Understanding AcuraWatch™: Your Built-In Safety Suite

At Acura of Wichita, we believe peace of mind should be part of every journey. That’s why every new Acura model comes equipped with AcuraWatch™—a comprehensive suite of advanced driver-assist technologies designed to help you stay aware, avoid collisions, and drive with greater confidence, whether you’re heading down Kellogg or road-tripping across Kansas.

But what exactly is AcuraWatch™, and how does it work? Let’s break it down.

What Is AcuraWatch™?

AcuraWatch™ is a standard package of safety and driver-assistance technologies available across the Acura lineup—including popular models like the MDX, RDX, TLX, and Integra. These systems use a combination of cameras and radar sensors to monitor the road and help prevent potential accidents before they happen.

AcuraWatch™ doesn’t replace safe driving—but it does act as a helpful second set of eyes, making everyday driving feel smoother, safer, and more intuitive.

Key Features of AcuraWatch™

Collision Mitigation Braking System™ (CMBS™)

If a potential frontal collision is detected, CMBS™ can apply the brakes to help reduce the impact or avoid it altogether. Whether it’s sudden traffic or a distracted driver ahead, CMBS™ is constantly watching out for you.

Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with Low-Speed Follow

Maintain a safe distance from the car in front of you—even in stop-and-go traffic. ACC adjusts your speed automatically and can bring the vehicle to a complete stop and resume driving when traffic picks up again.

Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS)

This feature helps you stay centered in your lane by making subtle steering adjustments if it senses the vehicle drifting. Perfect for long highway drives through Kansas where fatigue might creep in.

Road Departure Mitigation System (RDM)

RDM uses a front camera to detect if you’re unintentionally leaving the road. It can provide steering and braking assistance to help keep you safely on track.

Forward Collision Warning (FCW)

FCW alerts you if it detects a vehicle or object in your path and believes a collision may be imminent. The system will warn you with visual and audible alerts to help you react in time.

Lane Departure Warning (LDW)

LDW is designed to notify you if your vehicle begins to move out of its lane without a turn signal—another feature that keeps awareness high, even when your mind is on the day ahead.

Available Enhancements

Some Acura models also offer additional available safety tech, including:

• Blind Spot Information System (BSI)

• Rear Cross Traffic Monitor

• Surround-View Camera System

• Traffic Sign Recognition

These enhancements add even more visibility and support, especially in busy parking lots or crowded intersections.

Standard Where It Matters Most

The best part? AcuraWatch™ is standard on every new Acura model. That means you don’t have to move up to the highest trim level to enjoy advanced safety—it’s already built into the core of your Acura.
