SAFETY AND DRIVER ASSISTIVE

Road Departure Mitigation with Lane Departure Warning (LDW)

Part of the standard AcuraWatch™ suite of advanced safety and driver assistive technologies that help alert the driver to undesired lane or road departures, and takes active countermeasures to help the driver bring the vehicle back into its lane of travel.

• Uses the windshield-mounted camera to recognize when the vehicle may be leaving a detected lane or the roadway itself, and then generates steering torque to help the driver keep the vehicle in the lane or on the road.
• Works at speeds of 45–90 mph.
• If the system determines that the vehicle is deviating from a detected lane with no turn signal activation by the driver, or the vehicle is leaving the roadway, it will attempt to steer the vehicle back into the proper lane.
• Road Departure Mitigation⁵² setting is Normal or Wide: The driver is alerted with a rapid vibration through the steering wheel, the system beeps and a message appears in the Multi-Information Display (MID). Braking may also be applied if the painted lane lines are solid and continuous.
• Road Departure Mitigation setting is Warning Only: The system beeps and a message appears in the MID.
• Lane Departure Warning (LDW)³⁷ can help reduce the stress of driving on the open road and provide an increased level of active safety by alerting you if the vehicle is leaving a lane without a turn signal activated.
