uuWhen Driving uBlind Spot Information System*
Driving
Blind Spot Information System*
Is designed to detect vehicl es in specified alert zones adjacent to your vehicle,
particularly in harder to see areas commonly known as “blind spots.”
When the system detects vehi cles approaching from behind in adjacent lanes, the
appropriate indicator comes on for a few se conds, providing assistance when you
change lanes.
■How the system works
1 Blind Spot Information System*
Important Safety Reminder
Like all assistance systems, blind spot information
system has limitations. Over reliance on blind spot
information system may result in a collision.
The blind spot information system alert indicator may
not come on under the following conditions:
•A vehicle does not stay in the alert zone for more
than two seconds.
•A vehicle is parked in a side lane.
•The speed difference betw een your vehicle and the
vehicle you are passing is greater than 6 mph (10
km/h).
•An object not detected by the radar sensors
approaches or passes your vehicle.
•A vehicle running in the adjacent lane is a
motorcycle or other small vehicle.
3WARNING
Failure to visually confirm that it is safe to
change lanes before doing so may result in
a crash and serious injury or death.
Do not rely only on the blind spot
information system wh en changing lanes.
Always look in your mi rrors, to either side
of your vehicle, and behind you for other
vehicles before changing lanes.
●The transmission is in ( D or
(S.●Your vehicle speed is
between 20 mph (32 km/h)
and 100 mph (160 km/h)
Alert zone range
A: Approx. 1.6 ft. (0.5 m)

uuAcuraWatchTMuTraffic Jam Assist
Driving
Traffic Jam Assist
The Traffic Jam Assist system uses a radar sensor mounted inside the front grille and
a camera mounted to the upper portion of the windshield to detect and monitor left
and right white (yellow) traffic lane line s as well as any vehicle ahead. Based on
inputs from the radar sensor and camera, th e system can adjust the speed of your
vehicle to maintain a set interval betwee n your vehicle and the one detected ahead.
It also can apply steering torque to keep yo ur vehicle in the center of the detected
lane when you are driving in heavy traffic.
■How Traffic Jam Assist works
If you are in heavy traffic and Adaptive Cruise Control with Low Speed Follow is
active, the Traffic Jam Assist system, upon detecting the traffic lane lines and a
vehicle ahead, will apply steering torque to help keep your vehicle in the center of
the lane.
The system adjusts the speed of your vehicl e to maintain a set interval between your
vehicle and the one detected ahead.
1 Traffic Jam Assist
3WARNING
Improper reliance on Traffic Jam Assist can
cause a crash resulting in injury or death.
Always maintain full control over your
vehicle even when this system is active. and
only use when on expressways or freeways.
Traffic Jam Assist is not an autonomous
driving system.
3WARNING
Failure to securely park vehicle when
stopped while Adaptive Cruise Control with
Low Speed Follow is active can allow the
vehicle to roll away, resulting in a crash
causing injury or death.
Never stop the vehicle and exit it without
placing it in Park and setting the parking
brake.
