A family driving in an Acura vehicle near Indianapolis, INAcura cars have never been safer. Not only do they greatly reduce your risk of having an accident, but they also protect you in the unlikely event of a crash. Let’s take a look at the car safety features included in the AcuraWatch suite, which come as standard with every Acura sedan and SUV. If you want a closer inspection of these safety features and more, you can always ask for a demo at your local Acura dealership.

Collision Mitigation Braking System

The majority of road accidents are rear-end collisions, but your risk of rear-ending another vehicle or of hitting any obstacle on the road is greatly diminished with Acura’s collision mitigation system.

With a combination of radar and camera, your Acura constantly monitors the road ahead. It alerts you when any possibility of a collision presents itself. If you don’t react quickly enough, the car brakes for you with just the right amount of stopping power, including an anti-lock braking mechanism, to ensure you don’t crash and you don’t skid, either.

Adaptive Cruise Control

Acura is on a mission to help create a collision-free world. One step in that direction is your vehicle’s ability to constantly monitor the distances between you and the vehicle ahead and behind.

When you turn on Adaptive Cruise Control, your car won’t ever break the three-second rule, keeping a safe distance at all times. During winter, when the roads are often icy, it can extend this safe distance between vehicles as you like.

Blind Spot Awareness

While on the highway, drivers face a certain danger whenever changing lanes. In the past, the blind spots that all human drivers have at the rear and each side of the car were the cause of many accidents.

Acura’s Blind Spot Awareness feature monitors your blind spots at all times. When a bicycle, motorcycle, or any other vehicle enters a blind spot, you’re alerted with a beep and a clear visual warning.

Jewel Eye LED Headlights

Acura’s whiter, brighter LED headlights are more powerful and longer-lasting than ever before. About half of all fatal car accidents happen after dark, despite there being fewer vehicles on the road. With Acura’s super-strong headlights and fog lights, you’re far less likely to experience visibility problems, no matter the time of night or the weather.

Upgrade Bubls at Your Local Acura Dealer

If you already have an Acura vehicle and you want to upgrade your bulbs to the latest, strongest LED options, no problem. You can usually have an upgrade carried out at your nearest dealership.

ACE Body Structure

Every Acura vehicle’s robust Advanced Compatibility Engineering (ACE) body structure is designed to stay rigid and crumple in just the right places in the event of a crash. The strategic crumple zones help to dispel the force exerted during a crash. The force is distributed safely away from the driver and passengers, who are protected inside a robust, rigid framework.
