffic starts moving again. It will even help steer your Acura within certain situations.

These are just five of the many incredible features of the AcurWatch technology that’s found in every Acura model we have at Maus Acura of North Tampa!
