Top Safety Features of The Acura RDX l Maus Acura North Tampa

Looking for the safest SUV money can buy? While the small luxury SUV segment is crowded with several options, the Acura RDX provides plenty of value and is packed with top-tier safety features and driver assistance technologies that deliver peace of mind every time you get behind the wheel. The Acura RDX has earned top marks from some of the industry’s most trusted safety organizations, including the IIHS and NHSTA.

Safety comes standard with every Acura vehicle, and the same holds true for the RDX. Every RDX is equipped with the comprehensive AcuraWatch suite of safety and driver-assist technologies. Here are the top safety features you’ll find in every Acura RDX.

Adaptive Cruise Control with Low-Speed Follow

This convenient technology uses the RDX’s radar and cameras to raise or lower the set cruising speed when slower vehicles are ahead. Acura’s reliable adaptive cruise control feature helps the RDX stay a specific distance away from the car in front. Acura’s taken adaptive cruise control further by allowing the driver to select a short, medium, or long interval from the vehicle ahead, allowing for a worry-free drive.

Blind-Spot Monitoring

One of Acura’s most helpful safety features, blind-spot monitoring detects vehicles coming from behind in adjacent lanes. Now, drivers no longer need to crane their heads and take their eyes off the road to change lanes. With Blind Spot Information triggering appropriate indicators and warnings, every RDX driver can change lanes with confidence.

Collision Mitigation Braking System

The AcuraWatch Collision Mitigation Braking System is a revolutionary technology that can save lives. It’s powered by a forward-facing camera and a radar transmitter that determine the distance and closing speed of any objects directly ahead in the path of travel. While AcuraWatch’s Forward Collision Warning should engage first, should the CMBS determine that a frontal collision is unavoidable, it applies strong braking to reduce impact velocity and force.

Forward Collision Warning

Every RDX is equipped with an ultramodern onboard camera that communicates with the AcuraWatch Forward Collision Warning system. This innovative safety feature monitors the gap between your vehicle and any objects in front. When the gap begins to close too quickly, the system provides both visual and audible warnings to indicate that you need to reduce your speed.

Rear Cross Traffic Monitor

Backing out of a driveway or street can be a harrowing experience, but Acura’s innovative Rear Cross Traffic Monitor system lets drivers reverse with confidence. When the vehicle is in reverse, Rear Cross Traffic Monitor relies on radar to detect vehicles moving nearby. When another vehicle is about to cross behind your RDX, the system provides audio and visual alerts on the rear-view camera monitor.
