AcuraWatch Safety Tech: Smarter Driving Starts Here
At Gettel Acura in Sarasota, we understand that peace of mind is a requirement, not an option. That’s where AcuraWatch comes in. AcuraWatch is a suite of advanced driver-assist features that are designed to help you stay ahead of the game while driving around Siesta Key or going out for that weekend getaway to Myakka River State Park, whether it’s just you or you have the whole family with you. AcuraWatch doesn’t do flashy for flashy's sake; it is outfitted with smart, useful technologies that make each and every time you drive safer and more confident each time.
What Is AcuraWatch?
AcuraWatch is a suite of driver-assistance and safety technologies standard on most new Acura models. Features within AcuraWatch are meant to keep watch on the road, assist in collision prevention or other dangers on the road, and otherwise step in to intervene. AcuraWatch covers everything from warning you that you may be about to collide with something to ensure you stay between the lines in your lane. AcuraWatch is working in the background to assist you, whether you believe it or not.
Whether you're in an Integra, TLX, MDX, or RDX, AcuraWatch provides an extra layer of support without replacing your judgment behind the wheel. It’s there to help you react faster, drive smarter, and stay focused on what matters.
Key AcuraWatch Features
- Collision Mitigation Braking System™ (CMBS™): If a frontal collision seems likely and you haven’t braked, CMBS™ can step in to apply the brakes and reduce the impact or possibly avoid it altogether. Think of it as your high-speed safety net.
- Road Departure Mitigation (RDM): If you’re drifting off the road without signaling, this feature can steer you back toward the center and even apply the brakes if needed. It’s a quiet but effective reminder to stay on track.
- Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with Low-Speed Follow: This isn’t your average cruise control. ACC maintains a set speed and distance from the car ahead, even bringing you to a full stop in slow-moving traffic and restarting when things pick up. Perfect for Sarasota’s I-75 slowdowns.
- Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS): LKAS keeps you centered in your lane with gentle steering adjustments. On long stretches of highway or when fatigue sets in, this feature works in the background to reduce the risk of drifting.
- Traffic Sign Recognition (TSR): AcuraWatch-equipped vehicles can read certain traffic signs and display them on your instrument panel. It’s like having a co-pilot who keeps an eye out for speed limits – even when you miss the sign.
- Forward Collision Warning (FCW) & Lane Departure Warning (LDW): These features use sensors and cameras to alert you to possible collisions or unintentional lane departures. You get a heads-up before things get serious, giving you time to respond calmly and quickly.
Safety That Fits Every Drive
AcuraWatch isn't limited to one model or trim – it’s becoming a standard feature across the lineup. Whether you’re commuting through downtown Sarasota, heading to the coast, or carpooling around Lakewood Ranch, you’ll appreciate how AcuraWatch adapts to different driving needs.
