IN EVERY ILX
AcuraWatch™ offers a list of safety and driver assistance systems that come standard in every 2021 Acura ILX. You’ll drive with confidence with technology like Collision Mitigation Braking System™, Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Keeping Assist System and Road Departure Mitigation.
- COLLISION MITIGATION BRAKING SYSTEM™
The Collision Mitigation Braking System can alert you to obstacles detected ahead. Using both radar and camera, it's programmed to provide visual alerts when it determines a crash is possible and if you don't react, it can automatically brake for you.
- ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL
Setting the cruise control during your urban commute? Acura technology makes it possible. As with a conventional system, the available Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) system allows you to set a desired speed but also maintain a desired interval from the car detected ahead so you enjoy the benefits of cruise control in light traffic.
- LANE KEEPING ASSIST SYSTEM
The Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS) uses a camera that can identify lane divisions and works proactively to keep the vehicle within a detected lane. On straight or mildly curving roads, LKAS will work to maintain the car in the center of a detected lane.
- ROAD DEPARTURE MITIGATION SYSTEM
The Road Departure Mitigation system detects objects on the side of the road and helps you avoid them. When the system detects the ILX is about to leave the road, it warns the driver with an MID warning message, and on Advance models, an amber head-up warning. The system then uses the active steering function of the Lane Keeping Assist system and can automatically apply brakes if necessary to help keep you from leaving the road altogether.
