Acura Advance.

Interior
Standard Feature

The TSX continues its long-held reputation of providing elegant, yet functional, interiors. The look is modern and sophisticated, and everything has been designed to enhance the art of driving.

• Metallic-finish trim sweeps from the doors to either side of the center console, defining a dual-cockpit design.
• The center control panel extends forward to keep everything well within arm’s length.
• A three-dimensional treatment to the gauge cluster makes for easy readability.
• Floating needles on the gauges enable additional information to be displayed in the gauge centers

Build Quality
Standard Feature

The TSX is a testament to superior craftsmanship. This is readily apparent in the tightness of the body seams, the meticulously clean edges, and the way the taillights line up perfectly on both sides of the trunk lid seam. The same attention to detail extends to the areas you can’t readily see. Tight tolerances in the fitting of suspension, steering and drivetrain contribute to a feeling of solidity that will last throughout your years of ownership.

Front Seats
Standard Feature

Every TSX comes equipped with sumptuous, soft, perforated leather seats that provide the ideal balance of indulgence and support.

• Dual-level heated seats enhance the dual-zone, dual-mode automatic climate control system for added comfort on cold days.
• The driver will find just the right seating position with an 8-way power seat with adjustable lumbar support, and the front passenger has a 4-way power adjustment.
• Perforated seating surfaces breathe to provide long-term comfort in hot weather.
• Deep side bolsters secure you on curves, while the seatbacks support the contours of your back for long-term comfort.

Rear Seats
Standard Feature

With its opulent rear seats and generous rear passenger room, the TSX is the epitome of comfort.

• Rear seats have the same soft, perforated leather as the front seats.
• Rear seat room is outstanding for its class, with impressive leg and headroom for passengers over six feet tall.
• The Acura/ELS Surround^® Sound System on the Technology Package has strategically placed speakers to give rear passengers the surround sound audio effect enjoyed by front passengers.

Cabin Storage
Standard Feature

To help keep the cabin uncluttered, the TSX is fitted with 13 storage spaces, in addition to several beverage holders. At least six storage spaces are within easy reach of the driver, including:

• A center-covered storage bin, which contains a USB⁷ port, auxiliary audio input and 12-volt power source.
• A driver’s door bin
• An enclosed change tray
• A covered center console compartment
• An overhead sunglasses case
• A cubbyhole on the side of the front center console

Rear passengers enjoy:

• Dual beverage holders
• Bottle holders in the door panels
• Deep front seatback pockets

Cargo Storage
Standard Feature

The wedge shape of the TSX body allows for a generous 12.6 cu.ft. trunk, which can be expanded by dropping the rear seatbacks.

• The 60/40 rear seatbacks can be lowered from the trunk area via easy-to-reach releases.
• Minimal side intrusions and hinges that retreat into the lining allow for a large amount of usable storage space.
• The trunk opening is low and wide for easy loading and unloading.

Automatic Climate Control
Standard Feature

The TSX dual-zone, dual-mode automatic climate control system allows the driver and front passenger to create their own microclimates.

• Set your desired temperature and airflow distribution however you like. Your front passenger can set an entirely different temperature, and the system will maintain both.
• When alone, the driver can easily switch off the dual setting and set the whole cabin to a single temperature.
• Almost all climate control functions can be operated by voice commands.

GPS-linked Temperature Control
Technology Package

On models equipped with the Technology Package, the automatic temperature control system is enhanced by a GPS-linked solar sensor⁹, which enables the system to compensate for the sun’s position when maintaining cabin temperature.

• The GPS link monitors the sun’s intensity and location relative to the vehicle, enabling the system to know if the sun is significantly warming one side of the cabin.
• The system will then increase coolness or reduce heat on that side in order to maintain its designated temperature.
• The system is completely automatic and requires no manual adjustments, regardless of outside conditions.

Power Windows & Moonroof
Standard Feature

Power windows and moonroof let the outside in at the touch of a button. All of the windows and the moonroof can be opened by the key remote to start cooling the cabin on a hot day before you enter the car.

• The TSX moonroof offers greater airflow flexibility and open-air visibility.
• A finely tuned deflector reduces wind noise when the moonroof is in the open position.
• The windows and moonroof will retain their operational ability 10 minutes after the ignition is turned off or until the front doors are opened.
• When closing, the moonroof and front windows feature an auto-reverse safeguard that automatically stops and re-opens when encountering an obstacle.

Instrument Panel Design
Standard Feature

The TSX continues Acura’s long-standing reputation of offering instrument panels that combine elegance with functionality.

• Audio, climate and navigation controls extend forward so they are easy to reach.
• High-mounted displays are just a quick glance away from the road.
• The gauge cluster has a sophisticated three-dimensional appearance with floating needles for a quick, concise read.
• All controls, including those on the doors and steering wheel, are illuminated in a soft, white light.

Steering Wheel Controls
Standard Feature

A 3-spoke, leather-wrapped steering wheel provides comfortable, confident road handling. It is also host to a series of easy-to-use system controls.

• The left and right upper spokes contain integrated buttons for the audio and cruise control systems respectively.
• Behind the left and right upper spokes are paddle shifters for Sequential SportShift.
• At the five o’clock positions, you’ll find controls for the Multi-Information Display (MID). On the other side are controls for Bluetooth^®11 HandsFreeLink^®—and for models with the Acura Navigation System⁹—the Voice Recognition controls.

Multi-Information Display
Standard Feature

The Multi-Information Display (MID) is located within the speedometer and provides a variety of useful information.

• It includes an odometer, trip meter, ambient temperature, oil-life percentage, and several possible alerts.
• A vehicle graphic displays the location of an unlatched door or a tire with low pressure.
• The Maintenance Minder™ system displays maintenance reminders through the MID on items such as fluid and filter changes, tire rotation, and more.
• Controls at the five o'clock position of the steering wheel make it easy to scroll through the displays.

Voice Recognition
Technology Package

The Voice Recognition feature that accompanies the optional Acura Navigation System⁹ allows you to perform the most frequently used functions of the audio, climate control, and navigation systems without ever taking your hands off the wheel.

• With a simple click of the “Talk” steering wheel-mounted control, the audio system will instantly mute as you issue one of over 600 voice commands to the audio, climate or navigation systems.
• Some commands can replace multiple manual functions, for example: “CD 3, play song 4”, will turn on the audio system, select the third CD, and play the fourth song.
• You can enter a specific address, as the navigation system will recognize over a million city and street names.

Personalized Settings
Standard Feature

You can use the Multi-Information Display (MID) to customize several different vehicle functions according to your personal preferences.

• For instance, you can choose if and when you want the doors to automatically lock or how long the interior lights or headlights remain on after the ignition has been turned off.
• The MID will easily guide you through these and other customizable settings via three steering wheel-mounted controls.

Remote Entry
Standard Feature

The TSX key remote was given a few extra convenience features beyond the usual door lock, trunk release and panic button functions.

• The remote can lower the windows to air out the cabin as you approach.
• The TSX will read the driver’s seat position and other personalized settings that are linked to the remote and activate those settings the moment the driver’s door is opened.
• The key folds into the remote, making it more compact for carrying.
• If the remote is inside the trunk, you cannot accidentally lock the trunk.

Rearview Camera
Technology Package

When the transmission is in “Reverse.” you can view obstacles that are behind the TSX and below your normal field of vision through the large, 8-inch navigation screen.

• A camera located discreetly above the rear license plate provides clear visibility for short items, like tricycles or garbage cans.
• The display is also extremely useful when parallel parking.
• The side mirrors also enhance rearward visibility by automatically tilting down when reverse is engaged to reveal any objects close to the side of the car.

HID Headlights
Standard Feature

All TSX models are equipped with Xenon High-Intensity Discharge (HID) low-beam headlights for greatly enhanced clarity.

• Xenon lights produce a whiter light that brings out more details than conventional halogen bulbs.
• The HID lenses allow a more precise beam pattern that increases road visibility without blinding oncoming drivers.

Active Sound Control
TSX V-6

Active sound control is an inventive way to use the audio system to reduce engine noise inside the cabin. Since some engine noise is welcome in a performance vehicle, the system is linked to the throttle position and engine’s rpm to tune the V-6’s sound, based on how it’s being used. The result is remarkably quiet cruising with a satisfying growl upon acceleration.

• Microphones in the cabin detect low-end drivetrain frequencies. The system then creates a reverse-phase audio signal, which is sent to the door speakers and subwoofer to cancel unwanted engine and exhaust noise.
• The system is tuned to deliver a quiet cabin at low rpm, some throaty exhaust tone at mid-rpm, and a crisper exhaust note without high frequency harshness during high rpm.
• The system is always operating even when the audio system is turned off.
