Did you know that April is Distracted Driving Awareness Month? With modern life offering so many interruptions behind the wheel, distracted driving remains a serious concern. That’s why modern Acura safety features are more important than ever. AcuraWatch™ is a comprehensive suite of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) designed to help drivers stay focused and protected on the road. Learn more with the experts at Acura of Sherman Oaks.
Intelligent Alerts
When attention starts to drift, even slightly, your vehicle can begin to move out of its lane. AcuraWatch™ includes the Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS) and Lane Departure Warning (LDW), which work together to help keep you centered. These systems provide gentle steering assistance and visual or tactile alerts if unintentional lane movement is detected. They’re especially helpful during long drives where fatigue or distraction can set in.
Collision Prevention Technology
One of the most common causes of distracted driving accidents is delayed reaction time. The Collision Mitigation Braking System™ (CMBS™), a key feature within AcuraWatch™, continuously monitors the road ahead. If it detects a potential frontal collision, it can issue alerts and, if necessary, apply braking to help reduce the severity of an impact or avoid it altogether.
Safety When Reversing
Distractions don’t just happen at highway speeds — they’re common in parking lots too. The Rear Cross Traffic Monitor enhances awareness when backing up by using radar sensors to detect approaching vehicles from either side. It provides audible alerts and on-screen directional warnings, helping you maneuver more confidently in tight or busy spaces.
With AcuraWatch™, Acura continues to prioritize driver awareness and safety, offering advanced technologies that help keep you attentive and better protected every time you get behind the wheel.
