DRIVER ASSISTANCE

Stay the Course

Forward-thinking technology improves awareness of the road, and can intervene to help avoid a situation or lessen its severity.

Lane Keeping Assist System

Lane Keeping Assist^⁵⁹ uses a forward-facing camera above the rearview mirror to keep the ILX centered in a detected lane. If you begin to drift to the side, it will gently guide the car back to the middle of the lane.

Included in

Adaptive Cruise Control

Adaptive Cruise Control⁵³ lets you set a desired speed and maintain a set time interval between you and the car detected ahead. That way you can enjoy cruise control even in light traffic conditions.

Included In

Technology Plus Package

Blind Spot Information (BSI) System

If the ILX detects a vehicle in the next lane’s alert zone while going over 20 MPH, an indicator appears on the side mirror. If you signal in the direction of that vehicle, the mirror indicator flashes and a warning beep sounds.^²⁰

SAFETY

Advanced Safety Design

For us, safety is personal. Not only do we meet government standards, we go above and beyond to focus on protection for all who share the road.

ACE Body Structure

The first line of defense in collision safety is in the structure of the car itself. Our Advanced Compatibility Engineering^TM body construction is integrated into every Acura model, including the ILX, to help reduce and disperse forces in front crashes with virtually any sized car.

Collision Mitigation Braking System

Distractions happen, so the Collision Mitigation Braking System^TM can alert you to obstacles detected ahead. It’s programmed to provide visual alerts when it determines a crash is possible – and if you don’t react, it can brake for you.^⁶¹

Included in

Vehicle Stability Assist

In wet conditions, Vehicle Stability Assist^TM¹² can reduce the dangers of over and under steering and loss of traction by applying brakes at each wheel as needed and when necessary, reducing engine power.
