What Is AcuraWatch And Does Every Model Have It? l Maus Acura

When you’re shopping for a new vehicle, you can’t put too high a price on safety. While many of today’s automakers include new safety technologies, Acura sets the bar higher with AcuraWatch , a full suite of driver-assist and collision avoidance technologies designed to give drivers even more confidence every time they get behind the wheel. Here’s everything you need to know about AcuraWatch, as well as which vehicles include it.

What is AcuraWatch?

AcuraWatch is a suite of innovative, advanced driver-assist and safety technologies designed to increase driver awareness and prevent accidents. Overall, the features deliver a more convenient driving experience, as well as a safer ride for the driver and passengers alike. The core features and technologies included with the AcuraWatch suite are:

• Adaptive Cruise Control. If you commute to work, you’ll love Acura’s Adaptive Cruise Control technology. At the touch of a button, you can set an ideal speed and following distance for traffic. For example, if you’re cruising down the highway and expect traffic ahead, it’s easy to set a maximum speed of 65 mph and a following distance of at least two car lengths. The system automatically accelerates or decelerates to maintain speed and a proper distance.

• Collision Mitigation Braking System. This system makes a critical difference when it comes to preventing or reducing the risk of a collision. Using sensors to monitor obstacles in front of the vehicle, the Collision Mitigation Braking System works in three stages to mitigate danger, applying the brakes at various forces to quickly slow down or stop the vehicle.

• Lane Departure Warning/Lane Keeping Assist. These two technologies work hand in hand to monitor travel lanes ahead, keeping your vehicle on track. Lane Departure Warning provides audio and visual alerts if your vehicle drifts out of its lane, while Lane Keeping Assist is an even more active system. It engages when you’ve drifted out of your lane of travel, actively steering your vehicle back into the correct lane.

• Road Departure Mitigation. Along with the Lane Keeping Assist system described above, Road Departure Mitigation alerts drivers when their vehicle drifts outside visible driving lanes. It works between speeds of 45 to 90 mph, and it includes audio and vibration warnings. Road Departure Mitigation even engages the steering wheel, adjusting the vehicle if it isn’t staying within the lanes.
