Have your brakes been issuing strange sounds or vibrations? Have you sensed a weakening in stopping power? If you suspect a worn-out brake pad or rotor, have it replaced at your local Acura dealership before it stops performing properly. Here are the most common symptoms that a car is in need of brake repair, plus guidance on how frequently you should have your brakes inspected. more Common Brake Repair Symptoms The brake pads are squeezed against the rotors whenever you slow or stop your car. This generates enormous friction and also steadily wears down each brake pad. Once a pad is on its last legs, it's designed to emit a high-pitched squealing sound, indicating it's time for a replacement. When rotors are damaged or worn out, you'll probably feel vibrations through the brake pedal whenever you use it. Odd sounds should also never be ignored. Grinding or clattering noises might indicate caliper problems or a severely worn-out brake pad that needs to be replaced at once. Urgent Warning Signs of Brake Trouble If you ever press the brake pedal and your car fails to slow down as rapidly as usual, pull over safely to inspect your brakes. Diminished brake force is hazardous and you shouldn't drive again until the fault is resolved. Your brakes might be overheating, which can occur as a result of prolonged usage in heavy traffic. Overheating occasionally leads to brake fade, where melting brake pad resin releases a small amount of gas, preventing full friction against the rotor. Weakened brakes might also point to leaking brake fluid. The brake fluid maintains hydraulic pressure inside the brake lines, carrying the stopping signal to the calipers. If your brake fluid is leaking, the brakes will probably feel spongy as well as weaker. Check under your car and in the wheel wells for puddles of oily yellow or brown fluid. Book Biannual Brake Inspections at Your Acura Dealership As brake problems tend to develop gradually over time, you can usually catch them early on with frequent brake inspections. It's wise to have your brakes examined by a professional at least twice a year. A full inspection involves the brake fluid and lines being checked under the hood and also under the car. Your vehicle will be raised so our technicians can remove the wheels, calipers, rotors, and pads, examining each component for excessive wear and tear. This way, we can also let you know how much longer each part will last and you're less likely to be surprised on the road. Visit Ed Martin Acura in Indianapolis, IN, for a brake inspection and repair today. We're an award-winning local dealership that's been helping out the drivers of our local community for decades.

AcuraWatch is an Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) that protects you while you drive. It's standard in all Acura vehicles and uses cameras, radar, and sensors to make your driving experience safer than ever. As your Acura dealership, we want to tell you about some of the Acura safety features and how they protect you. more Lane Keeping Assist (LKA) When driving, it can be easy to stray into a neighboring lane, which can be dangerous. A vehicle in that lane might not react in time, resulting in an accident. This feature uses a camera to identify the lane lines and works continually to keep your vehicle centered in its lane. If your wheels cross the lane lines without you actively steering or activating a direction indicator, the system provides visual and audible warnings. Should your vehicle continue to move into the lane, it will turn your steering wheel to guide your Acura back into its lane. Road Departure Mitigation (RDM) This system uses the same technology above, but it reacts if the camera detects your vehicle will cross over the road boundary lines. It will sound an audible warning and actively brake to prevent your Acura from leaving the road. Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) This feature can be activated whenever your vehicle exceeds 20 mph, and it helps to make highway driving less tedious. When you're driving long distances on the highway, you can set your cruise control to maintain a particular speed. You can also set a following distance between you and any vehicle ahead. Radar can detect a vehicle in front of your Acura, and braking will be automatically applied to reduce your speed to keep the preset distance. Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS) A camera and radar monitor any vehicle in front and assess its speed. The system calculates the distance between your bumper and the other vehicle and will instantly provide visual and audible warnings if you're closing too fast on the other vehicle. This gives you time to assess the situation and take corrective action. If you're unable to react in time, barking is automatically initiated to slow or stop your vehicle instantly, depending on the situation. Blind Spot Information System (BLIS) Blind spots are difficult, sometimes even impossible to see when driving. A vehicle or bicyclist can easily move into a blind spot and this could lead to an accident. Rear sensors continually scan the blind spots and sound an audible warning if anything crosses into one. This allows you to take evasive action and prevent a collision. If you'd like to know more about your safety systems, contact us today at Ed Martin Acura in Indianapolis, IN.

Acura is known for its luxurious, reliable vehicles. But what about their towing capacity? Before you head to an Acura dealership to start your search for a new tow vehicle, let's take a look at which of their vehicles have the highest tow rating. more Which Acura Vehicles Have the Best Towing Capacity? Acura has three different models of SUVs to choose from. In 2024, you can choose from the RDX Premium Sport Crossover, the MDX Premium Performance SUB, and the ZDX Premium All-Electric SUV. Each of these SUV models has a variety of features, as well as different tow capacities. The RDX Premium Sport Crossover has the lowest tow capacity of the three 2024 SUV models at 1,500 pounds. The ZDX Premium All-Electric SUV is next, with a tow capacity of 3,500 pounds. The MDX Premium Performance SUV has the highest tow capacity of not only the 2024 SUV models but of any Acura model. The tow rating of the MDX is 5,000 pounds. Towing With the MDX Premium Performance SUV In order to get the full 5,000-pound tow rating that the MDX Premium Performance SUV has to offer, you'll need to purchase a trim package that includes the SH-AWD powertrain. This powertrain is a rear-biased Super Handling All-Wheel Drive. That means that you'll have power in all four wheels, as well as a 10-speed automatic transmission and paddle shifters that will give you the power that you need to tow an RV, trailer or other gear with your Acura MDX. With the SH-AWD trim package, you'll also get a 3.5L engine, 290 horsepower, and 267 pounds per foot of torque. To make towing, or even just driving your vehicle without something in tow, even easier, the Acura MDX also comes equipped with an Integrated Dynamics System. This includes seven driving modes, ranging from Snow to Comfort to Speed. This makes it easy to quickly adjust your vehicle's driving mode for better performance, no matter the conditions. Towing With the ZDX Premium All-Electric SUV If you are towing less than 3,500 pounds and want the benefits of an all-electric SUV, the ZDX Premium All-Electric SUV is another great choice. While the interior of this vehicle is smaller than the MDX, with just two rows and five seats instead of three rows and seven seats, it still offers a spacious and stylish interior that's great for travel. However, it's important to keep in mind that while the MDX has AWD, the ZDX has a single motor with RWD. You will get more horsepower, at 342 compared to the MDX's 290 horsepower. The ZDX also has 325 pounds per foot of torque. If you are looking to tow lighter loads and want the eco-friendly benefits of an all-electric vehicle, the ZDX is a great alternative to the MDX.
