Quick Reference Guide
AcuraWatchTM
AcuraWatchTM is a driver support system
which employs the use of two distinctly
different kinds of sensors, a radar sensor
located in the front grille and a front sensor
camera mounted to the interior side of the
windshield, behind the rear view mirror.
The camera is located
behind the rearview
mirror.
Front Sensor
Camera
Radar Sensor
The radar sensor is in
the front grille.
Adaptive Cruise Control
(ACC) with Low Speed
Follow (LSF)
(P391)
Helps maintain a constant vehicle speed and
a set following-interval behind a vehicle
detected ahead of yours and, if the detected
vehicle comes to a stop, can decelerate and
stop your vehicle, wi thout you having to
keep your foot on the brake or the
accelerator.
Road Departure
Mitigation (RDM) System
(P405)
Alerts and helps to assist you when the
system detects a possibility of your vehicle
unintentionally crossing over detected lane
markings.
Lane Keeping Assist
System (LKAS)
(P410)
Provides steering input to help keep the
vehicle in the middle of a detected lane and
provides tactile and visual alerts if the
vehicle is detected drifting out of its lane.
Collision Mitigation
Braking System
TM
(CMBS
TM) (P437)
Can assist you when there is a possibility of
your vehicle colliding with a vehicle or a
pedestrian detected in front of yours. The

potential collision is determined, as well as
to reduce your vehicle speed to help
minimize collision severity when a collision is
deemed unavoidable.
