DRIVING
The electronic brake distribution (EBD) system, which is part of the ABS,
also balances the front-to-rear braking distribution according to vehicle
loading.
When ABS activates, you may notice vibrations through the brake pedal or
the vehicle body, the brake pedal depressing further than usual, or hear a
motor noise from the engine compartment. These are all normal.
The ABS may not function correctly if you use an incorrect tire type and
size.
™
Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA
Helps to stabilize the vehicle during
cornering if the vehicle turns more or less
than what was intended. It also assists in
maintaining traction on slippery surfaces
by regulating engine and motor output
and selectively applying the brakes. VSA is
also known as Electronic Stability Control
(ESC).
n Turning the System On or Off
This button is on the driver side control
®
panel. VSA is turned on every time
you start the power system, even if
you previously turned it off. If you turn
®
VSA off, your vehicle will have normal
braking and cornering ability, but the
traction control function will be less
effective.

AcuraWatch
A driver support system which employs

grille and a front sensor camera mounted
to the interior side of the windshield,
behind the rearview mirror.

™
AcuraWatch :
Adaptive Cruise Control with Low Speed
Follow (ACC with Low Speed Follow):
Helps maintain a constant vehicle speed
and a set following-interval behind a
vehicle detected ahead of yours and, if the
detected vehicle comes to a stop, can
decelerate and stop your vehicle, without you having to keep your foot on the
brake or the accelerator.
Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS): Provides steering input to help keep the
vehicle in the middle of a detected lane and provides tactile and visual alerts if
the vehicle is detected drifting out of its lane.
Road Departure Mitigation (RDM) System: Alerts and helps to assist you
when the system detects a possibility of your vehicle unintentionally crossing
over detected lane markings and/or leaving the roadway altogether.
Collision Mitigation Braking System
a possibility of your vehicle colliding with a vehicle or a pedestrian detected in
™
front of yours. The CMBS is designed to alert you when a potential collision
is determined, as well as to reduce your vehicle speed to help minimize
collision severity when a collision is deemed unavoidable.
Traffic Jam Assist : Can assist you if you are in heavy traffic and Adaptive
Cruise Control with Low Speed Follow is active, the traffic jam assist system,
upon detecting the traffic lane lines and a vehicle ahead, will apply steering
torque to help keep your vehicle in the center of the lane. The system adjusts
the speed of your vehicle to maintain a set interval between your vehicle and
the one detected ahead.
