1Receiving XM® Radio
The XM® satellites are in orbit over the equator;
therefore, objects south of the vehicle may cause
satellite reception interruptions. Satellite signals are
more likely to be blocked by tall buildings and
mountains the farther north you travel from the
equator.
You may experience reception problems under the
following circumstances:•In a location with an obstruction to the south of
your vehicle.•In tunnels•On the lower level of a multi-tiered road•Large items carried on the roof rack

uuWhen DrivinguLane Departure Warning (LDW)
Continued
Driving
Lane Departure Warning (LDW)Alerts you when the system detects a possibility of your vehicle unintentionally
crossing over detected lane markings.
If your vehicle is getting too close to detected
left or right side lane markings without a turn
signal activated, LDW will give audible and
visual alerts.
The beeper sounds and the Lane Departure
message appears on the multi-information
display, letting you know that you need to
take appropriate action.
The system begins to search for lane markings when all the following conditions are met:
•The vehicle is traveling between at 40-90 mph (64-145 km/h).
•The vehicle is on a straight or slightly curved road.
•The turn signals are off.
•The brake pedal is not depressed.■
How the System Works
1Lane Departure Warning (LDW)
Important Safety Reminder
Like all assistance systems, LDW has limitations.
Over-reliance on LDW may result in a collision. It is
always your responsibility to keep the vehicle within
your driving lane.
LDW only alerts you when lane drift is detected
without a turn signal in use. LDW may not detect all
lane markings or lane departures; accuracy will vary
based on weather, speed and lane marker condition.
It is always your responsibility to safely operate the
vehicle and avoid collisions.

Driving
Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS)
*
Provides steering input to help keep the vehicle in the middle of a detected lane and
provides audible and visual alerts if the vehicle is detected drifting out of its lane.
1Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS)
*
Important Safety Reminders
The LKAS is for your convenience only. It is not a
substitute for your vehicle control. The system does
not work if you take your hands off the steering
wheel or fail to steer the vehicle.
2Multi-Information Display Warning and
Information Messages P. 93
Do not place an object on the top of the instrument
panel. It may reflect onto the windshield and prevent
the system from detecting lane lines properly.
The LKAS is convenient when it is used on freeways.
The LKAS may not work properly under the following
conditions:•Your tires are over or under inflated.•Your tires or wheels are of varied size or
construction.•Your vehicle’s suspension has been altered,
changing the height of the vehicle.•Your vehicle has heavy load in the trunk or on the
rear seats.•A compact spare tire
* is mounted.
•Driving on snowy or wet roads.•Roadway lane markers are difficult to see due to
weather (rain, snow, fog, etc.) or road conditions.•Driving on a road with temporary lane markings.•Multiple or varied lane markings are visible on the
pavement due to road repairs or old lane markings.•Roadway objects or structures are misinterpreted
as lane markers.•On non-freeway roadways and on freeways with
many curves.
■Steering input assist
The system applies torque to the
steering to keep the vehicle between
the left and right lane lines. The
applied torque becomes stronger as the
vehicle gets closer to either of the lane
lines.
■Audible and visual alerts
Beeps and a warning display alert
you that the vehicle is drifting out of
a detected lane.
When you operate the turn signals to change lanes, the system is suspended, and
resumes after the signals are off.
() If you make a lane change without operating the turn signals, the LKAS
alerts activate, and torque is applied to the steering.

When the System can be Used
1Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS)
*
•Shadows of adjacent objects are parallel to lane
markings.•The windshield is dirty.•Where the roadway has crossing or other lines
(e.g., such as at an intersection).
1LKAS camera
Never apply a film or attach any objects to the
windshield that could obstruct the LKAS camera’s
field of vision.
Scratches, nicks, and other damage to the windshield
within the LKAS camera’s field of vision can cause the
system to operate abnormally. If this occurs, we
recommend that you replace the windshield with a
genuine Acura replacement windshield. Making even
minor repairs within the camera’s field of vision or
installing an aftermarket replacement windshield
may also cause the system to operate abnormally.
After replacing the windshield, have a dealer
recalibrate the camera. Proper calibration of the LKAS
camera is necessary for the system to operate properly.
If the Can Not Operate: Camera Too Hot message
appears:•Use the climate control system to cool down the
interior and, if necessary, the defroster mode when
windows are fogged.•Start driving the vehicle to lower the windshield
temperature, which cools down the area around
the LKAS camera.
1When the System can be Used
If the vehicle drifts toward either left or right lane line
due to the system applying torque, turn off the LKAS
and have your vehicle checked by a dealer.
