Jewel Eye LED Headlights

A signature design theme found on every Acura, offering greater illumination for more night-driving confidence.

• LED headlight low beams project a wider beam that reaches farther than halogens.
• LED elements last three times longer than HID headlights and six times longer than halogen bulbs, so they don’t have to be replaced as often.
• LED headlights use less energy, for better fuel efficiency.
• Each of the discrete LED elements have uniquely shaped beam patterns, and are individually aimed for optimal light distribution.

Auto-On/Off Headlight Operation with Wiper Integration

Improves convenience and visibility in bad weather.

• Low beams automatically illuminate when the wipers are used several times within a certain interval when the headlight switch is in the AUTO position.
• Low beams automatically turn off a few minutes after the wipers are stopped.
• When ambient light diminishes, the automatic lighting control feature overrides and the low beams illuminate regardless of wiper activity.
• Daytime running lights are illuminated whenever the vehicle is in operation.

Auto High Beam

When high beams are selected, the headlights will automatically switch to low beam for detected oncoming traffic.

LED Fog Lights

Cleanly integrated LED fog lights in the front fascia project a wide, low beam that helps the driver see more of the road when driving at night, enhancing visibility in inclement weather.

Safety & Driver Assistance

AcuraWatch

Acura’s standard suite of class-leading safety and driver-assist technologies help make driving easier and less stressful. Features include Adaptive Cruise Control with Low-Speed Follow,³⁴ Collision Mitigation Braking System™,³⁹ Lane Keeping Assist System³⁸ and Road Departure Mitigation.⁵²

Next-Generation Advanced Compatibility Engineering (ACE) Body Structure

Enhances occupant protection and crash compatibility in frontal collisions, helping you feel more confident and secure on the road.

• The ACE body structure is the second generation of Acura’s proprietary body structure design.
• In the event of a frontal crash, ACE distributes crash energy more evenly throughout the front of the vehicle, helping reduce forces transferred to the passenger compartment.
• ACE also helps more evenly disperse forces transferred to other vehicles in a frontal crash with differing bumper heights. It helps reduce the chances that one vehicle will override another, improving the crash compatibility of vehicles that differ in size.
• Offers additional strength and protection in small-overlap frontal collisions, which are among the most severe because they bypass a vehicle’s main front structure.

Advanced Airbag System (SRS)

Supplements the seat belts to help reduce the likelihood of head and upper body injuries in frontal crashes.

• Weight sensors in the front passenger seat and a position sensor for the driver seat determine deployment mode for the driver’s and front-passenger’s front airbags.

Driver’s Knee Airbag

The knee airbag below the steering column is designed to help the driver maintain proper position in a frontal crash to maximize the protection provided by the front airbags and seat belt.

• The driver’s knee airbag will be deployed only in the event of a sufficient frontal impact.

Blind Spot Information System

Visible and audible cues alert you when signaling a lane change into an adjacent, occupied lane.¹⁶

• Radar sensors in the rear bumper can trigger an alert when another vehicle is detected alongside or just to the rear in an adjacent lane.
• A warning light near the outside rearview mirror can alert the driver to the detected vehicle on that side.
• If the turn signals are activated to indicate a lane change when a vehicle is detected alongside, the system will issue an audible tone as well.

MODELS: MDX with Technology, A-Spec or Advance Package; MDX Sport Hybrid

MODELS: MDX with Advance Package, MDX Sport Hybrid with Advance Package

Multi-View Rear Camera with Dynamic Guidelines

Enhance visibility and confidence when backing out of a parking space or driveway.³³

• The rear camera image appears on the audio/information screen when the transmission is shifted into Reverse.
• Select the 130-degree normal view, 175-degree wide view or a top-down view of the parking area.
• On-screen guidelines indicate the vehicle’s width and make it easier to judge distances.
• With dynamic guidelines activated, on-screen lines move according to steering angle, projecting the vehicle’s trajectory.

MODELS: MDX with Standard, Technology, A-Spec or Entertainment Package, MDX Sport Hybrid

Rear Cross Traffic Monitor

Alerts you to detected vehicles crossing behind you backing out of a parking spot.³³

• When you’re backing up, radar sensors located in the rear of the vehicle can detect a vehicle approaching from either side.
• When a vehicle is detected, a tone sounds and an on-screen alert appears in the rear camera monitor to indicate whether the vehicle is coming from the left or right.

MODELS: MDX with Technology Package, A-Spec Package, and Advance Package; MDX Sport Hybrid

Parking Sensors

Front and rear ultrasonic-wave parking sensors determine proximity of objects to the front and rear, and trigger an audible alert and warning icon in the Multi-Information Display (MID) if an obstacle is detected.

• The alert cadence varies depending on object distance.
• Slow, intermittent beeps sound when an object is first detected at a distance.
• Beeping cadence increases as the vehicle gets closer to the object.
• The system will sound a continuous tone when the object is within a few inches of the vehicle.

MODELS: MDX with Technology, A-Spec or Advance Package; MDX Sport Hybrid

Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with Low-Speed Follow

Helps maintain a set following interval when it approaches a detected vehicle ahead and can reduce the stress of driving in traffic.

• By combining radar and camera data with data from speed sensors, ACC³⁴ can regulate vehicle speed to maintain a preset following interval.
• The low-speed follow feature can reduce driver workload in light traffic by maintaining a selected interval, even in stop-and-go traffic.
• If a vehicle detected ahead slows to a stop, the Acura vehicle will also come to a stop. With a press of the RES/+/SET switch up or down, or with a press of the accelerator pedal, the Acura vehicle will resume low-speed follow mode.

Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS) and Forward Collision Warning

Alerts you to a potential collision and can reduce collision forces if one becomes unavoidable.

• CMBS™³⁹ uses a front radar transceiver and forward-facing camera to determine the distance and closing speed of objects directly ahead.
• The system has three alert levels:
  • STAGE 1
    In the first stage, if there is a risk of a collision with a vehicle detected ahead, the system will flash a “Brake” warning in the Multi-Information Display.
  • STAGE 2
    If the risk of a collision has increased further and the driver still takes no action, the second stage will continue the visual and audible alerts, and apply light braking.
  • STAGE 3
    If the driver still has taken no action and the system determines that a collision is now unavoidable, CMBS will continue the visual and audible alerts, plus it will apply strong braking.
• The goal of CMBS is to alert you to apply the brakes.
• CMBS is part of the standard AcuraWatch™ suite of advanced safety and driver assistive technologies.

Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS)

Helps you steer more precisely, helping keep the vehicle more centered in its lane, so you can feel more in control, especially on narrow roadways.

• The LKAS³⁸ uses a camera to identify lane markings and works to keep the vehicle within a detected lane.
• If you steer the vehicle out of a detected lane without using a turn signal, the system sends a slight tug to the steering wheel and guides the car to the center of the lane.
• Though the steering wheel may move during its course adjustment, you can easily hold your course if you want.
• LKAS works on straight or mildly curving roads at speeds of 45–90 mph.
• LKAS is part of the AcuraWatch™ suite of advanced safety and driver assistive technologie

Road Departure Mitigation with Lane Departure Warning (LDW)

Part of the standard AcuraWatch™ suite of advanced safety and driver assistive technologies that help alert the driver to undesired lane or road departures, and takes active countermeasures to help the driver bring the vehicle back into its lane of travel.

• Uses the windshield-mounted camera to recognize when the vehicle may be leaving a detected lane or the roadway itself, and then applies the brakes (something that LKAS does not do) and generates steering torque to help the driver keep the vehicle in the lane or on the road.
• Works at speeds of 45–90 mph.
• If the system determines that the vehicle is deviating from a detected lane with no turn signal activation by the driver, or the vehicle is leaving the roadway, it will apply the brakes and attempt to steer the vehicle back into the proper lane.
• Road Departure Mitigation⁵² setting is Normal or Wide: The driver is alerted with a rapid vibration through the steering wheel, the system beeps and a message appears in the MID. Braking may also be applied if the painted lane lines are solid and continuous.
• Road Departure Mitigation setting is Warning Only: The system beeps and a message appears in the MID.
• Lane Departure Warning (LDW)³⁷ can help reduce the stress of driving on the open road and provide an increased level of active safety by alerting you if the vehicle is leaving a lane without a turn signal activated.

Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)

Helps the driver maintain proper tire air pressure to improve driving safety and fuel efficiency, as well as reduce wear and tear on the vehicle’s tires.

• TPMS indicates the pressure in all four tires in real time on the Multi-Information Display (MID).
• A TPMS alert icon illuminates whenever any of the tires has a significantly low pressure reading that requires attention.

Hill Start Assist

Helps reduce rollback when starting on hills.

• Brake pressure is held briefly when stopped on an incline or descent, allowing time for the driver’s foot to move from the brake pedal to the accelerator without having the vehicle start to move backward.

Hill Start Assist

Helps reduce rollback when starting on hills.

• Brake pressure is held briefly when stopped on an incline or descent, allowing time for the driver’s foot to move from the brake pedal to the accelerator without having the vehicle start to move backward.

Tire Sealant and Inflator Kit

Adds peace of mind with a kit stowed beneath the cargo floor to provide air to fill a low tire, or tire sealant to fix a repairable tire puncture.

• The kit contains a 12-volt compressor, an air pressure gauge and tire sealant in a compact, lightweight package.
• The compressor can provide air only, or air with sealant.

A compact Accessory Spare Tire Kit is available, and fits below the cargo floor. If a compact spare tire is used, the under-floor storage or available cargo bin system will need to be removed. A vehicle jack and lug wrench are included in the Accessory Spare Tire Kit.

MODELS: MDX 2WD, MDX Sport Hybrid

Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA) with Traction Control

Helps enhance control during acceleration, braking, cornering or a sudden maneuvers, helping to keep you safe and focused on the road.

• Vehicle Stability Assist™ (VSA^®)¹⁰ is an Electronic Stability Control system that works with the vehicle’s Drive-by-Wire™ throttle and its 4-channel ABS systems to enhance control capability.
• Vehicle Stability Assist with Traction Control applies braking force to a slipping wheel, driving force to the wheel with more traction.
• You can reduce the traction control effect, to allow more wheel slip during stuck conditions, by pressing the VSA button. (ABS remains fully operational at all times.)
• Vehicle Stability Assist with Traction Control can reduce the dangers of over- and understeering and loss of traction, reducing torque and applying brakes to each wheel as needed.
• The adjustment is so quick you may not even notice it’s happening.

Trailer Stability Assist

Boosts confidence by helping enhance vehicle stability while a trailer is being towed, on vehicles equipped with optional trailer hitch and wiring harness.

• When the vehicle and trailer become unstable while driving, trailer stability assist determines whether the cause is:
  • Crosswinds
  • Improper towbar down load
  • Excessive vehicle speed
• If trailer oscillation is detected and the swaying increases, the system applies the brakes or controls engine output to reduce vehicle speed.
• Trailer stability assist will not prevent the vehicle and trailer from swaying.
